5 out of 5 stars Great Memories.......2003-04-27

I bought Raos wonderful cookbook and cound not resist the CD.The songs are wonderful, full of manny manny menories.
I now have purchased one for my car, and several for gifts. Everyone who has received the "Evening at Raos" agrees with me, it is one of their all time favorites.....Thank you Artists and Raos"

5 out of 5 stars The Old Neighborhood.......2002-07-16

Down in the dumps?? Feeling blue? Miss the old crew?
Order AN EVENING AT RAOS to brighten up your night.
It'll bring you back to the block. Back in the 50's,
early sixties.Pigeon coops, Candy store,ices,open hydrants, stickball and stoop ball.
Mt Carmel Feast with the smell of sauasage and peppers
cooked outdoors by Mr Rao himself.
Remember the music coming from the jukebox? Tony Bennet,
the Platters, Dean Martin?
Talk about a TREASURE. There is a cut of Dion singing
"Sunday Kind of Love" rarely heard. Talk about harmony
Eyy fahgeddahboudit!!
Great Selection of music, no music lover should be without.
Don't be a 'mook'(dummy-for the benefit of non Ital-Am)
get a copy today.
In addition, get a copy of the "Rao's Cookbook" written by
Frank Pellegrino himself. Good recipies? Ey, don't
get me started. I'll be here forever.
Combine them both and you will truely have AN EVENING AT RAOS.

5 out of 5 stars You Don't Have To Be Italian.......2000-03-07

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.

4 out of 5 stars A Musical Feast.......2000-01-05

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 out of 5 stars A great mix! Romantic and nostalgic........1999-08-16

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.
