Russo's NY Italian Kitchen and Pizzeria - SPI

This was pretty good NY style pizza. We got the vegetarian with no cheese and it came with a generous topping of veggies, including fresh mushrooms and whole garlic cloves. Tasty sauce and nicely done crust.

Very good food, very good service, Estephan, our server was great! I had the chicken Alfredo, my husband had the stromboli, very good! We will be back! Tomorrow is our 42nd anniversary, just stopped here, first time, will come back!

The stromboli tasted good but the one star is that the bottom was uncooked raw dough.and it only had maybe 6 little crumbles of sausage. I don't mind paying premium prices. But They need to make it worth it. I probably won't go back. I'll go to Gabriellas up the street .

Chicken Parm was something you could find in a High School cafeteria. Generic, reheated "cutlet" with a few slices of cold-cut style mozzarella draped over it, partially melted and an average marinara at best. Spaghetti and Meatballs should have been called "Spaghetti and Meat Flavored Bread Balls". I can say with confidence that the meatballs are half bread filler. Same, average sauce.

Pros;
The Pistachio Pesto Chicken Pasta was excellent. As was the oil, herb dressing to go with the very good starter bread/toast. They do not skimp on the herbs. Great stuff.

I do not believe the claim that the family is from Brooklyn as the food is Camden, NJ quality at best. Russos is a poor man's Gabriellas with Gabriellas pricing. Service was excellent and attentive. This was a one star meal with the exception of the pesto pasta, staff and table bread. Those things took it to a two star rating. Maybe their pizza is good? The pasta is meh at best and would greatly pail to anything you can make at home with little effort.

Amazing service, friendly and attentive staff. A great experience through and through. Keep it up y'all !

This restaurant is a must go when visiting SPI! I highly recommend this restaurant due to the staff who work here and because of the delicious food! Everyone who works here seems like they enjoy it! I was fretted as soon as I entered the restaurant! Management is really on top of their stuff with the way they have things running!

The food was amazing and the service was top notch! Walked in on a Saturday night with 5.5 people and got seated within 10 minutes. The parking is small because it's shared but if you get lucky the food was sooo good. Our little had spaghetti and she said it was "yummy". The table split the calamari and fried mozzarella sticks, then each had chicken parmesan (X3), chicken alfredo, and the chicken carbonara. My husband got the carbonara, and while my chicken parmesan was delicious, I kept sneaking my fork onto his plate and getting fussed at. It was absolutely delicious and the portions were huge. So glad we decided to brave the parking lot!

My husband and I went to have dinner here after spending the day at the beach. As soon as we walked in we received a warm greeting by the hostess. Our waiter Esteban was superb. He was very friendly and was very attentive to our needs. We ordered mozzarella cheese sticks for an appetizer and pizza for our meal. They were both delicious. We are looking forward to going back next time we are in South Padre Island!

Parking: We found a parking spot right in front and there was plenty of parking.
