As far as jarred sauces go, I'd say that Bertolli's products are among the best value for taste/quality relative to cost. However, when considering this sauce as a standalone Alfredo sauce, it's pretty mediocre. I would agree with another reviewer that the prominent flavor in this isn't the parmesan, which is a bit disappointing. Overall, I'd say this is a fairly good purchase if you're looking to make a quick pasta bake dish. I would buy this again in the future.

HISTORY OF ALFREDO DI LELIO CREATOR IN 1908 OF “FETTUCCINE ALL’ALFREDO” (“FETTUCCINE ALFREDO”), NOW SERVED BY HIS NEPHEW INES DI LELIO, AT THE RESTAURANT “IL VERO ALFREDO” – “ALFREDO DI ROMA” IN ROME, PIAZZA AUGUSTO IMPERATORE 30 With reference to your article I have the pleasure to tell you the history of my grandfather Alfredo Di Lelio, who is the creator of “Fettuccine all’Alfredo” (“Fettuccine Alfredo”) in 1908 in the “trattoria” run by his mother Angelina in Rome, Piazza Rosa (Piazza disappeared in 1910 following the construction of the Galleria Colonna / Sordi). This “trattoria” of Piazza Rosa has become the “birthplace of fettuccine all’Alfredo”. More specifically, as is well known to many people who love the “fettuccine all’Alfredo", this famous dish in the world was invented by Alfredo Di Lelio concerned about the lack of appetite of his wife Ines, who was pregnant with my father Armando (born February 26, 1908). Alfredo di Lelio opened his restaurant “Alfredo” in 1914 in Rome and in 1943, during the war, he sold the restaurant to others outside his family. In 1950 Alfredo Di Lelio decided to reopen with his son Armando his restaurant in Piazza Augusto Imperatore n.30 "Il Vero Alfredo" (“Alfredo di Roma”), whose fame in the world has been strengthened by his nephew Alfredo and that now managed by me, with the famous “gold cutlery” (fork and spoon gold) donated in 1927 by two well-known American actors Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks (in gratitude for the hospitality). See the website of “Il Vero Alfredo”. I must clarify that other restaurants "Alfredo" in Rome do not belong and are out of my brand "Il Vero Alfredo – Alfredo di Roma". The brand "Il Vero Alfredo - Alfredo di Roma" is present in Mexico with a restaurant in Mexico City and a trattoria in Cozumel) on the basis of franchising relationships with the Group Hotel Presidente Intercontinental Mexico. The restaurant “Il Vero Alfredo” is in the Registry of “Historic Shops of Excellence - section on Historical Activities of Excellence” of the Municipality of Roma Capitale. Best regards Ines Di Lelio IN ITALIANO STORIA DI ALFREDO DI LELIO, CREATORE DELLE “FETTUCCINE ALL’ALFREDO” (“FETTUCCINE ALFREDO”), E DELLA SUA TRADIZIONE FAMILIARE PRESSO IL RISTORANTE “IL VERO ALFREDO” (“ALFREDO DI ROMA”) IN PIAZZA AUGUSTO IMPERATORE A ROMA Con riferimento al Vostro articolo ho il piacere di raccontarVi la storia di mio nonno Alfredo Di Lelio, inventore delle note "fettuccine all'Alfredo" (“Fettuccine Alfredo”). Alfredo Di Lelio, nato nel settembre del 1883 a Roma in Vicolo di Santa Maria in Trastevere, cominciò a lavorare fin da ragazzo nella piccola trattoria aperta da sua madre Angelina in Piazza Rosa, un piccolo slargo (scomparso intorno al 1910) che esisteva prima della costruzione della Galleria Colonna (ora Galleria Sordi). Il 1908 fu un anno indimenticabile per Alfredo Di Lelio: nacque, infatti, suo figlio Armando e videro contemporaneamente la luce in tale trattoria di Piazza Rosa le sue “fettuccine”, divenute poi famose in tutto il mondo. Questa trattoria è “the birthplace of fettuccine all’Alfredo”. Alfredo Di Lelio inventò le sue “fettuccine” per dare un ricostituente naturale, a base di burro e parmigiano, a sua moglie (e mia nonna) Ines, prostrata in seguito al parto del suo primogenito (mio padre Armando). Il piatto delle “fettuccine” fu un successo familiare prima ancora di diventare il piatto che rese noto e popolare Alfredo Di Lelio, personaggio con “i baffi all’Umberto” ed i calli alle mani a forza di mischiare le sue “fettuccine” davanti ai clienti sempre più numerosi. Nel 1914, a seguito della chiusura di detta trattoria per la scomparsa di Piazza Rosa dovuta alla costruzione della Galleria Colonna, Alfredo Di Lelio decise di aprire a Roma il suo ristorante “Alfredo” che gestì fino al 1943, per poi cedere l’attività a terzi estranei alla sua famiglia. Ma l’assenza dalla scena gastronomica di Alfredo Di Lelio fu del tutto transitoria. Infatti nel 1950 riprese il controllo della sua tradizione familiare ed aprì, insieme al figlio Armando, il ristorante “Il Vero Alfredo” (noto all’estero anche come “Alfredo di Roma”) in Piazza Augusto Imperatore n.30 (cfr. il sito web di Il Vero Alfredo). Con l’avvio del nuovo ristorante Alfredo Di Lelio ottenne un forte successo di pubblico e di clienti negli anni della “dolce vita”. Successo, che, tuttora, richiama nel ristorante un flusso continuo di turisti da ogni parte del mondo per assaggiare le famose “fettuccine all’Alfredo” al doppio burro da me servite, con l’impegno di continuare nel tempo la tradizione familiare dei miei cari maestri, nonno Alfredo, mio padre Armando e mio fratello Alfredo. In particolare le fettuccine sono servite ai clienti con 2 “posate d’oro”: una forchetta ed un cucchiaio d’oro regalati nel 1927 ad Alfredo dai due noti attori americani M. Pickford e D. Fairbanks (in segno di gratitudine per l’ospitalità). Desidero precisare che altri ristoranti “Alfredo” a Roma non appartengono e sono fuori dal mio brand di famiglia. Il brand “Il Vero Alfredo – Alfredo di Roma” è presente in Messico con un ristorante a Città del Messico e una trattoria a Cozumel sulla base di rapporti di franchising con il Group Hotel Presidente Intercontinental Mexico. Vi informo che il Ristorante “Il Vero Alfredo” è presente nell’Albo dei “Negozi Storici di Eccellenza – sezione Attività Storiche di Eccellenza” del Comune di Roma Capitale. Grata per la Vostra attenzione ed ospitalità nel Vostro interessante blog, cordiali saluti Ines Di Lelio

