Arthur H.: Wonderful service, delicious paninis, crepes, delicious coffee. This place is perfect. It's small but it has a very warm and welcoming vibe.
David Blackman: Another contended for "most Italian place outside of Italy" - wine bar. Amazingly diverse list. Expensive. Super friendly Italian wait staff. Super cozy, great date spot.
Sabrina Merchant: Lovely new spot in the hood - bartenders and the manager are super friendly and have a great deal of knowledge about everything they serve!
Lauryn Goldberg: V tiny in here, you have to be okay with being as smooshed as possible. The grilled octopus and all the pastas make it worth it.
Running After Ale: Need an Italian Provisions fix? Fresh pasta, sauces, meat, olives, fresh bread... you get the idea! This place is a gem. Everything is fresh and amazing.
Serious Eats: Italian deli with standout hero sandwiches, fresh pasta, and excellent fresh mozzarella.
Alex Rainert: Don't feel like making dinner? Russo's is always full of fresh + delicious options to piece together a killer potluck meal. Great main and side dishes to be had (ps: roasted artichokes are amazing)
