Originally from NYC & now living in Vegas, family and friends from both Hawaii and NY visited me last week 7/13/12. We were so excited to go to Rao's for dinner and was quickly disappointed with the meal.
The antipasta & meatball appetizer was good. The five of us had the worst Italian meal ever. I had the famous Lemon Chicken - reminded me more like they caught a pigeon. Extremely dry with not even a sprig of parsely to dress up the plate - no sides came with it. The lemon sauce was extremely sour - they should just get rid of this dish.
Our bill was close to $500 which included two bottles of wine - what a waste of money!
Carmine's is opening up at Caesars soon - Rao's close your doors - here comes real Italian food!
Stay away!
