It consists of beef short ribs, pork shoulder, and homemade sausage slow-cooked in a rich tomato sauce. While "Sunday Sauce" is a catchy name, it doesn’t quite capture its deliciousness. You can even have this delightful dish served over fries—how amazing is that! Ironically, I didn't try the signature meatballs this time, but I plan to save it for my next visit, as I will definitely be back. And don’t forget to check out the chalkboard art by Peter Anthony from Austin. Enjoy your meal!

The orecchiette w/ broccoli rabe and homemade sausage was amazing. I am dairy free and was able to eat this dish no problem as it was sautéed with olive oil and garlic. Brussel sprouts with bacon and maple were delicious (also no dairy). According to the bf, the gnocchi was on par. It was mixed with a vodka cream sauce. The buffalo chicken meatballs were tasty, but beware spicy!!
