Gravy is a word for tomato sauce only used by Italian-Americans, its not used at all in Italy, according to several different articles I read last night
Anyone remember the Sopranos episode where they're in Italy to set up a deal with the Italian mob, and they're meeting in a restaurant with a couple mobsters?
Pauly orders macaroni with 'gravy' and neither the waiter nor the mobsters have a clue what he is talking about? When its finally made clear what he is asking for, one mobster looks at the other, knowing their American cousins arent fluent with Italian, and says... 'and you thought the Germans were classless pieces of shit'
