Locals enjoy Russo’s

    When in search for local, authentic Italian food, stop by Russo’s Pizza and Family Restaurant in Downtown Hamburg! Russo’s Pizza and Family Restaurant is located next to The Hamburg Strand on Fourth Street. Owners, Maria and Giovanni Amato, have been working in the food industry since childhood and have been operating their own restaurants for over 30 years. During childhood, both Maria and Giovanni worked in family-run restaurants in Italy, therefore both are very experienced with homemade Italian cuisine. They currently run Russo’s Pizza and Family Restaurant with the help of their four daughters, including junior, Val Amato. She says “My parents have been running their own restaurants for over 30 years. They love what they do, which is great.”

    For five years, Russo’s Pizza and Family Restaurant has been providing the community with delicious Italian entrées such as spaghetti with sauce, chicken alfredo over linguine, veal parmesan, and many more. Russo’s Pizza and Family Restaurant also sells strombolis, hot / cold subs made with fresh bread, appetizers, salads, and soups. Although those foods are highly enjoyed by customers, especially the cheesesteaks, Russo’s Pizza and Family Restaurant would not be complete without the pizza. There are many variations of pizza available, such as meat lovers, veggie, Hawaiian, bacon chicken ranch, and many more.
