Review:

Rao's in Hollywood is a classic Italian restaurant and replica of the venerable New York eatery that serves hearty, home-style Italian fare and casual wines in an intimate, romantic setting. The Rat Pack outpost features cozy red leather booths, dark wood accents, and twinkling year-round Christmas lights, and it has built its reputation on being impossible to get into with velvet-rope exclusivity. The menu reflects the tastes of New York with old-fashioned southern Italian fare with dishes of handmade pasta, paper-thin pizzas, fresh salads, platters antipasto, and ocean-fresh seafood. The exceptional wine list boasts both Italian and global wines with well-known and rare vintages, as well as signature cocktails and imported liqueurs.
