We had very high expectations and Rao's lived up to them. Not easy to do!
Delicious beet salad...Ate every last morsel.
Top notch veal parm (a flattened loin chop, fried to perfection with generous cheese) It was ala carte so we ordered a side of penne marinara. It could have used a little more sauce.
Excellent linguine and red clam sauce. Everything was well-prepared and tasty.
Even the olive oil on the table was first-rate--rich color and very tasty, not the typical light colored stuff you get in many places.
The only thing we weren't crazy about was the clams casino. They were "eh."
Too full for dessert!!
