So I had lunch at Rao’s yesterday. I know what you’re thinking. ‘Wow! You have a table at Rao’s?’ Followed by, ‘Wait a minute – Rao’s isn’t open for lunch.’ Indeed. It was a special luncheon to announce Rao’s opening in Caesars Palace this December in Las Vegas. What you need to know is…
Frankie Pellegrino Jr. will be in-house and his wife Carla Pellegrino will be in the kitchen as Executive Chef. (Based on the four hour 16-course meal I had, she seems to know her way around the penne.) There will be an outdoor bocce court. The restaurant is 10,000 square feet and has a brand new reservation book, which means you’ll be able to get a table, although Frank Sr. did mention that people in NY and Vegas have already started asking for regular tables. Get in while you can.
