Most Helpful Review

Eating at this legendary New York restaurant in my hometown at the Palace evoked memories of my youth at the Sunday family dinner table. My Grandmother slaved for days to prepare these bountiful Italian feasts and with braciole, sausage, lasagna, meatballs and the Family Sauce. I had not eaten meatballs as good until I dined at Rao's! I loved the food, wine list and especially the service which made me feel like a guest at a small family eatery! I especially enjoyed meeting proprietor Frank Pellegrino, a warm and friendly host who makes the guests feel like High Rollers!

    the food is quite good but the value is absolutely horrible! I had veal parmigiana for $ 49. That is correct...$ 49...ask yourself one question: do you think they could give you a side of pasta for that price? You know the answer.

    I've eaten there 3 times and again the food is quite good but being abused as I've described is no longer working for me.

    My experience here has been mixed, some meals great and some not so great. On my last visit I was very impressed with the veal with sweet hot peppers, and the roasted red pepper appetizer (with raisins !). I like sitting in the indoor patio rather than one of the smaller rooms. The friendly staff and good music almost make up for the occasional miss by the kitchen.

  • "Most arrogant restaurant in the world. They get off on having no availability for anyone, unless they're ""personal friends."" Caesar's really screwed up big time when they dedicated precious casino space to this poor excuse for a restaurant."

  • "As a former ""New Yawka"", I was introduced to Rao's in the early '70's. Been there 2x. Am thrilled to be able to relive those moments in their Las Vegas location. My personal favorite dish is the Cold Seafood Salad. Can be shared as an appetizer or dinner for one. No matter what dish you order; you won't be sorry!!"

    The exact polar opposite of its NYC outpost. So disappointing. Makes franchise Italian restaurants a better dining experience. For example, Fra Diavolo sauce is extra vinegar on the over done pasta. Bah!
