I loved this place! I went with my fiancé, and the food was absolutely exquisite. The meatballs were a dream, they melted in your mouth — and the sauce totally stole the show. The service was wonderful, and the pasta was delicious. I’ll never forget those meatballs. I’ll definitely be back!!! amazing experience!

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Shout out to the manager, Ariana (I’m hoping I’m spelling your name right), and PATRICK. The whole team made us feel so cared for and welcome, and I honestly had such a good time. So cozy, the music made me feel at peace, the shrimp and meatballs were chefs kiss. I will be coming back again (and again)! #11vodka

Hopefully the chef will learn how to imply it We will come back

Rao’s gave us the best Italian meal I’ve ever had. My fiancée and I went for a date night and tried the meatballs, lobster pasta, shrimp, and chicken parm. Each dish was incredible, with the marinara sauce being hands down the best I’ve tasted. Can’t recommend this place enough for a special night out!
Very disappointed, my meatball starter was ok but burrata had a skin of leather and chicken parm WAS a tasteless piece of leather. Denis our server kept us entertained but the food was bad bad bad. Never ever again. We were told the head chef was sitting at a table across from us but perhaps it’s better that he trains up his staff before taking a night off with his loud noisy buddy.

Extremely overpriced for what it is. It is difficult to find low cholesterol options; most dishes contain meat, dairy, or both. The staff are friendly and attentive. The music is good.
Vegetarian options: Most of the vegetarian options have cheese and are therefore high cholesterol.

Absolutely blown away by my recent dining experience at Rao’s! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. GM Francois and his staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The attention to detail, warm hospitality, and flawless service were truly exceptional.
Francois personally checked in to ensure we were enjoying our meal, and his team was incredibly attentive, making us feel like VIPs. The food was divine, every bite more delicious than the last. This is a place where both the cuisine and the service shine. Highly recommend!

Must try for the New York new comer. Food was fair and service was lacking with pushiness. Kicked out before the 2:00 imposed limit.
There was a table assistant that was very proper and attentive. But over all service was not consistent and it felt more of an in an out service.
No harm in trying if you don’t mind paying for expensive meal that lack perfection and service.
Canelones were soggy. Pesto pasta was excellent , veal Parmesan was fare, potatoes and meatballs good.

Went here for my birthday dinner was a fantastic experience. Wanted to try the nyc location for years but this worked out. Not quite the iconic east Harlem haunt but still provides that nyc old charm.
