We always love 'coming home' to RAO's. The atmosphere is festive and the juke box is amazing. We love our favs - meatball app, baked clam app and caesar salad with lots of anchovies. As for mains, don't miss the on the bone veal parm. It's huge and mighty delicious. Also shareable or to bring home for great leftovers. Our secret find on the after dinner menu drinks menu. The Tignanello blew us away (and the bartender was so kind to share it between us!) We'll be back really soon - a delightful evening to help top off the holiday season.
