| - So we live in CT, have tried for YEARS to get into Rao's NY (knowing it's totally impossible, but hoping anyway), but decided, while in Vegas, we'd go to the one here, to see what all the hype was about. Upon arriving at 10 p.m. (Vegas time, on a Monday night) we were told they didn't have a table for two (despite our being able to see many open tables). That's ok, we're happy to sit at the bar. The bartender was super nice, very helpful with suggestions for food & wine. We tried a Tuscan red (1st time, despite being AVID wine drinkers & Italian food & restaurant fans) and it was great. My husband got the Chicken Scappiolini (or something like that, the menu isn't available on line) at the bartenders suggestion & he LOVED it! Tons of chicken (bone in) & sausage, smothered in red, yellow & green (sweet & hot) peppers, with onions & garlic. Smelled amazing! I had the Ravioli Pillows (beggars purses stuffed with Ricotta & pear, (wow) in a light parmesean, butter, sage, cranberry, oil sauce).... they were rich & decadent & delish!!! Absolutely delicious dinner. I DO recommend Rao's & believe the hype now. We will continue our pursuit of the NY location, but would definitely return to the Vegas one as well.
