The food and service are awesome. The best veal parm and meatballs anywhere . Best Marinara sauce. The service by Kevin and his team just makes the food better.

Delicious food and amazing service. The owner was there greeting the customers. A great experience and nice to see the owner take pride in his business and appreciate customers. Thank you.

This is my new place. Great, authentic, NY, traditional, homemade Italian food is to be found here. The restaurant is cozy, staff is friendly, and the food comes out very quickly. Everything I've had so far has been great, and I intend to return!

This resturant is a hidden gem in Hollywod. It felt like we were in New York. From the moment you arrive you feel taken care of. The service, food, ambience ,and staff were wonderful. We will definitly be returning.

Very sad about this one, portion sizes were really large but all the food tasted pretty mediocre.
There were also flies in the dining room.

Hands down the best Italian food I've had in LA. This is the real, east coast Italian food that I've been seeking. The staff, restaurant, and ambiance are top notch. I've been caving it since I had it last week. This is my new place!

The food is great but absolutely overpriced. We celebrated my son's birthday and the check came up to over 300 dollars. I don't think a meal out should cost that much.
Killer place.....Classic Italian.....not many people here at 5:30.....bartender said that they could move to another location.....Im surprised the place wasn't packed, but Hollywierd is weird, so, ya can't expect things to be the same as everywhere else.

Dinner was excellent! We were looking for a great New York dining experience while on a long weekend in Los Angeles and were delighted with Rao's. Being raised in the New York City area we have certain expectations when it comes to Italian food and Rao's easily met every one. From a warm greeting at the door to excellent service and fabulous baked clams, veal, and cannoli, this place was great! Thanks for a wonderful dinner!

Very friendly and lively restaurant. Food came very fast, was hot, tasty, but generic, without any creativity.

We had a great server ,very friendly. We enjoyed the family style sitting in the front room. The food was tasty, we all enjoyed our meals.
