    I was so unhappy when they closed the one near me. Food is great, service is excellent and the prices are very fair

    We love coming here for dinner before going to the theater. We're always greeted by name, shown to a nice booth, and given good service, always out on time. The pizza, salad, and mushroom ravioli are our favorites. Prices are quite reasonable.

    My husband and I love eating here as much as we can. Sometimes we prefer eating here versus cooking a meal because we know the food is always tasty and cooked to perfection. It’s well worth the money. The staff is so friendly and provide excellent customer service. Tanos and Miguel are our favorites but everyone is wonderful.

    The service here is always amazing! The waiter checked with the chef to see if there was any dairy in my choices since I am lactose intolerant, offered a different side dish, the manager came by to see if all was well, everyone so polite…  the noise level was high due to lunch hour, although the background music had a thumping bass to it which didn't help.  Maybe drop the music for a more relaxing experience? The food was delicious. This is one of my favorite restaurants.

    We each had a different entree and now we need to come back to try what the other one had!! Even the side salad with the French Dip was extraordinarily good (as side salads go!). We had great waitstaff, Adam - very attentive but did not rush us. We’ll be back!

    Our experience at the restaurant located on the third floor of Nordstrom was exceptional. It is always a pleasure to discover an establishment that offers both high-quality cuisine and a welcoming ambiance. The prompt service provided was particularly advantageous, especially in the context of a shopping excursion.

    I’ve been coming to Russell for years & enjoy the food. However, I think the service can better. Some of the waiters oftentimes forget that you are even there. I’ve also noticed that their prices have been increased. Also the quality of the food at Nordstrom in Irvine spectrum is not same as Ruscello.
