"Outstanding food. The thin crust pesto pizza was light and delicious. The chicken wings were big, moist, with the Medium with Gold sauce, were slightly spicy, terrific flavor, and reheat well. We will do a double order of them next time. We have not tried the lasagna yet, but it is generous and can easily be shared. It is now our favorite Italian restaurant. The order was prepared quickly and delivered quickly. "
"The pizza which was thin crust and was burnt, (actually black on crust edges) dry and flavorless because it was burnt. Was like eating cardboard. Ended up throwing it away. Very disappointing for the money. Chicken wings were good and the amt of ranch given was generous."

"There is no other pizza like this. Dough. Sauce and cheese perfectly balanced. Toppings galore create to your heats desire."
"Long time customer(15+years) one of the worst experiences I've ever had. Pizza was cold, sloppy, ingredients were sparse and poorly placed. Paid for extra cheese and somehow ended up with less than usual. Consistent matters. It should be the same experience every single time. Especially when you are paying almost $40 for a 2 topping 16 inch pizza. There was one bright spot. The honey hot wings were perfect as usual. Please do better in future."

"The oriental chicken salad was tasty as usual, but paying for a full-size salad that was smaller than a half-size you would order in the restaurant for $21 and some change. I was dissatisfied with the portion I received. Plus, I ordered extra dressing, and both small containers were tucked into each side of the salad, taking up space where salad should be. With that being said, would I recommend the ornamental chicken salad? If you don't mind paying a big price for a flavorful small salad."
"We had two quesadilla Burgers and they were the worst ever. The tortilla was swimming in grease in the bottom of the container no flavor at all. Just terrible not worth the money.. second time ordering from there and both times was bad."

"cook put like 1 scoop of lobster sauce on baked potatoes,,,not worth the 11.99 I paid,,, cause regular potatoes is like 5.00,,,,there confused that this was to be a meal,,,, very disappointed Creamy Lobster Baked Potato"
"Tonight I had the Parrot Isle Coconut Shrimp and it was delicious as always. My side was orzo rice and it was good but nothing special. Hubby had the Fish and Chips. Unfortunately the fish was overcooked and burnt on the outside and the fish was also nothing special. The fish planks were small, smaller than you get at Long John Silver and they only give you two of them with two tiny hush puppies, which were the highlight of the meal, and one side. He chose cole slaw. I had wanted to order a slice of key lime pie but it cost about $13 for a slice which we think is ridiculous for one slice. We could buy two pies for that price! Overall the food tasted good. We also ordered extra Half Dozen Cheddar Bay Biscuits® and they're good but not nearly as garlicky and buttery as they were last time. We did order on a Saturday night at peak dining hour and the food arrived VERY quickly. We'll order from them again though, but for their high prices the portion sizes and quality could better."

"★★★★★ We decided to give Russo’s a try, and it did not disappoint! Everything arrived hot, fresh, and packaged exceptionally well. They even packed the Truffle Chocolate Cake> separately so it would stay at the proper temperature. They also included plenty of napkins and utensils, everything we needed. The Fettuccine Alfredo> was creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. The Spaghetti Carbonara> was equally amazing with incredible flavor, and the portions were generous. The Garlic Bread with Cheese> was perfectly cheesy, buttery, and loaded with garlic. We haven’t tried the Truffle Chocolate Cake> yet, but based on how great everything else was, we have high expectations! Between the generous portions, excellent packaging, and delicious food, this was one of the better delivery experiences we’ve had. We’ll definitely be ordering from Russo’s again and are already looking forward to trying more of the menu. Highly recommended!"
