Restaurant Ratings & Reviews Rao's (Caesars Palace)

3 Stars KK February 09, 2012

Frustrated that my favorite Italian restaurant was just mediocre on my visit last night. $18 house Merlot.......c'mon. The entree's are only $25, how do you justify that price hike? My chicken dish was average, the bone-in wasn't quartered like it should be ( I have had this dish several times here ). Meatballs were good.......but $16 for two meatballs? There are too many other places to eat.

Been fiending Italian in a bad way this holiday season, so decided to finally try this place with my lady-friend. Slow time in Vegas in December, so getting a table wasn't hard at all. Plus, the place is about seven times the size of the famous New York restaurant. Service was on-point - water glasses never empty, wine glasses refilled - as expected for their prices. Caprese Salad and Escarole And Beans were both perfectly dressed/salted, great for sharing. Our mains were Taglioline With Peas & Ham and Chicken Scarpariello. Taglioline was fantastic and appropriately sized. The Chicken dish was an enormous, nearly family-style affair. It was spicy, as expected. Great rustic dish for the winter. We also ordered the famous Rao's Meatballs which were quite bland and under seasoned. Sad. But the real stand-out: the peanut butter ice cream chocolate sandwich. Absolutely phenomenal. Best dessert I've had this year. Straightforward, sweet, soft and light. I'd go back to Rao's, for sure.

Was really excited to try Rao's. What a disappointment ! Waiter barely acknowledged us, had to ask for bread & the food was passable at best. Want a good meal go to joes in the same hotel.

Rao's is one of the best Italian restaurants on the Las Vegas strip. Service was excellent, Salad was fresh and crisp, the meatballs are absolutely delicious, as was the pasta. A must see

Rao's is a must. Service was exceptional and the food phenomenal. Fried mozzarella bread is out of this world. Meatballs are enormous. Menu is a little pricey, but well worth it.

Delicious Italian food. Started with a Caesar salad and an order of calimari. Ordered the lemon chicken-it was perfect. Finished with tiramisu for dessert.

Great food. Feels like a casual, hole in the wall in the middle of a casino. Perfect for a low key night. The meatballs & risotto were great. They also had this fried cheese sandwich thing as an appetizer. Very good

Meh. Nothing special. Try Bradley Ogden if you want a great meal at CP

The restaurant holds an atmosphere that throws you right into the old Italian feeling of the original Rao's in NY. The Christmas décor adds to the cozy warm feeling you get along with a little urge to roleplay the Italian persona if in fact you are not. Extremely friendly staff and food that tastes like it came right out of grandma's kitchen, I would definitely recommend trying it for yourself.
