About Talents
Rao’s has created legendary experiences with simple, authentic Southern Italian cooking for over a century.
Rao's first opened its doors as a local saloon and 10-table restaurant in East Harlem, New York, in 1896. Its customers were city's residents who came by after work to spend time with friends and family while sharing great food and drink. After receiving three stars by then New York Times dining critic Mimi Sheridan, the restaurant enjoyed increased popularity and is now widely thought to be the toughest reservation to land in the United States.
Rao's has been covered by Travel + Leisure, USA Today, Conde Nast Traveler, Bon Appetit, Food & Wine, SAVEUR, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times; and featured on programs such as Good Morning America, TODAY, Fox & Friends, Throwdown with Bobby Flay, Top Chef All-Stars and The Best Thing I Ever Ate; and have written four critically acclaimed cookbooks Recipes from the Neighborhood, Over 100 Years of Italian Home Cooking, Rao's on the Grill, and Rao's Classics.
