Food was excellent, however, the service was a bit slow, an ordered item never came out. It was removed from our check.

Cute restaurant with good Italian food and nice staff. We've enjoyed dinners (chicken saltimbocca and chicken limoncello) and pizza.

Been here many times.....June 2026 pay for bread? Whats up with that? It was 2 hoagie rolls toasted ugh! Unfortunately my fav appetizer only gets 2 stars...very bland. The sausage and broccoli rabe was still good. Service was good. But the bread thing annoyed me. Have to raise prices? I get it. ​charge for regular bread? Tsk, tsk. read more

Russo's Italian Restaurant - Order of bread?! - Italian Near Me - Ship Bottom, New Jersey

This is a spot we've been wanting to get to for a while now and it was great. Fish tank entrance shows they care off the bat. I dig the low lighting and the booths had that privacy feel to it. The Bread bowl burrata app was necessary and essential to kick things off. Everyone should start and end with that. Next time we'll try the gnocchi bread bowl. That's gotta be nuts. Entrees were delicious. Limoncello chicken huge portion not overly sweet and the Parmesan on top sealed the deal and the Brooklyn Bolognese was real fresh and surprisingly light. Great service. Nice people. Solid desserts. Cheesecake and choc mousse cake were the way to go. read more

Had a Great Meal. Multiple appetizers with service for 4 and a 2 year old fireball. The 2 year old loved the Garlic knots and especially the clams. He also enjoyed the side sausage. Missed a few photos while he was getting a little excited. All the entrees was delicious topped by only one dessert which looked delicious. Our server was Brinn. And was terrific on such a busy Friday night. Hadn't been on the island in years. I'll be back for the island vibes and their wonderful food. read more

Amazing in every way! The inside was decorated nicely with lights for Christmas. We had 7:00 reservations and we had a to wait a few minutes but we didn't mind, they have complimentary pizza in the waiting area which is a very unique touch. Dinner Portions are big in my opinion. The Brooklyn bolognese and chicken parm were delicious. The chicken cutlet was pounded thin, the sauce in both dishes tasted very good and authentic. The server was excellence! She didn't rush us out and we were the last table. Highly recommend making a reservation! Keep in mind it is BYOB read more

This is without a doubt one of the best takeout pizza's I have ever had anywhere. The online ordering was easy, the price was a little less than some other options, the pizza crust was thin and crispy (I ordered well done crust), and it was even done about 10 minutes prior to the scheduled pickup time. Really delicious! The staff I encountered was super friendly, very nice people. I can't wait to dine in here. read more

Had dinner here with friends last night. The service was excellent. Erin our waitress was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The food was excellent. The flounder franchise came with two large filets in a perfectly seasoned butter/lemon sauce The chicken parm serving was enormous and the chicken was moist and tender with a delicious marinara sauce. It's a BYOB so bring your favorite wine. read more

I had chicken saltimbocco and it the breading was wet, there was litterally a half a slice of prociutto, almost no sauce and very little pasta. Not worth the $36 plus tip. Very disappointing! read more

The food has always been great. Servers are so nice. Ozone pie is good. So many menu items are just delicious.

What's an incredible dining experience. Period, the end. Incredible Italian cuisine, great service and the most incredible, edible and exquisite garlic rolls on the planet served with a marinara sauce to die for. I wish there was 10 stars. read more

Absolutely fantastic food to include their delicious garlic rolls/knots, generous portions, and extremely friendly staff every time. When you visit LBI, I highly recommend! read more

Went there for Mother's Day. Forgot it was BYOB but there's a liquor store right across the street. So bought a nice bottle with no restaurant markup. Sat in a booth near the fish tank. Dinner and service was exceptional and the garlic knots were unlike anything I've ever seen--like a blond cinnamon roll but with garlic. read more

Absolutely fantastic food - very friendly atmosphere. Waiters attentive and friendly - just a great place to have a relaxing dinner

Russo's is easily our favorite restaurant on LBI! Fantastic food every time. It's BYOB - and if you forget a bottle from home, there is a liquor store right across the street. This time we started with a burrata salad from the specials list, and had the chicken limoncello and the Brooklyn Bolognese as entrees. Bread is great too. Large portions - we always have take home. read more

