I stopped by this italian restaurant in Caesar's Palace for a bite to eat after getting in. There is some history about the original restaurant in NY and how a branch came to be located in Vegas.
I sat at the bar for dinner. The service was fast and efficient. The bartender was very prompt with drink refills and service. I did not suffer any lack of attention for eating at the bar compared to a table.
The food was delivered fast. It was hot and freshly made from what I could tell; I assume they have the components ready to go given the crowds that can occur. I went with they rmeatballs as a side and their Rigatoni Filleto di Pomodoro.
The meatballs were large, juicy, and hearty with a rich tomato sauce; a great meatball. The rigatoni was cooked al dente and well prepared for such quick service. The fillet di pomodoro was rich and complex. The tomato flavor was bright and rich; pancetta smokey. Onions sweet with just enough bite to them to round out the dish.
The service was fast, staff friendly, and food great. I did get sick later that night and can't for sure say it was the food, the recent flight, or just happen stance. But on another trip I would eat at Raos again.
