Russo's

A perfect, charming, old-timey Italian deli. No BS. Amazing sandwiches and Italian ingredients for sale. I don’t want to say too much so that it doesn’t get too busy!

Hi, I would like to start that I make it a point to support small businesses, especially Italian family businesses (see my previous reviews). That said, I am extremely disappointed with my experience today. I came by around 10:30 this morning and bought 2 baguettes, a sausage that was hanging from the ceiling, and a smoked mozzarella. The baguettes were both stale and the sausage was rock hard. The smoked mozzarella was good quality. I do feel like I was robbed of $36. I very much would have liked to leave a positive review and have had a good experience, but unfortunately today’s products were sorely disappointing. I am in town through the weekend and would appreciate store credit to make up for the experience today, and give the shop a second chance. Thank you.

Will be coming again for my groceries. there is a wide selection of fresh ready to make pastas. italiano panino is amazing for lunch $10 with fresh ingredients. Love it, i want to get their fresh hot sausage next time. Overall, one of the best italian groceries in manhatten

Best Italian store in New York! The fresh mozzarella is as delicious and fresh as it is in Italy! Amazing panini and other deli items. Such a gem!!!

Oh, remember when this place was the *it* spot in the East Village? Yeah, those days are long gone. Now, the employees have apparently taken up a new hobby: not listening and handing me the wrong items. Super fun. Oh, and let's not forget the expired canned beans—because who doesn't love a side of botulism with their groceries? Top-notch service, truly. Definitely wouldn't recommend it.

Russo’s is a little page right out of history... a step back in time, like it should be. The most amazing, fresh produce and delicacies from the old country. Fresh Mozzarella, salami, pasta. Outta this world. Highly recommended. Hope this place goes on forever.

Way back in the early 80s, my mother sent me to the “deli” to pick up some “suprasat” (soppresatta) and a loaf of bread. I picked up the meat and the bread and stepped out of the store and realized it was 2023! Russo’s takes you back to the good old days, before the generic supermarkets offering the same repackaged products. Everything is fresh including the deli meats, homemade pastas/cheeses and the bread (oh, the lard prosciutto bread is the Bomb!). Come prepared for a large purchase because you’ll want everything! Prices are steep but “hey, it’s New York.” Counter service is the same mumbling, rude old man that still yells at you like you’re ten years old. That’s why the 4 stars (not 5). Swing by to get yelled at and to pick up some delicious old-school Italian deliciousness!!

Wide selection of fresh ravioli and other pasta, Italian cheeses and cold cuts. Some prepared foods too. Fresh mozzarella sandwiches are great.
