Service was awful. Air temperature was freezing. The main course took over an hour to be served. The hamburger finally arrived but was thoroughly burned. The waitress stated that she couldn't remove any items from the bill. I've been a customer of this restaurant since the early 80s but won't be returning anytime soon. Needless to say, I can no longer recommend it.

I love the old-timey neighborhood bar atmosphere. A great place for a beer and a shot, and some good pub food.
Parking: Parking is right next to the building. Very easy and convenient.

Food is excellent! I enjoyed it thoroughly. The service, however, was very unwelcoming and slow. I waited for at least 7 to 10 minutes at the bar before even being acknowledged. That was the one and only time the bartender visited.
It was moderately busy Friday evening so I can be forgiving. I'll try them again.
Dietary restrictions: My friend had the delicious gluten-free ravioli. She raved about it.

Great old school Italian joint. As a lover of carbs, I can't recommend their fresh baked bread enough.
I have had Russos a few times and I feel like they are steadily declining in their quality food while raising their prices more and more.
A few main issues here:
A “medium pizza” and a side of blue cheese half full - 20 dollars. The pizza had a nice sauce but unfortunately was small and doughy. The blue cheese costed 2 dollars for a half full container.
Next, comes the burger with nothing on it and a side of fries for almost 20 dollars. The burger was decent but the fries were soggy and flavorless. We had to salt our own fries and put them in the air-fryer.
These are things that you would not expect from an historic Italian restaurant like Russos.
Third, when you call and order they do not tell you that charge a 3 percent fee for using a debit card. When you are paying 41 dollars that feels a bit like a slap in the face.
I will say that the atmosphere is nice and so are the people, but the food is what made me fall in love with Russos all of those years ago.
If they are going to charge the prices that they do they need to have higher standards for quality.
Other restaurants like Lorenzo’s and Boscos in Amsterdam are charging less while also giving more.
For whoever is reading please look at my pictures and be the judge and if I am being out of line please tell me.
Thank you

We stopped in from out of town when we met up with family. Our server was very nice and friendly. There was no one else there at the noon hour when we arrived. The interior was dark and the food was mediocre. They have giant slices of fresh bread pre-buttered before the meal. 3 out of 4 of us had sandwiches which were made with same style bread. My husband is Sicilian and loves eggplant parm, so he got that sandwich. He was disappointed. The eggplant was dry and overcooked with almost no sauce on his sandwich. We got an order of fries with gravy which is one of my favorites. There wasn't much gravy and it needed seasoning. The greens and beans were ok. We did have some pumpkin cheesecake which was very yummy. I'm not sure what their specialties are or what they are known for, but we missed the mark when we ordered our lunches.

Just had the most expensive pizza ever. Pizza slices were about half to a third of what you get from anywhere else. $105 (2) 12 cut pizza, 1 was an Irish Pizza, the other a meat pizza with 4 toppings and a 2 person antipasto salad. Now when you order online it does show that price however wow did we get a sticker shock because we order over the phone. I mean if it were normal size slices or maybe even if it was out of this world. In comparison when we order this at other places we spend $60 -> $80.

Stopped off the interstate for lunch. It was delicious. Best eggplant Parmesan my husband has ever had. And the lasagna was amazing too. I can’t recommend it enough!
Also, Thanks to John for buying our meal!
