Reviews for Russo's in Peninsula, OH
If you're sick of the same old chain restaurants with the frozen meats and so so flavors you have to check out Russo's. With a... focus on Southern, Creole and Italian all are fresh, hand made, spiced and cooked to perfection. The staff is professional andfriendly, the portions are generous, the atmosphere is casual and fun and the restaurant floor and open kitchen bar have few ifany empty seats during dinner which should tell you something. The food is a little pricy at first glance, that is until yousee and taste the quality at which point you'll realize you've gotten a good deal. Enjoy!! Read more
Went for our birthdays…wow is all I can say! I got the pork chops. Soo much flavor! The mac and cheese and the green beans... complimented it very well! We got a peanut butter cream pie for dessert and it was amazing! This place offers great food andgreat service!! We will be back! Read more
(8-2022 Update) The place is back to near normal, with the newer workers. Ask for prices before you order anything special....
Ask for John the bartender, he will make you the best drinks anywhere - a real Gray-Beard at work (*with utmost respect).
(5-22Update)- Russo's has lost some talent (Sheela, and perhaps others). Good/ tanlented People make Russo's. Hope to see some new/good talent soon - did not see it today. Took away a star today.
(3-22 Update)- Nice to see Russo's returning back to pre-COVIDambience. Prices seem a bit higher, but that's expected - thanks Brandon.
This is, without a doubt, the most legit gumbo. The New Orleans BBQ shrimp is exactly what it should be. We were served by... second generation staff, super friendly and knowledgeable. I hesitated to even review this place because I want it to be mysecret food place but that wouldn't be fair to Russo's or you. Read more
Fantastic dining experience. Loved sitting at the bar to watch the cooks. Food was delicious even my chef husband loved it. You... can tell they know what they are doing here. With so many restaurants falling short these days, its nice to count in a place forconsistency. Cant wait to go back! Read more
My husband and I love Russo's! The food is amazing. All of the servers are fantastic. We keep coming back because of the... bartenders! They are such hard workers and just really makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome. Great food! Great people! Read more
Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Great food from their oysters to their pastas and Cajun. Left feeling satisfied and wanting to... return soon. The atmosphere was inviting and lively. The open kitchen was a spectacular view and the staff was quick andfriendly. It’s off the beaten path slightly but once you’re inside you feel emerged into the Cajun smells and ready to diginto some amazing meals. Read more
To be completely honest, we were less than impressed. We felt the food was overpriced, especially for what you got. My husband... ordered the halibut ($34) and it came on top of diced potatoes and hush puppies with some brown sauce on it. In my opinion, ifyou're ordering halibut, you are generally choosing a healthier alternative. However serving halibut with 2 starchy items, andnothing green on the plate, is odd to me and for $34, I believe a small side salad should be included with the entree. I orderedthe white chicken pizza and while it was OK, I should've requested that the sausage (that was in the description), be omittedwith a possible substitution of more chicken. The brussel sprouts appetizer was very good. Service was very good, but in myopinion, I think the menu is overpriced for what is offered and when ordering seafood, a green side dish (as opposed to dicedpotatoes and hush puppies), is more appropriate.