We called ahead for seating for our party of 8. No bread was served. Every main entree came out hot and delicious. I had the Sunday Gravy, tons of red gravy! My wife got the clams with white sauce. She never finishes her plate but this dish was 90% gone. Everyone was full at the end of their meals. The decor was cute with pictures of the Russo family in the front along with a large fish tank. My 2 year daughter loved it! read more

We have been dining at Russos over the years. The food and atmosphere has always been enjoyable. The pricing has recently increased considerably. They use to serve complimentary homemade bread with your meal. Salads and soup have always been ala carte, but lastnight we went for dinner and found the bread is no longer offered with the meal. The dinner specials have increased in price significantly. You can expect to pay a premium price in the summer, but we came in mid March. Everything on the menu has increased significantly. We arrived at 7:45 and the place was empty. We ended up closing the place and no other customers came in. Grant it, it's the off season, but we have seen at least 3-4 other tables when we come in the off-season. The food has was delicious, and the service was excellent, but the pricing and the Trump train in the foyer has me debating if I would return. Not a fan of seeing political messaging in a business. read more

Awesome food and service! Tomato pie the best!!! All pastas I have had we cooked perfectly!

Our first visit and won't be our last! Excellent meatballs, sausage, shrimp rosa, chicken limoncello, garlic rolls, etc. Service was great, too! read more

So we didn't have a great experience at first, but the owner reached out and was very concerned about our experience. I really appreciate that she reached out. We will definitely be back. read more

Came here for my daughter's Birthday, and the food was very good! Every dish we got was filled with flavor and very delicious! The flourless chocolate cake was completely amazing. It was deliciously rich, we could eat it slowly which usually doesn't happen . Amazing!! It was a quiet Monday and the waitress was fabulous. Would definitely go back even though I'm not a pasta person. I really enjoyed it! read more

The food was great and so was our server. It was our first time and we will definitely be back!

Never knew how amazing the pizza is here! New York style thin crust, mix of fresh and shredded mozzarella. Tangy sauce not sweet thankfully! Not cheap, a large runs over $20 bucks but worth it. read more

Always delicious! Crab Valentino and stuffed rigatoni Rosa! And of course the fabulous garlic rolls and a canolli for dessert!

Where does one Start , food is amazing. The service is fantastic. The staff is just great wonderful to see everybody helping one another out and that's rare.!The only thing is the summertime. there so packed . such a long wait but worth it ... we go as much as we ocan in the winter spring and fall, but do your best. If you are there in the summertime to make it a stop because you're absolutely will not be disappointed by any means. My favorite servers are Erin & Chelsea. keep up the wonderful job that are doing. It shows. read more

Dinner at Russo's has become a "must-do" on LBI for my family. On our last visit we ordered from the Daily Specials Menu. We got the pork chop, the Crab fettuccine and Beet Salad. All three were perfectly done and delicious. The saltimbocca exploded with flavor from the sage and prosciutto. We didn't need them, but for appetizers, we got the mussels, sautéed veggies and garlic knots. Mussels were good, veggies were very good, knots were excellent. Gianna - our server - took great care of us. I'm glad that they now offer (limited) reservations and waitlists. Of course, we'll be back. read more

Delicious food and great staff. Best garlic knots. Located at the start of the island is a bonus.

Another fabulous meal at Russo's tonight. Caesar salad with crisp fresh lettuce and dressing just right. Enough to share. The Veal Parm was tender, flavorful and even enough to share to bring home for another meal. I have been to Russo's many times and it is a favorite when my family visits LBI. Never a bad meal or service. read more

Great Italian family style and individual dishes! I had A panini with chicken, broccoli rabe and red peppers and it was great The burrata bowl was great and our waitress, Erin was as good as it gets! All 6 of us loved our meal! read more

Very good food. Pretty cool ambience. It's open year round and it's BYO! We go a couple times a month. Takeout is a nice option too

The food and service were wonderful! It has always been a family favorite. Be sure to make a reservation if you want to get in.

This BYOB place was fantastic. First time there. The portions are big enough for two or be prepared for leftovers. I had clams and spaghetti marinara thankfully I had an order an appetizer. The clams were done perfectly. The Weight staff is attentive, but doesn't overwhelm if you're in the area try it you won't be disappointed. read more
