Stopped in while traveling from Syracuse to Poughkeepsie. Russo's is a gem. Loved everything about our lunch experience.I bought red sauce to go because it was so delicious. Wish I had purchased more. Fabulous.

My wife and I try to make it to Russo's at least once a month, it is just great home style Italian meals that will leave you feeling like someone has to roll you out the door. For the low price, the portions are huge and with everything being homemade the flavors of all the dishes are pretty self explanatory. The history of Russo's is very cool and says a lot about the food due to it being around for over 50 years. The service is good but when it's busy it can be very slow. I would suggest trying the pizza there, the homemade dough topped off with marinara will blow away your taste buds, the crust is crispy and there is no lack of cheese or toppings!

Hey, where's the Russian dressing?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.

Always a great place for pizza, and it’s been there forever. They use a bit chunkier sauce but the flavor is fantastic. I don’t get here often, but when heading through Amsterdam, it’s worth a stop!
My husband has been going to Russos since he was a kid. We have been married for nearly 34 years. We've continued to enjoy Russos together over the years as well. Russo's food is always outstanding and the atmosphere is very special. No wonder their business has continued to thrive for so many generations. Cheers to Russo' s to continue to thrive for generations to come.
Five Stars they have the best pizza and wings around. Fast and friendly service Russo is reliably and consistently fantastic. Our family loves this place.

It got that old world feel. Staff was perfect food was good great
We were travelling back to Cleveland from New Hampshire on I-90 and needed lunch. We got off in Amsterdam thinking there must be something there. Downtown was dead, but a google search pointed us to Russo's. It was perfect. We had gigantic (and I mean gigantic) meatball sandwiches full of sauce, cheese and meatballs, sandwiched between two gigantic pieces of bread. (Oh, we also had a basket full of that buttered gigantic bread.) The waiter was very attentive and helpful, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
