Went with a group of friends and were able to sit inside! So exciting. The food was delicious. Great pasta and sauces. The waiter was patient and helpful as we deliberated endlessly on what to eat, trying to figure out meal options for a vegan friend (they’re slim). They served pellegrino sparking water, which I always appreciate. Great service, good food, good vibes. Classic Italian joint.

I have always enjoyed their jarred sauces but never knew this place existed. Of course I had to book reservations a week in advance and it didn't disappoint!!! Will come back again until I've tried everything on their menu.

Everything was absolutely amazing!! I expected the pasta Bolognese to be delish. But truly everything we ate was wonderful. We had salad, fettuccine alfredo with mushrooms, fiocchi, tiramisu and cheesecake for dessert. Oh my goodness. It was the best cheesecake I've ever had in my life. And the fiocchi was out of this world!! It was filled with pear and ricotta and other stuff and was just unreal. Also service is super professional and friendly. Love. Will definitely come back!!

Staff was friendly and attentive and very helpful.
Ok so first the ok stuff:

Fettuccine Alfredo
Veal marsala
Bone in Veal parmesan
Rigatoni with marinara.perfectly cooked al dente

Again not bad but ok very edible just didn't get me excited.
My wife and family though loved all of the above dishes

Now the good stuff:

The Caesar salad was one of , if not the best I've ever had . Highly recommended.

The meatballs with gravy ( chunky marinara sauce I'm not sure if there is meat in it) OMG DELICIOUS!!! nice char on the outside and soft and delicious inside....so good ????????.
YOU HAVE TO TRY THESE!

Pork chops with spicy and sweet cherry peppers.
The pork chops were cooked to perfection with nice color on the outside and a wonderful texture inside soft and juicy ...so good ????????.
YOU HAVE TO TRY THESE!

If you like casual fine dining with a nice atmosphere you can't go wrong with Rao's

Walk into the set of The Godfather and u better order yourself the meatballs, Capisce?! Paired with one of their fine bottles of Chianti, order yourself a pasta dish- can’t go wrong with any of them! This place is a hidden gem so choose your company wisely! Bon appetite!

Cheese cake was the best. The meatball appetizer was huge and really tasty. Braised shore ribs was ok, too much rosemary in the polenta. And most importantly the tomato sauce on the pasta was really good.

We did not enjoy the service and the atmosphere as much the table we happen to sit on was right in front of the Cook's line would with no buffer. We did not get to see the food being cooked but got to see all the utilities that goes around with cooking food

I have to say that this place surprised me very much. When I think of chain Italian restaurants, I think of Macaroni grill and the like. I didn't realize this was not like that. I've seen and bought their sauces in a couple of locations. It's what brought me to the restaurant in the first place. My favorite were the meatballs. The sauce is like grandma used to make. Absolutely delicious. I made sure to save room for the cheesecake which made the dinner completely wonderful. I would go here again and again. Thanks to Kevin for the awesome service as well!

I buy Raos products from my local grocery store in Houston and I love their sauces. I knew Raos has a location in New York, however, I had no idea they had an LA location. I was thrilled to make a reservation and to experience Raos in person.

I'm so happy we went here. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with the meatballs which were soft and flavorful. The caesar salad was exquisite and we ended with spaghetti and marinara. The spaghetti with marinara was quite heavenly. I wished I had room for dessert after everything.

On a final note, the restaurant staff was very friendly, professional and welcoming. Our server Marco was so great! We will definitely dine at Raos again when we visit LA.

I didn't think you could get good Italian food in LA but THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! Rao's is my new happy place. Came here for my birthday and the staff is the best, the food is incredible, the wine list...don't get me started! They do it right.
