Russo's, a 100+ year old Italian establishment in East Village, offers massive sandwiches with homemade mozzarella and pesto. The store 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. The restaurant is known for its great authentic Italian pasta and incredible vodka sauce. While prices are high, many feel they are justified by the quality and authenticity. The counter service can be a bit gruff, but the overall experience remains genuine. 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.
