When we walked into Rao’s Miami in the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, the newest outpost of the 127 year old iconic Italian restaurant founded in New York, I smelled Italian comfort food. Then I saw the bright red and rich wood décor with historic photos adorning the walls,  and the patrons’ contented faces, many of small groups of friends or business associates enjoying their southern Neopolitan cuisine. Yes, I thought, no wonder co-owner Ron Straci says Rao’s is where every night feels like a Sunday dinner.
