Went for dinner with my family last friday night and all I can say was it was a dreadful experience. Had to wait forever for my food not only did they get it wrong which didn't bother me at first but some old lady who must be the owner was screaming at the waiter which you could hear from the other end of the shop which was quite embarrassing. Not to mention she brought our food out without an apology or anything and just simply said where busy next time you might want to order an entree. This shop has really gone down in the past few weeks very disappointing.

We have now visited more than a dozen times and seen a variety of service and quality, the owner tries very hard to impress, but is let down by his staff, the food varies from week to week with the same dish having different characteristics i.e flavourful and delicious one week salty and awful the next week.

I have brought this to the attention of the staff and they have made sure it was passed down the line to the kitchen staff, but it prevails, I think some weeks his wrist gets tired and the salt shaker is used more than needed, but the bruschetta pizza for an entree is wonderful, I highly recommend this dish, the sauces are too much and too thin, the mains are ok but nothing really stands out.

The service has always been good for us and the staff friendly and helpful, on busy night we have always been found a table and been welcomed and looked after the prices are great but remember this is not a 5 star michelin restaurant, you are getting what you are paying for, so just look for what suits you and enjoy it.

I used to be a loyal frequenter to Russos as I know the owners personally as are family friends. I don't know what has happened since one of the main management staff left. There is one chef called Danny or some other name - have to say one of the worst chefs of all time. The guy couldn't make a veal Boscaiola right, lumps in the cream very bland and excessive. Another time in August last year went to the Revesby store - I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. The waitress spilt my meal and served it to me! I thought I'd wait and see, when I discovered the veal was cooked raw I.E frozen, I went absolutely ballistic at the manager and if I was going to be served raw food - I'm better off going to Woolies and microwaving it myself. Its not how it was, I'm glad I didn't take the opportunity to work there when I had the chance to.

I went to Russos last week with my family and have never seen my children so excited to go back to a restaurant. The staff were so helpful as it was our first time and it definitely will not be our last. The food might have took a while to come out but it was worth the wait! The manager there was so nice and looked after us even gave my daughter ice-cream because she was crying! we will definitely be back.

Let me just start with how annoying it is to see the senior staff and his friends pollute the entrance of the restaurant with their chain smoking. The standards have dropped dramatically. The food I find to be either very salty or bland. No in between. The service is very rushed too! Give it a try if you like the fumes from Henry Lawson Drive in your food.

We went there last Friday night. The whole experience, to put it in a word, was terrible. After we ordered the waitress came around and offered us garlic bread. We thought "a complimentary snack, this is nice". Then it appeared on our bill at the end of the night. When I looked around, the waitresses were doing it to all their customers! That really angered me. Then the waitress came and ripped the bread basket off the table (when there was still one slice in there) and put her hand on my bread before I could tell her we weren't finished.

We ordered a potato pizza. I could barely finish my slice because my partner and I were crunching away on the raw potato like we were eating an apple. Took the potato off but the pizza had no flavour anyway. Second dish was spaghetti al alio. Pretty hard to stuff up? No. For some reason the cook had chopped up the pasta into 2 cm long pieces (the way your mum did when you were 5).

Again no flavour so I packed on the salt and tried to eat it with a spoon. I understand this is a low key family restaurant but they would have to pay me to go back there. The food was so bad I actually had an upset stomach trying to get it down.

Russos is a quality restaurant with excellent food including pasta, pizza, dessert and beverages. My brother dislikes most food that he eats, but even he enjoyed the experience.
