Rao's Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
This was my 3rd trip to Rao's in Los Angeles.
We had a large party, celebrating a graduation. The ambiance was perfect for us, the busy restaurant did not diminish our ability to hold conversations across a round table. The service was terrific, we had enough time to enjoy each course and the entrees appeared fast enough that there was no lull in the conversation. Of course the food was outlandish. The meatball appetizers and the mozzarella with peppers were delicious. Our entrees were spectacular and wine selections were wonderful. I try to visit LA once a year and my annual trip to Rao's is my favorite experience. The Rao's in Miami Beach is equally wonderful, but a little different atmosphere. Both are tops on my list.
Was here for a friend's birthday and really liked the cozy
Was here for a friend's birthday and really liked the cozy interiors. Friendly staff too and yummy food.
Came here for a friend's birthday.
Really great Italian food. Service here was solid and staff here was very accommodating. Iiked how in addition to bread for appetizers they had large cheese crisps as well that you could dip olive oil & vinegar in Also, word is this place is a staple in Hollywood and you get old famous people poppin by here
A throwback to a very special meal.
Where restaurants felt like a neighborhood place. Rao's is (apparently) legendary for their spaghetti sauce. Having been in the game since 1896. I had a wonderful time relaxing in its atmosphere. The place is larger from the inside than it looks on the outside. I got the linguini and clams and WOW was it packed with clams (leftovers today). Also got the stuffed mushrooms. It was flavorful without being bulky. Bread on table and history on the walls. I'm so glad this place exists. The service was incredible, though sometimes a little overdoing things. It's not a complaint but they switch out forks when they think it's been overused. As a street urchin myself, I am perfectly happy with the fork I'd already been assigned. Though, I will say...that service makes you feel REALLY special. And it made my night even more special with someone who also appreciated the service. Well done all!
Never heard of the place until about 6 months ago.
Now that cd been there 4-5 times. Great atmosphere and service was terrific. Has jumped right to the forefront of my favorite Italian restaurants in LA. Maybe my absolute favorite.
Old school NY restaurant from Harlem, red sauce joint.
So I've eaten at their location that they had At Cesar's Palace, but this location is in West Hollywood. On a side street off of Santa Monica Blvd. I love this location outside or inside it's a hip place. So you walk in and you might be welcomed by Jonny Roast beef, no joke . You'll feel like you're in an episode of the Sopranos forgotaboutit ! Ok we started with peas with prosciutto and the meat ball Mommy Mia and a salad. I had the chicken parmigiana and of course it was great I also had the fingerling potatoes , someone had the pasta with Bolognese, I saw someone eating a steak. Ok dessert time of course you're going to get tiramisu so yummy and we got the vanilla and chocolate ice cream balls dipped in chocolate with Cherrys omg ! Service is fine and the decor inside as well as the patio is really something to see. You'll definitely enjoy.
I loved everything about this place! Stuffed mushrooms were
I loved everything about this place! Stuffed mushrooms were the most memorable. They also serve you complimentary bread and my main entree was the shrimp scamp, followed by an ice cream scoop to end the night. Service was the most impeccable I've had in years from the server, to the Italian gentleman walking around checking in on every table in the restaurant! The ambiance is very laid back and relax great for group dinners. I understand why they are popular and have many reviews.
I was looking for a spot to grab dinner last minute and saw
I was looking for a spot to grab dinner last minute and saw that Raos had plenty reservations so Italian it is!!! My rez was for 6:30 but we arrived a few minutes early and got seated right away. The restaurant itself wasn't huge but it did seem to have a fair amount of seating and honestly I think it works well for the ambiance. My server Jerry was awesome and extremely attentive from the jump. We asked for recommendations regarding apps and entrees. For starters we went with Frito Misto and a single meatball. The meatball was solid but I really enjoyed the marinara. The frito misto was delicious and portion wise it was enough for 3 people. For entree I went with Chicken Parmesan and ahglio de olio. The chicken Parmesan was good not great but the noodles were perfect. An all around great dining experience and extremely viable option for Italian food lovers not living in the northeast tri state area. I'm ashamed that it took me this long to try Raos but I can assure you they haven't seen the last of me.
Everything was amazing! Food and drinks were top notch.
Servers were very attentive and fast. I was surprised (in a good way) to find out the price was very reasonable for a fancy Italian restaurant like this. Would come back.
2.5 stars. Ambiance was great, drinks were good but
2.5 stars. Ambiance was great, drinks were good but expensive AF; food not so good at all...got the eggplant parm and ragu. $15 to valet + tip; wouldn't go back but the place was hopping.
Absolutely amazing restaurant.
To start the hostess was so welcoming and I asked for a different booth and she was so nice and cool about it. Changed our booth and kept it open for as long as we needed at the bar. Bar tender Catherine was awesome with making us the drinks we wanted and our waiter Kevin was awesome. Great old school Italian restaurant with amazing food!
Meatball appetizer is the best ! I highly recommend
Meatball appetizer is the best ! I highly recommend ordering that everything else is very good. The linguine with clams is good but not where I would crave it again type of dish. Milanese salad was good. Tiramisu was good but not as good as mama Osteria. Ambience is old school Italian vibe. It's a fun place. The food is good. Next time. I would just try some different dishes as well.
5 Stars .
...: Thank you everyone on staff our night. Being a chain restaurant my expectations were not that high. We had so much fun. What a great place/ Our food was delicious as we expected but our service was wonderfully old fashioned. Our pre dinner cocktails were excellent! Our server Kevin was spot on and gave us full attention. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and we had many questions. The manager Johnny aka #Jhonnyroastbeef!!! had a great personality .He was checking in on all the tables Veriy involved as a manager.. After talking to him i felt like i was slammed right in the middle of Harlem. This was my girlfriend's 50th Birthday. A memorable dining experience. i've dined at many Michelin Star restaurants . Our service deserves that rating. Thank you we all will be back

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
