Russo Italian Restaurant

Decor is very nice and appealing. Lovely Italian restaurant on water street. However, the food was just alright. I was a bit disappointed by the Bolognese as it was too salty. The bread and calamari were the only great dishes. There is a weekday special of rigatoni with meatballs and that was also just decent. Meatballs were too soft and had an different texture. Unfortunately, the coke was also flat, not sure what’s going on there.

Excellent lil place in Worcester for a great meal either romantic with your love or sharing the evening with friends and family. The Gnocchi was so full of flavor and light as air with a decadent sauce. The meat lasagne beautifully presented and tasted like home. Attentive wait staff with wonderful food and drink. Looking forward to my next trip as well as Sunday dinner there with the family!

My wife and I have been to Russo's many times. We usually sit at the bar. The ambiance inside is very pleasing and eclectic (albeit truly Italian)! The food has been consistently great! Also, I am a big pasta "fan" and appreciate the fact that their pasta selection is entirely homemade and delicious! When we have dinned with friends in their 2 uniquely charming dinning areas, the service has always been good. However, our favorite server is Erin (the bartender)). She is excellent and very personable! As a result, we almost always dine at the bar. I highly recommend Russo's to people who enjoy authentic Italian food, good service and a "feeling" that your dinning in the North End of Boston.

We came in on a weekend night and had a party of 7. Our server was excellent and so was the food. My son accidentally hit his glass off the table and it shattered everywhere. The staff was so kind to him and made light of the mess. I give this restaurant 5 stars on its own due to its welcoming atmosphere and extremely professional and kind staff. The food only adds to it! Well done, Russo’s. You’re my new favorite Italian spot ❤️

Our first time ordering from Russo's. 2 orders of lasagne, the restaurant called back and said the plate for the sheet noodles was broken, the chef could make a dish with all the same ingredients but no lasagne noodles. My husband arrived at the designated time for pick up and had to wait an additional 1/2 hour to pick up our food. The dish was okay tasting but in my opinion overpriced for such simple ingredients. Also the description listed sausage/meatball. If either of those were included they were ground to oblivion and nowhere to be seen. We ended up with flat triangular shaped noodles ( we let the chef pick the alternate noodle). There is a lot up the street for parking, it is meter fed and a short walk. Russo's is pretty pricy and that night the service was not great.

We had a family and friend gathering buffet. Russo's is quite the interesting environment; it's cozy with enough room to comfortably socialize which suited our needs.Buffet was well prepared, nice cheese board, very tasty entrees and salads, great desserts, helpful staff, personable bartenders! Would be happy to go there again!!!
