We have never had a bad dinner at Russo et Russo. From the helpful service (and the surprise of a waiter that remembered us) to the delicious food, all has been delightful. This time we stayed late and ate well but never felt we were outstanding our welcome. Ask advice, try everything and always get the tiramisu.
