Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Rao's, NYC's Most Exclusive Italian Restaurant...But Couldn't Get in to Ask | Bon Appétit

"Since 1896 the tiny Italian-American restaurant has been serving up family-style lemon chicken and seafood salad beneath strings of Christmas lights on a corner in East Harlem. But after New York Times food critic Mimi Sheraton gave it a three-star review in 1977, Rao's enacted a notoriously strict reservation system to preserve its devout community of regulars." - ByAliza Abarbanel
