Welcome to Baldoria. This Theater District outpost of the legendary Rao’s in East Harlem is owned by Frank Pellegrino Jr., whose family has operated Rao’s since 1896.

Baldoria is chic, urban neighborhood hideout perfect for dates, a quick bite, or a casual dinner with old friends. Baldoria delivers hearty, innovative and skillfully prepared dishes from the first course to the last.

We take pride in our great steaks, Neapolitan homestyle cuisine, special northern Itlian delicacies, and classes southern Italian favorites.

Upstairs, one of New York City’s greatest raw bars serves up oysters from Maine, British Columbia, California, Washington State, Virginia and Rhode Island as well as clams, mussels, lobster and crab meat.

Our Wurlitizers play opera and contemporary Italian music.

Baldoriamo in Italian means “Let’s Party!” We offer live music with the very best in pop and swing from Italy and the US starting at 9:00pm on Thursday through Saturday. And our upstairs and downstairs bars sport genuine Wurlitizer jukeboxes with lots of opera and Italian contemporary music.
