the mussels were exquisitely cooked, and big! Loved the romaine and pear and cheese salad, with candied walnuts for dessert! Highly recommend Russel's place, been going for years..
July 2025
Food: best chicken parm and handmade pasta I’ve ever had. I substituted pappardelle for penne and Arabiatta for Alfredo.
Salads were excellent as were the charcuterie options.
Service: we sat at the bar and loved hanging out with Jessica, the bartender.
Atmosphere: great vibe, music and bar seating
Highly recommend

Very chill atmosphere, friendly servers, and great food. I ordered the Frutti De Mare. It had great flavor and a bit of heat on the back end I loved. The sea food was just a hair overdone but considering we are nowhere near an ocean I can't complain too much. I would definitely go back.
