A few main issues here:
A “medium pizza” and a side of blue cheese half full – 20 dollars. The pizza had a nice sauce but unfortunately was small and doughy. The blue cheese costed 2 dollars for a half full container.
Next, comes the burger with nothing on it and a side of fries for almost 20 dollars. The burger was decent but the fries were soggy and flavorless. We had to salt our own fries and put them in the air-fryer.
These are things that you would not expect from an historic Italian restaurant like Russos.
Third, when you call and order they do not tell you that charge a 3 percent fee for using a debit card. When you are paying 41 dollars that feels a bit like a slap in the face.
I will say that the atmosphere is nice and so are the people, but the food is what made me fall in love with Russos all of those years ago.
If they are going to charge the prices that they do they need to have higher standards for quality.
Other restaurants like Lorenzo’s and Boscos in Amsterdam are charging less while also giving more.
For whoever is reading please look at my pictures and be the judge and if I am being out of line please tell me.
Thank you
Been living in Amsterdam for over eight years now, but I’ve never been to Russo’s until today that is. I’ve heard plenty of good things of course, but I’ve generally always stayed to the east of Amsterdam.
Put an order in over the phone for a cup of their seafood bisque as well as the Adirondack chicken, the total only coming to a little under $30.
When I got home and opened it all up I noticed that the Adirondack chicken was missing a key ingredient, the Russian dressing. It had all the other components, but there was no dressing on top. Oh it tasted good still, but I bet it would have been even better with the dressing it is suppose to come with. The accompanying fires also could either use more frying or any seasoning whatsoever, as it stands they are simply chunky fries that taste more like a baked potato than a fry. All said however, the seafood bisque was fantastic! I can see why it is a menu staple, such great flavor made for the perfect way to consume the bland fries. Oh, and the meal ended up coming with a couple slices of buttered bread, one half I used for soaking up soup and the other I used to make the Adirondack chicken a real sandwich. Which reminds me, the garlic bread it is supposed to be on had a distinct lack of garlic flavor.
So my meal was a little off a full score, but the service was at least good. Seemed like they were training a new girl, who was very flighty, but the guy working there knew his stuff and brought my order out in a jiffy. So if I could I would give Russo’s a 4.5 out of 5, but Goggle doesn’t do half stars so a 4 will have to suffice.
Mind you my husband and I usually go a different day of the week and bring the grands on many Sundays for pizza & pasta. We like their homemade meatballs. But never again. NEVER!
My friend has been a regular for 30 yrs.
I asked for the check and a young man threw it at the table.
I forgot to mention when she slid the pizza into a brown cardshop flat paper bag. Her finger was in my pizza
Also upon leaving the kid who flung the check – was right at the door smoking. Then another gentleman whom I recognized as staff- he was bussing tables – out there- i believe also smoking a cigarette. In NYS there is a strict HEALTH DEPT law – no smoking within 500 ft of ANY building much less the front door of your restaurant– especially staff.
Don’t waste your money .
$60 for one tap beer – two pizzas–signature pies — small –
Supposedly signature NOT PAN –
she served raw pan watery and unmelted cheese — and we were the problem.
That bill wasn’t even with tip. — take your appetite and your HARD EARNED MONEY to an establishment who actually appreciates your patronage.
I only wish I took a’photo of the raw pizza– but at thst point I was hopeful and hungry.
Additional note– we should have not gone in– the stink and reek of Marijuana in the doorway of the restaurant should have been the clue.
We sat down and the table which was sticky so my father wiped it down himself. Gross. We both ordered a diet Pepsi.. we could see through it bc there was hardly any syrup in it, basically seltzer. I mentioned to the server, she came back with new ones and still the same problem..clearly it is what they serve. My son who is 8 had a KIDS sprite and it was flat. But he was drinking it. So I felt like I should leave it alone. My father ordered soup.. corn chowder which was filled with potatoes and hardly any corn. I ordered a burger medium but it came out medium well, I was hungry so I left it alone. My father ordered a sausage sandwich which was a sausage patty on two thick pieces if Italian bread and my son had kids tenders and fries. Food was fair if that. Fries are frozen not fresh and do not come with the burger, let the nickel and diming begin. So my sons KIDS MEAL WAS 14 DOLLARS AND THE KIDS SODA WAS 4.50. Damn near 20 dollars for a kids meal. The soda was not included. In what world is this okay. For a staple in the community you should be ashamed of yourself. Party of 3 ended up being 90 dollars for a burger, kids meal and a sandwich and we had a special Togo which by the way was a dinner and it was the same price my sons garbage tenders were. We brought up the 4.50 for the 6 Oz of soda and the server was less then understanding and was useless in helping and said ” yeahhhhh its 4.50 bc there are free refills.” Lol um a kids cup should have been included especially for 13.50.
SAVE YOUR MONEY don’t waste it at this dump.
The food came very fast and it was delicious, additionally I enjoyed very good aperol spritz. The waitress is very friendly and helpful
We could not finish our meal and took pizza home
