Opening Night

Infamous East Harlem mob haunt Rao's hit Hollywood last night and The Hollywood Reporter stopped by to assess the Southern Italian restaurant's inaugural night: "By 8 p.m. on opening night the place was packed, except for the rear patio, which was treated as Siberia. Orders of classics, from linguine with clams to veal parmesan, emerged from the kitchen with no jitters ... Servers were in the full rhythmic swing of things too, as though the new Hollywood location had been operating for years." [THR]
