Rao's Restaurant

If you are lucky enough to know someone to get in to Rao's, go. The meatballs and sauce are worth the trip. Try the steak pizzaiola. If you can’t get in, buy their cookbook! -Jill Zarin, Real Housewiv

Just like an old-Hollywood movie, right? Just remember, it all started with the Original Crime Family: The Borgias.

To see what Wall Streeters and mobsters have in common, go to Rao’s. The food explodes with flavor, especially the lemon chicken and pasta dishes, says Suzanne Corso, author of Brooklyn Story.

So you can't get a table? Stop in and have a drink at the bar. Who knows, you might just run into Robert DeNiro or Woody Allen!

Rao's is one of the Greatest Italian-American food experiences in New York. Great Food, awesome ambiance, great vibe. It's exciting. One problem? You probably "Can't Get In"! Read in "La Tavola"

With all the mobster photos lining the walls, there’s no hiding the mafia connection behind this East Harlem institution - I'd buy some of their pasta sauces on the way out, you filthy animal!

Clams Oreganata and the Penne ala Vodka are the best in the world! and the Bread is amazing! They treat you better than family here!
