5 Memorable Ways to Connect Over Food, Fun, and Flavor
1. Classic Candlelit Dinner
You can never go wrong with a traditional sit-down meal for two. At The Sauce, the ambient lighting, rustic decor, and authentic Italian cuisine set the mood for romance.
Start with a shared antipasto platter, follow up with Penne alla Vodka or Lasagna, and end the night with house-made tiramisu.
Add a glass of Chianti or a craft cocktail to toast the evening.
Pro tip: Ask for a booth or quiet corner table when making your reservation.
2. Build-Your-Own Pasta Challenge
Turn your dinner into a fun little game—see who can build the best “Feelin’ Saucy” pasta bowl!
With options to choose your noodle, sauce, and protein, each of you can create a unique flavor combo.
Compare your creations, vote on the tastiest one, and maybe even trade bites. It’s playful, personal, and deliciously interactive.
“Food tastes better when there’s laughter between bites.”
3. Post-Dinner Arcade Showdown
After the meal, head to The Sauce’s built-in arcade and let your inner kids come out to play.
Challenge each other to Skee-Ball, pinball, or air hockey. It’s a lighthearted way to keep the fun going and adds a playful twist to your typical dinner date.
A little friendly competition can spark more chemistry than you’d think!
4. Wine & Dine Tasting Night
If you’re both wine lovers, plan your date around our curated wine list. Choose a few glasses to sample and pair with dishes like Caprese salad, creamy pastas, or charcuterie boards.
Talk flavor notes, share your favorites, and enjoy the elegance of wine tasting without leaving Pooler.
Occasionally, The Sauce offers themed wine events—be sure to ask your server about upcoming pairings.
