    Years ago I saw Vita (Rita's recipe in the paper when she won a contest. I was so excited - this was nearly my dad's restaurant recipe from Letoni Italian Bar and Restaurant in South Philly! I had lost his recipe after the restaurant closed 22 years ago and was doing it from memory. This really helped me. The only significant difference is that my dad's secret was he cooked a large carrot in the gravy rather than adding sugar. The carrot adds natural sweetness and you remove it at the end. Thank you Rita- I've been using your recipe for many, many years now and am so glad to have found it online. The newspaper article has gotten crumbly!

    I have been making this sauce for YEARS - every since the first time I saw Vita featured on Food Network. I make this sauce for special occasions because once people try it - you will be the one asked to make the sauce in the future, time and time again. Some of the ingredients can be tricky to find - but try to follow exactly as directed. The recipe yields enough for a large dinner party with enough for left overs for a family of four. It freezes very well. I can't say enough about this gravy. When I make it - I just tell my husband, "We're having Vita's for DINNER!" - It's his favorite! YUMMMMMYYY!

    I made this recipe years ago and lost it until now. I am so glad I found it because this is real authentic gravy. It is somewhat labor intensive but well worth it.

    The flavor is very deep from the meats. Make a large batch and freeze.

    I was confused at first that they call it gravy when to me it is really spaghetti sauce. But being I have Italian in my blood and was looking for something similar to my Italian Grandmothers sauce...I can say I finally found it. This is the BEST tasting sauce ever. All day to make, but worth it!
