We showed up at 11:30am and per the worker it was a little thin but still many acceptable options. LEMON BLUEBERRY MUFFIN: -- nice irregular shaped appearance -- visually appealing -- not too sweet -- pronounced balance of both flavors which is rare with these two flavors when combined -- oftentimes the lemon dominates the blueberry -- tastes even better than it looks -- quite moist without being oily or greasy RATING = A JASMINE HONEY LATTE (HOT): -- smooth and just enough flavor and scent of both -- tastes natural and authentic -- smooth java RATING = A+ Quaint and country vibe inside. Very roomy space. Conveniently located near the airport for this weary traveler.

I all bought two slices of pizza - one was spinach ricotta, and other meatball parm. Both were very generously loaded w toppings. Both were very good, but definitely below New Haven-style.

But I don't think we've ever fallen as head-over-heels in love with one as we did when we set foot into the Russo Pastry Shop. It's one of the most visually stunning bakeries I've ever seen! Walking into the store reminded me of the moment in the Wizard of Oz movie when the images transform from black and white into color. That's because vibrant, bright, gorgeous colors are everywhere inside Russo's. An embarrassment of riches are everywhere in the form of cannolis, cookies, pastries, and cake slices, And if you want some savory treats to accompany your sweet treats, well... no worries because Russo has pizzas, calzones, grinders, frozen pastas, parmigianas, and soups. We picked up a gorgeous slice of White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake, and it was so fantastic it's hard to put into words. We went into their freezer case and picked up two entrees -eggplant parmigiana and chicken parmigiana. They were priced as a $16.99 BOGO deal. We had both last week, and the portions in the containers were easily splitable for the two of us. The chicken parm seemed to have more inside the container than the eggplant did, and we both thought it was better than the eggplant. In essence we ended up with four dinner portions for just $16.99. Do the math-that's a tremendous value. After you do the math, do yourself a favor and take a ride over to Russo's for a fantastic experience.

She does keep most things in a frigde or cooler so I popped my turnover in the airfrier and it was just right!

We arrived late on Friday so there wasn't much left to pick from as it was mostly sold out (they close at 5). We made due with what was left for the day.

The coconut cupcake was also so delicious, perfectly baked. Can't wait to try the red velvet oreo and the smores cupcakes. I will be back but I'll be early next time. Thank you Lele!!!

I ordered 3 steak fajita platters paid extra for the steak and shrimp for each platter. That alone was 90$! Not to mention everything else we ordered. When I checked my order there was 3 fajita "set ups" and only 1 box with protein (pictured) obviously I call the place right away. I was polite but inquisitive about why my order was missing the 2 other fajitas. Bartender put me on hold and stated the kitchen put our three orders together in one box. When I said why would they put three seperate fajitas in one box. Her response was "why not?" with a condescending attitude. When I arrived and showed the cooks and servers my portion and the fact it was missing peppers and onions. I told them I was treated very disrespectfully on the phone and the server replied that was not me and I said okay it's really unacceptable to talk to people this way!! I told them that you do not serve three separate meals for three seperate people to share their takeout in 1 box. Well the bartender was overhearing and walked over to let me know it was her on the phone and got into a full blown argument with me in front of her two customers at the bar and the 1 table sitting and eating. I am talking yelling back and forth across the restaurant. Absolute maddening, disgusting, disrespectful, person. Trying to make me feel like shit that I am complaining? Literally made fun of me, mocking me for complaining I didn't get peppers and onions. It was absolutely shocking I had to compose myself because she even mocked me when I said I had my baby in the car and had to return here and she said "wow you left your baby in the car alone" And I told her no my friend who stayed outside waiting 20min for you to mess up her take out is in the car with my baby. Again all in front of her other customers. Disgusting. I've worked in this industry 15+ years and if anyone made a mistake in the kitchen or at the bar, my job was always to treat them kindly and correct any mistakes or issues so they leave with a pleasant experience. AS THEY SHOULD. I never leave bad reviews but this place truly deserves it. The bartender was abhorrent & the food was also terrible. SAVE YOUR MONEY
