For
the last 100+ years in East Harlem, a restaurant known for its notorious
clientele (and the fact it only seats 10) has been putting out some of the most
incredible & traditional Southern Neapolitan meals one could ever imagine
eating. And imaging eating their food is most likely what you would do, simply
because its nearly impossible for you to get a table there unless your name
holds weight in the streets or your willing to shell out a few thousand bucks
before you even sit down.
Last
year reports began to surface that the Pellegrino family were going to be
heading out West and we can proudly say those reports are true. Rao’s will in
fact be heading West and taking over the location that used to house The
Hollywood Canteen on Seward. As of now no one has been named Executive Chef,
but that won’t be for long we can only assume. Do yourself a favor and research
the original location in East Harlem, read about their celebrity customers who
more often than not, wouldn’t even tell you the place existed strictly because
they are a “tight knit community” of sorts.
If
you haven’t been able to read between the lines, Rao’s is infamous for serving
traditional dishes to some of the most legendary figures to ever emerge from
the Mafia.
