I've been very fortunate to get 3 reservations per year at Rao's for the last 23 years. The food, ambience and the history of the place is superb. You never know who you'll see there. The experience is unforgettable. Sadly, when Frank Pellegrino passed away a few years ago, Rao's lost some of its charm. To listen to Frank sing "My Girl" was simply amazing.
@K, U aren’t a KILLA about $500.00 +tip and that is about a $150.00 bar bill included
Rao’s Sauces are spectacular. Omg. Yummy.
Mr. Frank Pellegino Sr. (RIP) was one of a kind, the warmest host in NYC. I was so sad to hear that he had passed. RIP to Nicky The Vest too. Nothing can replace the “It’s A Wonderful Life” vibe that they brought.
A visit to the former “Marie Chiaro” Bar (now known as “Mulberry Street Bar”) does the trick - especially watching some of the old timers sing on Karaoke 🎤 Saturday’s.
“I dont wanna mention names” hahaha cause the whole mob has all the tables there
I'm sorry to hear that this old school gentleman is dead. RIP.
No one is dead, he's resting with the Lord.
I just hope these old traditions don’t die with guys like Frank. When I used to go out to eat Italian with Dad and Mom back in the day there was no menu. And the staff would sing to you as you ate and drank the night away. I never ate at Rao’s but I can totally relate because my parents took me to places like this in Little Italy when I was a kid.
I know, I love this guy
@@AnneewakeeChampionsAmen
Good heavens for the bottled Rao sauces in Costco - it's the best!
I can’t resist the lard bread….
i just tried this sauce a few weeks back the best thank you
The sauce is fantastic!
The only sauce I occasionally use out of a jar is strictly Rao’s. That’s if I run out of my home made sauce that I jar up every fall.
He was gr8 in the sopranos.
Mobbed up joint everything just fell off the back of a truck
RIP Frank Pellegrino!" Frankie No Way " !! No way can you get a table at Rao's! He was an icon in the business and not a bad actor too!!! I had the pleasure of eating in Rao's in Vegas, it was fabulous!
Seish's Mom thx so much! he is my uncle and wanted to tell all of his fans that to never give up your dreams!
and yes is my uncle is part of my grandpas side !!!!
Deepest condolences to all of Frank's family!! Gone too soon!! :(
Valentina Castaneda Vicuna Frank was a class act and a throwback. We need more Franks in the world. I hope the old traditions never die.
Ate there twice in 2010 amazing
Put the Lemon Chicken in the frozen dishes!!
!st time I called for reservation for a friend, Frankie answered and said "how did you get this number" rather indignantly. I called several influential friends who were able to get the reservation, but only on Thursday Night, as it turned out pretty much as often as I needed. Only in New York, could you get away with that....
Seems rather fishy behavior. Rao’s brand.
Those jarred sauces... the best. No, really, you cant make them as good. I dont care what anybody says 99,99% of those people who claim they can make em better, cant! And the 0,01% that can they only score a tie against bottled sauce. Its that good.
Studio 54 of food
The music is a little too excessive
Right. Turn it up a little more why dont ya!
The arrabbiata sauce is the best on the market
I totally agree! It's the only one I ever buy. So delicious!
Not to hard when you have 8 tables
Rip
I'm an Indian who has developed a fair palate for Italian cuisine travelling through Europe. This restaurant is truly authentic being outside Italy. Probably, it's the owner's thought of keeping things simple that makes it that way.
I mean just look at the dishes, you'll agree with what I'm sayin.
I can’t believe they allowed you inside the don’t like ppl of color
I never knew there is restaurant named after my surname
Rich history but rumor has it the food isn't anything to write home about.
Something seems fishy about this place. What is it really?!
mob hangout
What a mafia front.
Every single table booked for 36 years.
The place is empty.... No we are booked solid.
Can you imagine getting a phone call every day from the owner?
For over 30 years
Can I use your table...😂😂😂😂.
It is not a mafia. My cousin who is a restaurant owner in Brooklyn took me there, I was shocked we go tin Place was packed
@@tommysoprano1441 Well the owner isnt in the mafia, but each of the 5 families all have a table at Rao's. Thats 25/52 seats reserved for the mob 24/7. Well at least the gambinos, lucchese and genovese have a table
Each of the 5 families has a table at Raos and have for 25+ years.
@@fafafooey4126 I would love to eat there. I hear the atmosphere is great and the food not so bad. I hear the lemon roasted chicken is amazing. It’s almost impossible to get in.
@@tommysoprano1441 I know not being local or famous that ill never have the chance to go haha but being on the west coast i could likely visit the LA one. Not sure if it be the same though
It was always to greasy for me
Did you give up your table?
@@AR-td7cn Never wanted a table or a chair think they use motor oil to make that sauce.
