Rao's, the hundred-year-old restaurant with a mere ten
tables tucked in a corner of East Harlem in what was once
a legendary Italian
neighborhood, is one of the most
sought-after restaurants in all of Manhattan. Its tables are
booked months
in advance by regulars who go to enjoy
what The New York Times calls its "exquisitely simple
Italian cooking" from traditional recipes,
many as old
as Rao's itself. You may not get a table at Rao's, but now
with this book you can prepare the best Italian home-style
food in the
world in your own kitchen. Here for the
first time are recipes for all of Rao's fabulous
classics--its famous marinara sauce, seafood salad,
roasted peppers with pine nuts and raisins, baked clams,
lemon chicken, chicken scarpariello, and on and on.
The
recipes are accompanied by photographs that re-create Rao's
magic and testimonials from loyal Rao's fans--
from Woody
Allen to Beverly Sills. Here too is a brief history of the
restaurant by Nicholas Pileggi and a Preface by Dick Schaap.
Both will convince you that what you have in your hands
is a national treasure, a piece of history, and a collection
of the best Italian
American recipes you will ever find.
