" An absolute hidden gem! We wandered into Russo's and the authentic Italian atmosphere was immediately welcoming. The service was prompt and friendly, and the pasta that I ordered was some of the best I've tasted outside of Italy. The tiramisu for dessert was fluffy and not too sweet—simply delicious! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine Italian meal. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing a lot about Russo's, I finally decided to stop by. The decor really brings you to Italy, and the ambiance sets the mood for a great meal. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as I had anticipated. My chicken marsala was overcooked, and the sauce lacked seasoning, which was disappointing. The service seemed a bit overwhelmed, and it took a while to get our drinks. I might give it another chance because I really want to try the homemade pasta everyone talks about. " (*Curated Review*)

" Potentially my new favorite Italian spot! The vibe is totally chill, reminiscent of a small family-owned restaurant in Italy. We shared a few different dishes including the rigatoni and shrimp scampi, both of which were excellent in flavor and generous in portion. The staff was incredibly friendly; they made sure we had everything we needed and even offered wine pairings that were spot on. I can't wait to bring my friends here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I hosted a small gathering at Russo's and was ecstatic to see how everyone loved the food! They made accommodations for my dietary restrictions and ensured that my experience was amazing from start to finish. Everyone was raving about how fresh the ingredients tasted, especially in the pesto pasta. It made for a memorable evening, and our server was very nice too! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful restaurant for a cozy dinner! The atmosphere is quaint and inviting, perfectly set up for intimate dinners or family gatherings. Our server was lovely and knew the menu inside out, making great recommendations. The shrimp fra diavolo I ordered was delicious with just the right amount of spice. I truly appreciated the attention to detail throughout the meal, and I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family's go-to for Italian food. Every time we've visited Russo's, the food has been outstanding and the family-friendly environment tops it off. I always order the chicken parmesan, and it never disappoints—it's crispy, with a rich tomato sauce, and served with a side of vegetables. The portions are generous and the pricing is very reasonable. On top of that, the staff is always welcoming. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I hosted my daughter's birthday party here, and they did a fantastic job! The staff helped us customize the menu and made sure every child had a great meal. The homemade pasta with marinara was a huge hit! I was impressed by how courteous and attentive our server was throughout the evening. It was a comfortable environment, and I would recommend for family gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)
