This was our first visit to Rao's. We came on a recommendation for a friends birthday. It was a perfect evening! The staff was on point - super friendly. They sat us on the back patio which was awesome. We (of course) had the meatballs and they were incredible! The Parmesan crisps served when we sat down were so good! We all loved our meals - veal parm, pasta carbonara, pasta oilo and the pear/fennel salad to start was delish! The highlight of the night was meeting/chatting...
We've been regulars for years. The food is exceptional. I love the meatballs, and the veal Parmesan and the veal marsala and so many other dishes! The waiters are all fantastic. The restaurant has such an amazing cozy vibe! It's always so much fun to see Johnny Roast Beef! And an added bonus as they make a terrific martini and they don't skimp on the alcohol like so many other restaurants do. 
I finally made a reservation for Rao's. We had a great dinner last night and the staff was very attentive and friendly. I wish I hadn't waited so many years to dine there. We plan to return often. Having a meal at their NY location has been a longtime goal. Hopefully I will get in there someday.
