Rao’s Made For Home Meat Lasagna (The Fresh Market- Boca Raton)

Posted on October 15th, 2020 · Boca Raton Fast Food Italian

Rao’s Made For Home Meat Lasagna.

Real short tale…

Yesterday- “tried” 2- 9oz packages of frozen Rao’s Made For Home Meat Lasagna from The Fresh Market, 5540 North Military Trail, Boca Raton, Florida 33496, (561) 994-2221 on-sale for $3.99 (normally $5.99). Oven baked one, microwaved the other – and all I can say, LOUSY!- the meat lasagna had absolutely no taste whatsoever! Trust me on this one, my tastebuds were/are just fine and the pasta/meat/sauce/cheese combination literally had no taste- not to mention that the pasta had the consistency of a big old rubber band!


Now, you guys and Jeff Eats both know that this-food reviewing gig is purely a subjective call. With that in mind, you guys who “doubt” Jeff Eats’ opinion and/or like to waste their money- a quick internet search will provide a ton of retailers (in addition to The Fresh Market) like Walmart, Target, Publix, Costco, Amazon that carry Rao’s Made For Home Meat Lasagna.

    Jeff,
    As I’m sure you know, Rao’s is one of the most famous italian restaurants in America. Located in Harlem, it is literally impossible to get a reservation to eat there.

    In addition to the restaurant the company has a full line of sauces etc for sale online as well as in retail store outlets.

    I’ve eaten in the physical store twice and the food is just average at best. I really can’t explain its allure but what is, is.

    I’ve tried a handful of its frozen dishes including the lasagna you had and they weren’t very good.

  2. Lori Esposito says...

    I have not tried the lasagna. I have eaten Rao’s meatballs and sauce and it wasn’t all that good.

  3. HerbK says...

    The only frozen lasagna that I have found to be decent is from Michael Angelo’s. I actually enjoy eating it

      HerbK,
      I’m with you. Michael Angelo’s is delicious.

      Ive had Rao’s and it was borderline disgusting.

  4. Giganti says...

    Its meatballs with sauce is even worse than its lasagna. This brand is absolute garbage.

  5. Skeeter Niles says...

    Their chicken parm is bad news.

    Got mine at Publix.

  6. Veronica Rubino says...

    $5.99 regular price is absurdly expensive.

  7. JHD says...

    Many years ago my wife and I ate at Rao’s. Simply put, your favorite Florida pizza joint probably makes better food.

  8. June Heller says...

    I buy Rao’s Marinara Sauce at Costco and really liked it.

    Jeff,
    A few months ago I tried Rao’s penne ala vodka and wasn’t too impressed. Very bland taste and the pasta when microwaved was rubbery.

    • Bosco The Clown says...

      Ive had both the lasagna and penne ala vodka and the lasagna is just as bad as Jeff described it. I thought that the penne was pretty good.

    June Heller is onto something. Rao’s sauces are better than most other jarred varieties.
