About this business

Since 1896, the Rao family has served traditional Neapolitan dishes to diners in the area of East Harlem. Its tucked cozily on the corner of Pleasant Avenue and 114th St., pegged right against the East River and Jefferson Park, but even if you made the trip up here, it wouldn't be worth it because once you arrive your chances of getting a table are miniscule to none.

Dropped by Rao’s on a whim — you know, as one does. Despite the fact it’s famously impossible to get a table unless your great-grandfather once fixed jukeboxes with Frank Sinatra, the owners instantly relocated a table of six retired wiseguys in smoked sunglasses to make room for me. Had the veal, the meatballs, a little wine. Service was celestial, owners charming. Honestly, shocking they don’t just hand out keys to strangers at the door.
