Frank Pellegrino, Jr. has been working for the family business, Rao’s, for nearly three decades, and he knows a thing or two about what makes a restaurant profitable.
What is it about Rao’s at Caesars Palace that makes it so great? Make customers happy, and serve great product.
Differences between Vegas and New York?
There really is no difference. New York City is a very vibrant city, just as Las Vegas is. What parallels Las Vegas to New York City is the variety and caliber of the restaurants in town.
Describe the Rao’s brand.
The restaurant embraces you. It’s homestyle.
What’s the one must-have entrée at Rao’s?
There’s no question: Veal chop with cherry peppers, hot and sweet.
Who’s the typical Rao’s customer?
Like in New York City, Rao’s Las Vegas has a wonderfully eclectic group of people who come in on a regular basis. Our clientele has really become part of the family.
If you had a Rao’s television show, what would it be called?
Your Place. People make it their own.
