Red Sauce is a homey Ital-American restaurant located in Little Italy. Some of the most popular menu items include the breaded and fried veal, eggplant and chicken sandwiches served either on a roll, hero bun or, for the carb-conscious, on a platter. The mouth-watering veal sandwich is topped with mozzarella cheese, fresh basil and their famous red sauce. Devour this sandwich and you’re taking in about one-third of your daily calories and half your fat and sodium.
