The restaurant was pretty nice and I decided to sit at the inside bar. Liz and another young lady were my bartenders. I started with the pinot nior amd it was tasty. For my meal, I got the cavatelli con gamberi, which was jumbo shrimp, and switched the cavatelli for pappardelle. It came out after about 20 minutes. When I dug in, the food was good! I added a little salt and hot pepper flakes. The bill wasn't too bad. All in all I had a good experience.

We're an Italian family, and we came across Piciocchi's on our way back to Long Island from upstate…read moreNew York last Saturday. From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. We met the owner, Stefano, and despite the restaurant being at its busiest peak, he couldn't have been more welcoming, kind, and attentive. Speaking Italian with him instantly brought us back to Italy. He embodies the warmth and hospitality we miss so much. The food was authentic, fresh, and clearly made with great attention to detail. We tried a little bit of everything on the menu, and every dish was outstanding. Honestly, it's hard to choose a favorite because everything was so good. Even our kids said they felt like they were back in Italy. They especially loved the pizza. If you're looking for real Italian food, outstanding service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, Piciocchi's is a must. We can't wait to come back!

I was visiting from Brooklyn to see my family in the area. My friend, who's a local, told me about…read morea place that makes their own pasta and how they have a great lunch. Ok I'm in, I'm Italian, homemade pasta is right up my alley. We sat down, friendly staff (young and distant), but an extremely strange setting. It was like walking into a Wayfair showroom with a pasta kitchen. The branding was a bit horrid in my opinion, but I work in that industry, so I couldn't get over the esthetic before I even got to the food. The TV "paintings" with random art were the "highlight" truly... I'm being too kind. The wedding table numbers, really were killing me in the worst way. This place was like a mishmash of identities with no real clarity of execution or strategy on how to accomplish what they're trying to be. A crash landing of ideas with no real destination. Now the food and drink! The plates were the size of a small luggage! For starters, the "fresh" bread they offered with a rancid tasting olive oil and the tiniest drop of balsamic vinegar was appalling. The calamari was decent at best... it tasted factory made, the coating was thick and it came with the tiniest portions of sauce. I want my calamari, piping hot, with a really thin coating and a ton of sauce, that's just me. The chicken cutlet was a flavorless flour-dredged slab of meat. Barely pounded out and coated in a thin breading, with no seasoning, and it was crazy big! The Gnocchi four cheese was like eating dough turds in glue. The texture was not good at all, and reminded me of undercooked packaged pasta, and weirdly overcooked all the same time... like the water wasn't boiling and they added the pasta in while it was cold. Gnocchi should be pillowy soft and should literally fall apart in the mouth and the cheese sauce should not be like hair gel stuck to the food. It's Italian food, it's supposed to be herbaceous and well seasoned, this was food for non-Italians, who think they could like Italian food if it was just a little more bland and assimilated... without all the immigrant culture, ya know?! The best portion of the dish was the non-alcoholic drink, which is saying a lot. I genuinely hate to leave a terrible impression, but I really hated this meal, and I'm shocked by the reviews. It would seem a lot of people are here for the big portions and cheap food. Not a quality food experience. Everyone's got their own taste!

Shrimp was over cooked and like rubber, calamari was served whole not cut up and also like rubber. Sauce had a burnt taste. Had this dish many times before and always been good. Another person in our group ordered shrimp scampi and scampi sauce was like water and shrimp were like rubber. 4th person ordered a veil dish which was supposed to be in a white sauce but came with red sauce with cold mozzarella cheese. Also seemed like half the things on the menu were not available. Just a note that Angelo who usually cooks and basically runs the place was not there and whoever is now doing the cooking is not qualified. Total waste of money and never going back.

This visit wasn't the best- 13 dollars for a small plate of calamari ( normally the portion is double this photo) and it wasn't seasoned at all.

Be forewarned that although the staff were all wearing masks and they do provide hand sanitizer, this is a small restaurant and the tables are fairly close together. There are barriers between some of the tables but some don't have barriers. It didn't bother me but I figure it might bother some people. They have specials listed in the menu as well as additional specials on a board in the dining room. We ended up with three appetizers accidentally which was my fault and not the servers. Actually I'm glad it turned out that way because all three were fantastic. We had lobster ravioli with shrimp which was in a pink sauce and was fabulous. We also had fried calamari. Also delicious. And my wife ordered stuffed clams. I loved how they made the stuffed clams because instead of chopping up the clams they left the clams whole in the shells with the stuffing over the top. Loved that. For our entrées my wife ordered the Stuffed Sole. Although I didn't try it she said it was delicious. I ordered the Veal Florentine. The linguine was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce was out of this world. However, the veal itself was a little overcooked and chewy. It still doesn't take away from how good everything else was at this restaurant. If you go, I highly recommend getting a reservation. Oh, and get this: 3 appetizers, 2 Entrées, 3 cocktails and 2 beers was less than $100 with 20% tip.

We got Veal Chop and Fra Diavolo. Both were excellent. Russell's is definitely a local place with a lot of regulars from around town. The dining room decor is a bit dated but the bar is a lot more modern, and while the food was good, the service seemed a bit off each time we were there. Long waits at times. The menu has a lot of reasonably priced items, but our bill just seems to come up on the higher side for dinner. But, I guess that depends on the entreé or specials. Russell's has been around a long time and I think it will be around a lot longer. The food is good, but there is just nothing overly special there. I mostly enjoyed it, but as it is a drive for me, not something I will constantly go out of my way for.
