Absolutely loved our dinner at Rao's in Caesars Palace.  Probably some of the best Italian food I have enjoyed in awhile and I cannot wait to return to try more of the menu items.  Loved the feel of the place and food.  From the very start I liked this place.  The bread basket was delicious and served with three butters; Garlic, Regular and the best darn Pimento Butter I have ever tasted.  I asked the waitress for a bowl of it and she said she could not bring a bowl but did bring about a dozen of the little squares of butter to the table.  This stuff is so good.  I could eat the Pimento Butter and the bread and be happy.  I am telling you it is good!   The Calamari dish was a bit bland even with a little Marinara Sauce.  Don't think our table of four ate much of this.  We did however devour the Rao's Traditional Meatballs.  These babies were large, moist and flavorful.  Even better with lots of Marinara Sauce.  One Meatball is enough for one person as an appetizer.  I was getting full after all the Bread, Pimento Butter and Meatball.  The Antipasto was really good with nice cuts of Meats, Mozzarella, Red Peppers and Tomato.  The Baked Clams had too much bread crumbs and you really could not taste the flavor of the Clams.  Would not order these again.  Loved the Veal Picatta with Linguine.  Cannot imagine eating this dish with the Mashed Potatoes which is standard.  The perfectly cooked pasta was delicious with the Veal.  Great dish.  Loved the Lasagna and Rigatoni too.  Seems like everything that was placed on the table was delicious.  I wanted to eat so much more but got so full that I could not take another bite.  Rao's probably one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to on the mainland and there is nothing like it in Hawaii.  Guess I must go back to Las Vegas soon.
