The Sauce Lady has fed Naples families for more than 30 years — the second-generation recipes Ela Vivonetto grew up with, made from scratch every morning in our Naples Park kitchen. Catering is that same food, scaled up: sauces simmered for hours, pasta and ravioli rolled fresh, lasagna layered by hand, and pans of chicken parmigiana and manicotti built to order. Nothing is pre-packaged; nothing is fried and frozen.
You host; we cook. Every order leaves the kitchen fully cooked and packed in serving pans with clear reheating directions, so a helper or a warm oven is all you need to get dinner on the table. We cater from an intimate dinner for two up to 100 guests and more, for pickup at the shop or delivery across the Naples area. Dine-in isn't available — The Sauce Lady is a kitchen and market.
Layered by hand and baked to order. Quarter pan serves 2–3 · half pan serves 5–6 · full pan serves 10–12.
| Lasagna | ¼ pan | ½ pan | Full pan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheese Lasagna | $75 | $105 | $200 |
| Meat Lasagna | $75 | $105 | $200 |
| Florentine Lasagna | $85 | $150 | $250 |
| Vegetable Lasagna | $85 | $150 | $250 |
Florentine is spinach and ricotta; the vegetable pan is layered with roasted vegetables — both vegetarian. Ask about gluten-free and other dietary options for your group.
Beyond lasagna, most of the kitchen scales to a crowd. Order these by the tray or portioned per guest — call (239) 592-5557 for a quote sized to your headcount:
We size trays and per-guest portions to your headcount when you call. Dietary tags follow the same GF / VG / V / DF system as our menu and Gourmet-to-Go case; tell us your group's needs and we'll flag every dish.
Office lunches & meetings. Trays of pasta, chicken, salad, and bread that hold well through a lunch hour, dropped off in Naples, Naples Park, and North Naples on your schedule.
Graduations & parties. Grad-season spreads for a backyard or clubhouse — mix full pans of lasagna with a few trays and a dessert board and feed the whole guest list without cooking.
Holidays & family gatherings. The lasagna, meatballs, and sauces Naples families have ordered for decades. Book ahead for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter — they fill up fast.
Dinner parties at home. A from-scratch Italian menu you finish in your own oven — a private-chef-style table without hiring a chef, picked up or dropped off ready to reheat.
Catering pickup is at our Naples Park shop; catering delivery covers the same communities as our hot delivery menu and Gourmet-to-Go case:
Tell us your date, headcount, and any dietary needs and we'll build a menu and a quote. Two days' notice minimum; more for large parties.

“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.❤️🎉”
“Such a variety, pastas and sauces are delicious. She even offers excellent gluten free options! Oh and the service is welcoming, and informative!”
“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!!!”
Our pizza is also served at Joe's Naples Park Diner, a few doors down in the same plaza on US 41 — Naples Park's longtime American diner.
At least 48 hours. Call as soon as you have a date — larger parties and holiday weeks book up early, so more notice is always better.
We offer pickup at 9331 Tamiami Trl N in Naples Park and delivery and drop-off across the Naples area. Call (239) 592-5557 to confirm delivery for your date and address.
As a rough guide, a full lasagna pan serves 10–12 and a half pan serves 5–6. For trays and per-guest portions we size the order to your headcount when you call.
Yes. We use the same GF (gluten-free), VG (vegan), V (vegetarian), and DF (dairy-free) tags as our menu — gluten-free marinara, vegan arrabbiata, dairy-free soups, gluten-free dry pasta, and vegetarian lasagna and baked pastas. Tell us how many guests need each and we portion it separately.
Call (239) 592-5557 for current catering minimums and deposit terms when you book.

Yes — office lunches, meetings, graduations, showers, holidays, and dinners at home, from a few people to 100 guests and more.
