My ILs love it there! We looked for our wedding and it's gorgeous. But we didn't have enough people to have a wedding on a Saturday, so we couldn't have it there (my family is all OOT so Sunday or a weekday was out of the question). Have fun!! There are usually 11 choices for the wedding menu

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

Yes-I love it there..the cocktail hour is amazing!!!

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

Its really that good..
I had my wedding there and I am having our daughters christening there..

I wouldn't have a big event anywhere else!

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

And, the food is DELISH!

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

It is really good! I have been to a wedding there and it was one of the best weddings I have ever been to.

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

Iv'e been to so many weddings at Russo's!!! I actually just came back from one a few weeks ago. My family loves that place. The service is good & the food is excellent. (The tortellini alfredo at cocktail hour is to die for).

You wont be disappointed.

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

I love the food there but the place is a little too over the top for me personally.

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

i went to a wedding there this past labor day--hands down the BEST wedding i've ever been to. the food, outstanding...service to die for---everything was perfect.

never have i attended a wedding where every aspect of the food tasted as delicious as this did. i think they upgraded the dinner choices and such--and the vienesse hour---omg there are NO WORDS for how freaking amazing it was.

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

the food is amazing!!!!!

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

I've been to an anniversary party, a bday party there (my aunt and uncle used to live next door to the owners so they got a good deal on their parties) and everything was great.

I'm actually going to a wedding there Thanksgiving weekend so hopefully its still as good.

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

YES

YES

and

YES!!!!!

it is just as good as everyone says it is!! we actually went to a wedding THIS labor day weekend there. i can't even tell you how amazing the service was, how well they did everything and the FOOD... omg omg omg!!!

they had a roasting pig as part of their HUGE cocktail hour with everything you could imagine and the food was just delicious-- all fresh, all homemade-- just delicious! then, they had something like an eight course menu to choose from... oh god, it MAY have been twelve! nina-- how many was it?! vin had the duck and i had the steak... everything was just so good but at the same time you are so stuffed!!! but in a good way!!!

then- they had a full VH... holy shiiiittt this was amazing. we were like CATTLE running into that room and i just remember watching the man make fresh zeppolis right in front of us and thinking "i want to dip my head in there" it was just phenominal... so much fun too because this couple happened to have a fantastic DJ.

and they came out of the floor! it was just so cool. vinny is dying to go back but for now, that was our very first wedding and we hope it is not our last!

ooh! they are so good that my MIL went to a wedding there and they happened to be a few minutes late with her dinner... they, by accident, thought she ordered one thing when she ordered another so they rushed her the correct item. the manager came over and personally apologized but they had the correct dinner out in like a MINUTE so it was not a big deal. then, when she left there was a tray of pastries and cookies wrapped up waiting for her in her car with a PERSONAL letter from the OWNER.

My advice is to go there hungry. You won't be disappionted.

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

I went to a few wedding there and each time I was not impressed. I think there is more hype but that is JMO. The cocktail hour was pretty good but most cocktail hours are!

I don't want to offend anyone but I am not a big fan!

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

Love it, I've been to a few weddings there and we had our son's 1st bday party there, phenominal

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

I'VE always wanted to be invited to a wedding there

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

The food is fantastic, possibly the best of any catering hall around. My parents and IL's were annoyed when we didn't book our wedding there. The decor is a little over the top, not my style BUT as a guest I am always happy to go to an event there. Go on an empty stomach

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

Food is INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

excellent food, love the decor-would have had my wedding there-but i live 5 min from there-so i wanted a lil "drive" for the wedding (also-too $$$$)

but worth it!

i have a weddin there the day after thanksgiving! cant wait for it!!!!!

The food and service are great - The decor isn't my style .......but who cares when it's someone's else's wedding ??
Have a good time !! (Don't eat ALL day before you go !!)

Re: just found out we have a wedding at Russos.. is it really as good as the hype?

I think its too hyped up, there are much better places out there. IMO
