    Came here for my boyfriend's birthday and had the most spectacular experience from beginning to end! The drinks were great, and food FANTASTIC. The appetizers and shareables were so good and well prepared, and so was the bread!! We had to stop ourselves from inhaling it all so we can enjoy the delicious ribeye that was cooked perfectly. To tie it all together, our waitress Erica was truly a gem, and the sommelier Courtney just as lovely. Thank you, Gwen team, for the fun and memorable experience!

    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 with Johnny Roastbeef. He made the night magical and so much fun with his stories of how the brand became so popular and telling us about the other restaurant locations in Harlem and FL. All in all 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!
