It specializes in Southern Italian cuisine and has developed the Rao's Homemade line of prepared sauces for private homes nationwide.

The sauces are crafted from natural ingredients like Italian tomatoes, olive oil, vegetables, and basil, slowly simmered to balanced flavors. The Rao family has roots in New York dating to 1896, when Charles Rao started a small saloon, and the modern Rao's Specialty Foods was formed in 1992, remaining family‑owned. The company operates within the food and beverage manufacturing sector and maintains a longstanding manufacturing partnership with La Regina Srl of Scafati, Italy, to produce its tomato‑based sauces. Its emphasis on high‑quality Italian pantry items targets households seeking premium flavors.
