      <content>I know it has its detractors, but I've liked the oxtail at Versailles.  It's one of the very few items there for which I will pass on the roast pork.</content>

      <content>I 2nd Angelini. Coda alla vaccinara, it might be a daily special available only once a week, you should check. Takes you right to Testacio, Rome.

Cube has been serving a fresh pasta with oxtail ragu each of the last few times I have been there, as a special of the day, perhaps they will continue (or can be convinced to do so...).</content>

      <content>Il Fornaio has an oxtail ravioli on their appetizer list - didn't like it though since it seemed more fatty that meaty to me.
I also noticed that there is an oxtail ragu over spaetzle dish on Opus's menu.  I'm thinking of trying it this weekend.</content>

      <content>La Botte in Santa Monica serves the most amazing Oxtail Ravioli (I can't even begin to imagine all the work that goes into this dish). It was seriously the best I've ever had. However, their pheasant entree was horridly dry.</content>

      <content>The restaurant at the Chateau Marmont has a fantastic Oxtail Ravioli appetizer. It's got a good amount of braised meat inside, no cheese. 

Opus usually features something with oxtail; sometimes ravioli (which I've had). It is bursting with lovely oxtail juice.

      <content>If you want to try the Indonesian version, Ramayani in Westwood has oxtail soup. 
So does Simpang Asia on National Blvd in Palms (it might've been a seasonal special though).
Toko Rame in Bellflower also has it, and even fried and then put in soup :)

      <content>If youre looking for upscale oxtail theres a braised oxtail cheek at Gordon Ramseys that is really nice and tender. 
For a cheaper heartier fare, Korean restaurants have an oxtail soup thats boiled for hours and is nice and tender. You add green onions and a little salt to the broth and eat away!</content>

      <content>Versailles and most Cuban places have it.  Does anyone know what their secret ingredient  to their rabo is?  Some have said chocolate, some say ancho?  The version in Atwater's Baracoa Cuban cafe is OK sometimes if you're jonesing for oxtail.  </content>
