"I thought at first it was pretty odd but when you think about it, sauce is like gravy."

Yes, it is. But gravy, by definition, is made with meat drippings. Leaving that out and substituting some other fat makes it sauce.

Now it may be that in Italian, they don't make this distinction. Like in German they don't make the distinction we make between pies and cakes.

....or it could be that the sauce is made with meat drippings. In addition, I don't know if its typically Italian or typically SFO Italian.

A shout out to Al!

Ever heard of cream gravy. It is gravy, but often contains no meat drippings, although it can.

Many in the NYC area call the sauce, gravy.....in an informal poll I did at work, it was about 50-50.... I have never heard it referred to as a gravy in any restaurant...
