Restaurant Quick Facts
- One member of the family that owns Rao's tries to be on site at all times to interact with guests and make sure that everything runs smoothly.

This is by far the best Italian restaurant in Las Vegas. When you go there, ask for Bubbles, he'll help you out and make you feel like part of the family.

Summary
Features: This authentic Italian restaurant has taken the cue from the other Rao's location in New York City—which has been a celebrity hot spot for years—and brought a family feel and delicious Italian recipes to the Rao's inside Caesars Palace.
Why We Dine: Rao's is an Italian restaurant institution in New York, and the Rao's in Las Vegas seems to be on the same track; the warm environment, personal service and the excellent food keep us coming here again and again.
- Our Buddy Bubbles: Bubbles is the gentleman who meets you at the entrance to Rao's, not only will he make you feel like part of the family, but he can provide you with all kinds of advice on Vegas.
- Bocce In Between: If you're lucky enough to get a table on the outside patio, you will be overlooking the pool, and you will be able to play some bocce ball during your meal!
Inside Knowledge: Rao's is understandably a very popular restaurant, and often tables are booked far in advance. Be sure to make reservations as early as possible, and if you can't get a table in the dining room, you can always try and show up and sit at one of the first-come-first-serve tables in the bar area.
We Recommend:
- The Meatballs: If you order these, they will probably the best meatball you've ever had—perfect consistency and perfect flavor.
- Lemon Chicken: This is probably Rao's most famous dish; experiencing the flavors of the Lemon Chicken should be one of the things on your bucket list.

Rao's Las Vegas Amazing
Amazing dinner. Got seated right away, even at 8pm on a Saturday night. We had the Fresh Fish alla Puttanesca and the Handkerchief Ravioli with a butter sauce and dried cranberries. Very unusual and delightful. (The ravioli was sprinkled with cinnamon) The portions were huge and were glad that we did not go with an appetizer. The prices are up there, but then again are all of the good restaurants in and around Vegas.

Average Italian, Rao's
I tried Rao’s for the first time on this trip to Vegas. The food is good, but not great Italian food. I am a huge caprese’ fan and the the buffalo mozzarella appetizer was excellent. The service was good but you have a personal space issue….this is not your restaurant…the waiters have a habit of sitting down at your table. The dessert was marginal, I ordered grappa it was the gasoline-harsh kind. Might not be back, too many other excellent places to eat in Las Vegas.

Rao's! Delish!
I had been to the Rao's in NYC and loved it, so I was so excited to hear there is one in Vegas! As I hoped....it was outstanding! You have to at least try the meatballs! The sauce that comes with the meat balls is fabulous. The service is very attentive and I so very much enjoyed my dinner here. Go and enjoy!
