Grandpa Pete’s Sunday Sauce – Italian Tradition In Catskill

Grandpa Pete’s Sunday Sauce is a vibrant, family-owned gourmet Italian food company based in the scenic town of Catskill, New York. The brand celebrates authentic, handcrafted, all-natural Italian products inspired by cherished family recipes passed down through generations of the Serro family. Its diverse and exciting catalog features an array of small-batch gourmet tomato sauces, homemade-style pasta, and charming dinner gift boxes that make perfect presents for special occasions.

The business pays homage to Pete Serro, affectionately known as “Grandpa Pete,” whose family emigrated from the small town of Alcamo in Sicily to Brooklyn in the early 1900s. Pete Serro dedicated over twenty years to running a successful specialty bakery in Brooklyn, where his commitment to quality and tradition earned him a loyal following. Later, he relocated to Catskill, New York, where he served as chef at the historic Pollace’s Resort for an impressive thirty years, delighting guests with his culinary expertise.

Today, Pete’s children and extended family carry on his legacy by preserving and sharing his time-honored recipes. These recipes are slow-simmered using traditional old-world techniques, ensuring that his culinary heritage remains vibrant and alive. Through their dedication, they aim to connect generations past with those to come, fostering a sense of authenticity, warmth, and community in every jar and dish, and keeping Grandpa Pete’s tradition and passion for quality alive for many years to come.
