Russo's, a 100+ year old Italian establishment in East Village, offers massive sandwiches with homemade mozzarella and pesto. This small shop takes visitors back to the good old days with fresh deli meats, homemade pastas, cheeses, and the famous lard prosciutto bread. The food is highly praised for its authentic flavors, especially the best mozzarella cheese, amazing bread, and delicious rice balls, olives, stuffed artichokes, and meatballs. While the restaurant is known for its great authentic Italian pasta and incredible vodka sauce, there are mixed feelings about the chicken cutlets, which many find disappointing. Prices are often hard to see, and while some meals can be pricey, many feel the quality and authenticity justify the cost. The counter service can be a bit gruff, and a friendlier approach would enhance the experience. This 300 square foot gem is a true time capsule, perfect for anyone craving traditional Italian flavors. Visitors often pick up Italian hero sandwiches, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and other imported goods, making it a popular neighborhood spot for those seeking a taste of Italy. On nice days, guests can enjoy their sandwiches in nearby Tompkins Square Park, as there is no indoor seating.
