Our story

It started with a nickname at the farmers market

Every Saturday, as Ela Vivonetto unloaded her jars, the call went down the line of vendors and waiting customers: “Here comes the sauce lady.” The name stuck, and it's been on the door for over 30 years since.

Second-generation recipes from the Vivonetto family, handed down and simmered daily. You can taste the difference.

Our neighborhood

Italian food in Naples Park

You'll find us at 9331 Tamiami Trl N — on US 41 between 93rd and 94th Avenue N, in the Naples Park plaza. The name came from a farmers-market stall, where the call went down the line every Saturday: “here comes the sauce lady.” Thirty years on, it's still a working kitchen and an Italian market, not a dining room — we cook to order for pickup, delivery, and catering, and the Gourmet Market case is restocked every morning. The shelves carry the same jarred sauces, fresh pasta, and frozen dinners that started at that market stall.

A few doors down in the same plaza, our pizza is also served at Joe's Naples Park Diner — Naples Park's longtime American diner.

What Naples is saying

“Such a variety, pastas and sauces are delicious. She even offers excellent gluten free options! Oh and the service is welcoming, and informative!”

Rich Z · Google

“I had a wonderful experience meeting the owner who walked me through the process of heating the food at different times so that it would all be ready at the same time. She was very thorough with me and helped me feel comfortable that we could create a beautiful dining experience for my guest. She was a joy to work with and I look forward to other special events where The Sauce Lady will be front and center.❤️🎉”

“No place better! Love to stock up on sauce and bring it back to Wisconsin in a large cooler. Been doing this for 7 years and it is such a treat!!!”
