Reviews
"I'm writing this review after 4 visits to this beautiful estate. There is a broad variety of food with starters, mains and deserts. No matter what you choose, Russo do everything very, very well. Their local, fresh produce is always prepared to perfection. The wine list is massive and being a vineyard the wines are superb .The staff are very knowledgeable and can always recommend a great wine based on your meal. The service is excellent with staff having just the right amount of attentiveness. Youre never kept waiting and your not being interrupted too often either. Best of all this has been my experience each of the 4 times I've been there. Highly recommended, 10/10."
"The service was very good. Very noisy when there was alot of people in main area.The food was ltalian style.The lasagne was tasty.The lamb shank was mostly bone. Overall a good experience."
"Meals were Amazing, Staff were very knowledgeable about local and international cuisine. We got a window Seat and even though it was raining the view on the veggie patch to the vineyard. Breathtaking."
"Friendly service, delicious food and lovely atmosphere. We were there on a Friday Italian live music night. The music was too loud for us to have a conversation. Had to wait between songs to have chat. Will avoid live music night next time. Overall, a lovely night out."
"Venue was nice. Food was standard - presentation was ok but the lamb was not thoroughly cooked so it was hard to chew and the salmon was well over cooked. The bitter brown sauce over the lamb just really did not pair and was a weird tasting combination. Overpriced for the quality of the food. It was more like a pub meal to be honest. Service could be better. Would come back to try other dishes (maybe pastas or pizzas) out of convenience sake and to enjoy the winery view as we live close by."
