I took my father here for his 75th birthday and we had a great dinner. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant and classy. The food was excellent. The breadsticks we ordered for an appetizer were fresh and fluffy, and the Gnocchi Alla Russo was bright and rich. If you enjoy Italian cuisine, I'd definitely recommend Russo for a nice experience.

My husband and I always wanted to try this place since we live so close and we wanted to try it for the first time on our anniversary. Unfortunately our experience there was a bit underwhelming. Our appetizer came and dropped on our table with no plates or silverware; beverages came in late and nobody check on us until later when our main course arrived. The Chicken Marsala was not seasoned with anything, the sauce was so light and flavorless, the pasta over cooked. A little salt would have saved the dish. We asked for Parmesan and a wine list which never arrived. The Mercato attached to the restaurant is really lovely with a nice variety of wines, pasta, meats and cheeses. We will be back for the market but likely not for dining.

Upon entry and being brought to our table in the restaurant, we noticed that all tables had a bottle of wine placed on the middle of each table.
We knew we were at a classy establishment.
We started with brushetta.
It was very tasty, and there were five portions on our serving plate.
I had lasagna, and my wife had the spaghetti with meat balls for our main courses.
The portions were more than generous.
We had both enjoyed our meals.
We took home, the leftovers ?.
On the other side of the restaurant, there was an area which held many, many bottles of wine to buy.
Plus, I believe there was a deli counter where you could get I believe were additional delicacies. I didn't take a closer look.
Both servers, Autumn and Journie (I hope I spelled her name correctly) were wonderful ? ?
If we decide to venture back to Grand Rapids, Michigan, we will return here for lunch.
Thank you Russo's!!??

Ate here last week with my wife. We had a gift card burning a hole in our pocket since Christmas.

Nice traditional looking Italian atmosphere. We had the arancini appetizer, wife had a margherita pizza with extra basil, and I had the chicken parmesan. Both meals came with bread and dipping oil. So glad we tried this place. The food and service were fantastic I can't wait to return for more arancini. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed. Also took a minute to check out the store next door. Nice selection of wines, cheeses, meats, pastas...etc. Definitely will be back to purchase a couple of items in the future.

The service was amazing and so was the Bruschetta and House made Sangria. The only downside were the two old ladies complaining about them not having pineapple or brewed ice tea. The bartender Becca was super sweet and amazing.

Finally made it to this new location after missing the 29th Street location for so long. Really enjoyed the food, black sail drink, atmosphere, service, and the shop. They had many options to accommodate my dates gluten preference (waitress knew the roux was made with corn starch). Bought so many things I've missed from the shop, pistachio mortadella, rosemary ham, lemon biscotti, cheese tortellini, and wine.

We eat out a lot and have very high expectations for a 5 star review. The food and service were both outstanding. We both had spaghetti, salad and bread sticks. All I can say is yum, yum and double yum. Service was excellent and food was so hot and fresh you had to blow on it.

Had a wonderful lunch there Friday. So planning to go back with friends for dinner Monday night. Met owner and he told us that they used to have the Russo's Market on 29th street on east side in Kentwood. That place was an institution for many years offering fantastic food and wine. Combination restaurant and market is new here in Tanger. Food and service was exceptional.
