Worth the drive!

We decided to dine at Russo‘s last night even though it is 15 miles out of the way and we’re glad we did! We enjoyed the spaghetti with Italian sausage and the lasagna was excellent! And of course the garlic bread

Great Food

Our server, Brittany, was prompt in greeting us and taking our order. We ordered our usual, Calzones (our way) and the antipasto salad. Both were delicious! As always it was worth the 30 mile drive! You will enjoy the quaint Italian theme also. Enjoy

Great Food!

We decided on Russo‘s because they are one of the best restaurants in the area and they are open for inside dining. Lots of choices and generous portions! I recommend this place for a great dining experience.

Anniversary Dinner

We celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary with Russo's fine dining - we used take-out due to the Covid-19 issue, but thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, nonetheless. Ordered ahead, drove to Russo's, dinner was ready and brought it home to enjoy.

Well worth the drive

Quick, friendly service. Brittany always cheerful! The Antipasto salad with the house Italian red dressing was delicious as usual and the Cazone, made our way, was humongous and delicious as well! Well worth the 30 mile drive!
