Russo's Neighborhood Ristorante & Bar

Our favorite Italian place! For these of you who love Italian food this place can be a wonderful discovery. We ( my husband and I) are very spoiled with great Beverly Hills Italian restaurants, but this place - this local Italian spot - would be invariably our first choice if we are in the mood for Italian romantic diner. There is some very special ambiance here, combination of chick, simplicity and authenticity... little candles on the tables... Italian music on the background ... nice decorations... It's like a piece of Italy in the middle of busy California. I can tell you just one thing - the fettuccine Alfredo ( chicken) here is the best, absolutely the best in the world! And the vine collection (although is not huge) is absolutely exquisite. Very romantic and very friendly place. Thank you!

Food was outstanding. The service was first rate. The restaurant was spotless. Highly recommend this place for a wonderful Italian meal.

Great place for date night or family dinner. Prices are reasonable, staff is helpful, bread and oil is the best in town. I've had dishes i really enjoyed and some that I wouldn't eat again. My biggest fix would be all the extra cheese added to the dishes and the ceiling needs repair from a past leak.

Wine glasses were not clean...food was OK....not great. Bread was very good. Did not care for desert's.... Service was very good. Prices were very good...had Dine Long Beach special..Went with wife and friend.... Friend indicated would come again but would not order her entree again.

I don't live in the area, and was invited by my Father and his wife to celebrate my Birthday. All around, I was impressed. The atmosphere, food, and customer service were simply outstanding.

I had a pizza, by recommendation by our waitress and that I have never had before, and it was simply superb. The drinks were made on point. The waitress was friendly and always made sure we were taken care of with a smile.

it's got that neighborhood feel, atmosphere, and look with a touch of elegance about it. It's simple Italian ingredients to really make for flavorful and enjoyable meals.

If you're in the area, then you have to stop in for dinner!
