Reviews for Russo’s Italian Restaurant & Ice Cream in Ship Bottom, NJ

We thoroughly enjoyed our first dine in experience at Russo's! Reservations were easy to make with very accurate timing. The... staff was attentive, informative and pleasant with smiles. The menu items we choose were scrumptious. Clam Flatbread, a specialwhich began our meal, was tasty from crust to clam. ???? Complimentary Garlic Rolls gave us a chance to sample theirsauce/gravy. ?? Our entrees were the Lobster Mac 'n Cheese - another special, and the Brooklyn Bolognese. Both were delicious,plentiful and spot on for taste. We ended the meal with Cheesecake and Flourless Chocolate Cake together with theirextraordinary Coffee Fudge Truffle ice cream. We will back!! Soon!! Read more

Wouldn't recommend Russo's. Wasn't Bad, just nothing special, especially for the price. I would have been happy with my dish... if it was a $25 item, but for $45 that it cost, it was bland and a small portion. Same thing for a $37 item for someone else inmy party. Another small portion and the taste is average at best. My old pizza place could have given me the same dishes withway more flavor and value, and more pasta. I dont understand why some of these restaurants give such a small portion of pasta. At least fill up the customer, pasta is inexpensive and not cutting into the bottom line. Read more

We live almost 2 hrs away and would consider making thedrive just to go here!!!! Read more

Food was very good along with the staff and atmosphere, serving sizes were on the small sizes especially for the price and bread... is an extra charge. I would go back but not if I was hungry. Read more

Delicious Italian cuisine! I got the Brooklyn Bolognese which was meaty (pork AND beef!) and a perfect portion on a hungry... evening. My wife got the Shrimp Rosa Diablo which I stole a few bites of and, wow was it good! Even the kids' meals were freshand homemade. Definitely no Kraft Mac & Cheese here! The ambiance was great, but the dining room is not very big, so definitelywould recommend a reservation. Calling was easier than reserving through Yelp (especially with our larger party). Definitelywould go again, but it is a bit more expensive than your normal everyday dinner place. I think it's worth it for a nice nightout though! Read more

This was our second visit, from last summer. I had reservations and was called to our table on time. The young gal at the... front desk was very friendly. Our server was Erin and she was cheerful and attentive. My husband and I recognized our serverChelsea from out first busy and she was GREAT! We were happy to see she still worked here. Then all of a sudden Chelsea cameover to us and greeted us so warmly. She remembered us from last year!!!! How sweet. The restaurant was full and bustling. The dinner was very good. I walked over to the Hostess and asked her to take my credit card and ask our server to use it to runour bill I wanted to pay for dinner as a surprise to my husband for Father's day They loved the gesture...it went well.Needless to say we were so full and happy to be dining out in a restaurant that is warm and friendly and all the staff wereattentive. I highly recommend...reservations a must!! Read more

Went here for the last day of restaurant week and their menu for the 40$ pricing was a steal. The salads and soups were full... dinner sized portions, the Brooklyn Bolognese was phenomenal and the garlic rolls were amazing. They had a substitute chocolatemousse cake that our waiter Nick recommended and it was every bit as delicious as he promised. Wonderful atmosphere woulddefinitely eat here again. Read more
