Reviews

Though Vino De Milo has yet to receive many reviews, The Nibble raved about the company and its gourmet sauces:

• The sauces are so good, we enjoyed eating them straight from the jar when revisiting them for this review. If they were served at a fine Italian restaurant, that restaurant would be acclaimed for its sauces. That the name also alludes to a great masterpiece that symbolizes beauty and perfection did not escape our notice. – Karen Hochman
