You can practically taste the love and generations of tradition in this dish from Chef John. An authentic taste of Italian home cooking, this dish pairs incredibly tender, juicy meatballs with a handmade marinara sauce dotted with spicy Italian sausage. The secret of this dish is to let simmer everything together, so the flavors mingle and the meatballs get infused with rich tomato sauce. Whether you call it Sunday Sauce, Sunday Gravy, or something else, this is classic Italian comfort food, just like grandma used to make.

About John DeLucie

For much of the past two decades, Chef John DeLucie has been one of New York City's most popular chefs leading a number of restaurants like Bedford & Co, Ainslie, Empire Diner, The Lion, and The Waverly Inn. Upon graduating from NYU, he eventually gave in to his natural culinary curiosity and began a tour of Europe's great cuisine centers (France and Italy) where he sculpted his own cooking style, fusing modern cooking techniques with European craft. Upon returning to the States, DeLucie landed several jobs including Chef de Cuisine at the venerable seafood restaurant Oceana. Today, DeLucie's style remains as distinctively simple as it is universally praised. His newest restaurant, Merchants Social, opened in Hudson, New York, in 2022.
