The Evening at Rao's CD is a perfect musical dinner companion when trying out the great Italian recipes in the award-winning cookbook by the same title. I've sent them as gifts and used my copies to kick start hosting some fun dinner parties. Brings back great childhood memories of family gathered around the dinner table.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great mix! Romantic and nostalgic., August 16, 1999

I'm listening as I write:

This new purchase has been the musical backdrop for my weekend, and I think I'm in love! Too bad my favorite isn't offered as a sample for you to hear: Scapricciatiello by Renzo Abore. Very passionate!

This would be a good choice for anyone who likes great music and isn't afraid of trying something different. Kind of like American Graffiti Went to Italy Via Motown.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Don't Have To Be Italian, March 7, 2000

By 

Gene C. Paradiso (Tampa, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: An Evening at Rao's: Songs from An Italian Restaurant (Audio CD)

You don't have to be Italian to enjoy this CD. It is a delightful potpurri of artists that epitomize the those songs familiar to those who are aroung 50 years of age. This CD is sonically brilliant. I wonder what process was used to enhance these orginal cuts? Louie Prima's rendition of Just a Gigilo jumps out of the speakers, practically forcing you to grab a partner and begin dancing across the living room floor. I highly recommend this CD.
