RUSSO'S HISTORY - FRANCHISE BEGINNINGS

It All Started In The Russo's Kitchen

Italian Heritage

In traditional Italian families, some of life’s greatest joys take place around the table. Italians understand the magic created when the joys of conversation and intimacy mingle with the pleasures of beautiful food and drink. At Russo’s, we strive to recreate this phenomenon between family and friends at every meal. It’s not just the food, it’s the experience that keeps customers coming back. They come for warmth, conversation, and a sense of belonging.

Traditions provide a means to honor and maintain bonds with our ancestors. Chef Russo’s family traditions play a role in every aspect of the business—the preparation of each authentic recipe, the warm welcome shown to each customer, the respect given to every employee. All passed down through generations, never to be forgotten. By handing off these developed recipes and techniques, the Russo’s family name is passed down to each franchisee.

“Because our company holds our family name and family recipes, we’re dedicated to continuing the family tradition. Every day, I’m honored to have this legacy passed on to us.”

Authenticity

Our recipes come from family kitchen traditions like getting fresh ingredients from the family garden, hand-tossing fresh made dough, and creating made-from-scratch sauces just as Grandpa and Nona Russo did back in Avellino, Italy.
