Rao's Miami Beach

Italian restaurant · Art Deco Historic District

@infatuation

"Rao's is a true NYC classic, but its Miami location feels more like a conference room that will host the American Dental Association next week. They are trying their best with the space. It has a Rat Pack-y soundtrack, autographed photos of celebrities, and more green and red velvet than a Christmas tree skirt. The restaurant serves Italian-American food that tastes like it was made in someone's kitchen—not a professional kitchen. And while a few dishes like the seafood salad and fiocchetti with pears and ricotta stand out, you may get an overcooked steak too. If you just want to enjoy the atmosphere, say you’ve been, and shove it in all of your New York friends’ faces, it's worth going (but not returning to). " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
