Correct. That's how the sauce is pronounced. Rao that rhymes with "chow" is a South Indian surname. |

| Wow, if anyone has read The Lincoln Highway, the restaurant in the video is like the one Duchess describes in NY. |

| I’ve eaten in the restaurant a dozen times (my friend owns a table) its Ray O’s |

| I am so surprised. I am Italian and in Italy the last name Rao would be pronounced Rao rhyming with chow. Very often Italian last names pronunciation is completely mutated in Italian American families immigrated generations ago |

That is correct, it’s how Michael Imperioli pronounces it and he knows the guy and eats there all the time. As heard on his Sopranos podcast. |
