Yes, Tony Soprano often called spaghetti sauce "gravy". This is a common practice among Italian-Americans, who use the word "gravy" to refer to any type of meat sauce.
The term "gravy" is thought to have originated in the southern Italian region of Campania, where it was used to refer to a sauce made with tomatoes, meat, and bread.
In the HBO series The Sopranos, Tony Soprano is often seen eating spaghetti with "gravy".
Some Italian-Americans prefer to use the term "sauce", while others use the term "ragù".

Sacre bleu: This is a French exclamation that is used to express surprise, anger, or frustration. It is often used by Paulie Walnuts and other characters on the show.
The etymology of the French exclamation "sacre bleu" is uncertain, but it is thought to come from the Old French word "sacrer," which means "to make holy" or "to consecrate." The word "bleu" is thought to have been added to the word "sacrer" as a way of avoiding using the name of God in vain.
"Sacre bleu" is first attested in print in the 18th century. It was used in the context of religious blasphemy, and it was often used as a way of expressing surprise, anger, or frustration. The expression became more widely known in the English-speaking world in the 19th century, when it was used in the works of Charles Dickens and other authors.
Today, "sacre bleu" is still used in French, but it is not as common as it once was. This is because French society has become more secular, and there is less of a taboo against using religious expressions. "Sacre bleu" is still sometimes used in English, but it is often used ironically or humorously.
Here are some other interesting facts about "sacre bleu":
It is thought that the French playwright Molière coined the expression.
It is often used in conjunction with other French expressions, such as "mon Dieu" (my God) and "parbleu" (by God).
It is sometimes used as a euphemism for the English swear word "bloody."
It is a popular expression in French-Canadian culture.
It is a popular expression in the comic strip Astérix.
