Had a reservation at 6:15 on a Saturday for a birthday celebration. There was a huge line - We were…read morethankfully seated quickly due to our reservation. However, I couldn't help to notice how jam packed the dining room was and how loud it was. Tables are very close together and it was a bit hard to hear during the dinner rush. Our server brought us a birthday cannoli, which was great, but then immediately asked us if we were all set for the bills RIGHT as we took our first bite of the cannoli - seemed very rushed and a bit rude. On a positive note, the Carbonara was exactly what I had hoped for! It was creamy and full of flavor. The portion size was great too - I was hoping I had some to take home, but ended up eating it all because it was so delicious!! I felt very satisfied with my meal and the menu options.

Friday night for my second birthday dinner with Dad and Leo's was amazing! I had been here before,…read morenew to my father. We walk in and the hostess greeted us and asked if we had a reservation, if not we could sit at the bar and order dinner there. Not having a reservation, we found some open seats at the bar. The two bartenders were tag teaming serving us and everyone at the bar. Both of them were very attentive in taking our drink and food orders. I asked if they had any 'mocktails' and the brunette bartender showed me the section labeled, "The Dry Bar". I went with the Very Cherry Limeade and it came in a small tin mug with some decoration. I enjoyed it, I'm not usually one to get a carbonated based non-alcoholic drink, but less ingredients was more on my wishlist. The house made syrup all sink to the bottom of the cup. So next time, I'll mix it more with the given straws. Then our food came. My dad got a salad prior to the entree and quickly put it away. The entrees don't look filling at first glance. Once you start eating, it just feels like it keeps going. It is just so filling. The full feeling after eating is exactly what you're looking for. The noodles absorb the bolognese sauce while keeping the noodle flavor together. My dad was very satisfied with his baked rigatoni. Upon finishing, he did say he would come back with mom and my brother. I know I have been there before tonight, but I will for sure return. Well done to Leo's!!

Whenever we have a taste for authentic Italian cooking not made by the In-laws D'Angelo's is our go to place. In the 15 + years that we have either dined or purchased takeout we have NEVER had a bad meal! I do not understand some of the other reviews on Yelp. The good people at D'Angelo's take great pride in every meal they prepare. The food is always delicious, hot, and enough extra for leftovers for the next day. D'Angelo's always brings a warm smile to my face and that satisfaction you get when you've eaten a fantastic meal. I'm going to end up with a bald head from scratching so much!!! I don't get it.

This location has picturesque decor throughout: from the entryway to the dining area. (Check out the pictures of the decor)! There is statue in full armor before entering the dining area... so cool! Make sure to check out the plastic table display holders for limited time only specials and new items. The menu features: salads (house and antipasto), subs: meatball, sausage, and Italian, pasta: lasagna, penne, and spaghetti, pizzas, and you can't forget their cannoli! During this visit, I tried the half & half combo which has a half order of Parassons special meatball and half order of their sausage patties topped with pasta sausage and cheeses! I also added a side salad (iceberg lettuce, tomato's, cucumbers, and cheese with buttermilk ranch dressing ) I had the red onions removed from the side salad. You won't go home hungry! The service is always friendly and hospitable, willing to sing happy birthday (if you want them to). This place brings back lots of childhood memories!

It's kinda dark in the dining areas and looks to be around 1989 decor. It's clean. They have daily specials. My partner got the baked rigatoni and it comes with a salad. She enjoyed it. Portion size is kinda small in my opinion. It's a $15 cost and it's a little baking dish. I got the meatball sub with homemade chips. It's was good as well. Chips were hot and came with ranch to dip. Super good. Everything is Ala carte. So my sub was 1 price and to add chips was $2 and cheese to the sub was $1. To add cheese to the salad was $1. So you have to watch the nickel and dimes. The server was nice. I asked a few questions and wanted a recommendation and she gave them to me. At first I thought she was kinda grumpy because I asked the about the quality of steak in the steak sandwich. I didn't want to order it and fight with chewing the steak. So I asked. I think I offended her. But she was fine after a bit. Overall it's not bad. It's a solid Italian American cuisine experience. Prices are in the middle not outrageous but food quantity could be better on the pasta. My sub came with lots of chips and it was a good size. So that's good. We would go back. Again it's just average. But if you are close you want Italian it's fine. Next time I'll get the pizza.

The atmosphere, selection, quality, and experience is superior. -if you're thinking about going to Russo's for oysters go to The Noisy Oyster instead. Their oysters have more flavor and are priced more reasonably. -if you're thinking of going to Russo's for steak or Italian food go to Porta Rossa instead. The ingredients are better quality and the food tastes much better. Our waitress and the hostess at Russo's were ineffective. The manager was combative, unprofessional, unapologetic, and very rude. She told us they were in the business of making money. The owner was not sympathetic to our situation and empowered the manager to treat customers poorly. They made no effort to try and offer us any discounts or adjustments to the check after all the errors and rude behavior. Loud atmosphere, slow and poor service, bad management and, overpriced and subpar food. Save yourself from having your own bad experience at Russo's. I strongly recommend going elsewhere. I find it hard to believe our situation was an isolated incident.
