Experience the taste of Italy in the heart of Adrian
A Family-Owned Tradition in Historic Downtown Adrian
Sauce Italian Grill & Pub stands as a vibrant and welcoming Italian dining experience in the heart of historic downtown Adrian. Family-owned and operated, we proudly uphold the traditions of genuine Italian cuisine and warm hospitality.
Our journey began in 2011 when David and Kim Horstman, passionate about Italian food and hospitality, took the reins of the former Mr. Ed's restaurant. They meticulously renovated the space, preserving the building's charming character while creating a modern and inviting ambiance.
A Menu of Culinary Delights
Our menu features a delightful blend of classic and contemporary Italian dishes, prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Enjoy traditional pasta dishes, gourmet pizzas, fresh seafood, and a variety of mouthwatering meat and vegetarian options.
More Than Just Food
At Sauce, we believe in creating a complete dining experience. Our attentive and professional staff guarantees exceptional service, while our charming outdoor patio offers a delightful setting for enjoying a leisurely meal. We're proud to offer Lenawee County the best of both worlds: a welcoming indoor dining room and a picturesque outdoor space to savor the flavors of Italy.