good change of pace from spaghetti sauce. This white sauce is better than the others, and a delight to use with pasta when you add a little diced chicken breast with it. I like to grill the chicken (or better yet smoke it), dice it and add it to the white sauce, and add to some Barilla pasta.

Have purchased it a few times over several years, hoping the recipe had been changed it would be so convenient to use something already prepared. But I recently threw two jars away because of the taste. I liked some of your recipes for the Alfredo sauce, but made sauce from scratch, not in the jar. I let me know if you ever change the Alfredo sauce to be more like the Alfredo sauce you get in a real Italian restaurant.I like your tomato sauces.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love the Bertolli pasta sauce brand and even my family likes it and can't get enough of it since we always cook pasta once a week. Initially I was gonna get the Bertolli Alfredo with Aged Parmesan cheese sauce but put local Kroger store was out so I decided to try Knute Marinara sauce instead. We liked this brand better than the other ones we've tried before because it has low sodium content compared to others, it's more flavorful, it's made with fresh ingredients such as garlic and onions. It's delicious and taste better than restaurant made pasta.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have honestly never tried Bertolli. I have always just grabbed store brand and didn't think much of it. This Alfredo with Parm was sooo tasteful and smooth. Rich but not too rich. It was the perfect blend. My entire family was in love. My daughter asked if we could eat this everyday. I think Bertolli has convinced my family! We are making the switch'

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sauce is super creamy and delicious! You get the amazing taste of nutty parmesan yet the silky taste of heavy cream. It's perfect with any type of pasta or even vegetables! I made a delicious white lasagna with spinach and broccoli that everyone was in love with! Definitely will be stocking up on this sauce!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Bertolli Alfredo sauce tastes much better than other brands that I've tried. I would by it again in a heartbeat. Bertolli makes a great pasta dish any time of the year. This brand is my absolute favorite brand of pasta sauce. Nice creamy texture I enjoy so much.

Over the years I have tried various brands of jarred pasta sauce. They all went onto the trash because they tasted like evaporated milk mixed with parmaesan cheese - not to my liking. I bought Bertolli after reading an article stating that it was actually good. Bought myself a jar and gave it a taste. I can actually eat it without gagging. Pretty good for a jarred sauce. I will definitely be buying it again. FYI: I bought the alfredo sauce with parmesan cheese. I have not tried any other flavors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried this because I never tried it before and I was shocked how good it was it was so creamy and a great cheesy taste I will definitely buy again and tell all my family and friends how wonderful it is
