Russo's Pub & Italian Restaurant

Absolutely excellent. Was passing by through town and decided to stop in for a try. We were immediately sat and given drinks as soon as we got in. The young man who helped us was super sweet and a good time to hang around. The restaurant is very clean, the bathrooms are spotless but a little bit of a squeeze, and the food was delicious. The booths are also spacious and we could fit our car seat just fine. I’m glad we stopped in and we will definitely stop in again if we pass through.

Out of hundreds of restaraunt I have visited, this is my first five star review ever given. Don't be fooled by the outside appearance, the food and the service was phenomenal.

We had a group of nine in our party which they made immediate accommodations for.

The waitress immediately took our drink k and appetizer orders while we perused the menu. Before our orders were taken the waitress explained that the food is made on order, not prepared in advance. With this we understood that food might take a little longer to arrive at the table.

We started with mozzarella sticks, potato skins, and bruschetta. The mozzarella sticks are large homemade breaded slabs of cheese cooked to perfection, served with a homemade chunky sauce. Generous plates of appetizers that were absolutely fantastic in every aspect.

Next came a huge salad full of assorted greens and veggies.

Our meals arrived at the table on huge overflowing platters. Homemade sauce, fresh moist tender chicken, and huge meatballs. Tastes like your Nonna made the food.

We left with enough food for another meal. By far the best service and Italian food bar none.

Great place that we stumbled upon while in Pemberton for a show. Service was excellent, food was piping hot and portions were large! So glad we found this gem and we will be sure to visit again!

We stopped in for and early lunch and arrived shortly after they opened.

Service is a bit on the slower side, but we’ve been here before so I knew what to expect.

I had spaghetti & meatballs. They were very good. My side salad was so fresh & crisp. And the bread basket is so yum. Soft & warm.

My husband got the fish & chips, He was disappointed in the serving size. He said it was all batter and not enough fish. Also stated that the coating was very greasy.

Everything was served piping hot.

Allie was our server. She was very personable and accommodating!

You can’t go wrong with the garlic knots!!! My server was great. I wish I got his name.

We had a very good experience at this restaurant. We went on a Saturday night at 6 and they did have many open seats. The restaurant was busy, but service was still good. The menu was huge, a ton of items to choose from. They are apparently known for the pizza but we chose different items. We started with the loaded tator tots which were amazing! My meal was served with a garden salad which was so good and very large. I got the vodka rigatoni and it was so good. The dinner also included rolls which were super tasty also. My partner got the meatball sandwich and it was really good! Overall we really liked the food and are ready to go back and try the pizza and other items. Highly recommended!
