Villa Russo

Dear George
Thank you again for an outstanding affair. A special thank you to Joe from DaSilvana's for recommending me to the best....VILLA RUSSO!

To George,
I want to thank you very much for a beautiful Christening on July 10th for Joseph Thomas. It has been a few years since I was at Villa Russo. Suzanne took care of us like she had known us forever. Eric attended to all our needs and more. All of your staff were very dedicated to their job. Your being there made the event so special. You spoke to my friend about your grandmother and I spoke to you about my daughter's future wedding
at Russo's on the Bay. You made us feel like one big family. Thank you
again for generosity. You went beyond
our expectations.
Growing up this work was hard
YES..."Now it is Fun.
Sincerely
Janet Bonino

Kim, we were blown away by your gift in managing the wait staff who acted with such charisma.

Thank you for anticipating our needs!

o all the staff- We were awed by your work and dedication.

Thank you! Wedding date 11/7/09

Today I attended the annual Letter Carriers function at your fine establishment as i have done so in the past with my husband. As always, the food was delicious and cant wait for the coffee to come out to have with dessert. The reason for my letter is simple . To Praise our waiter Rudy who had patience with the elders at our table. Renee who was fabulous; never stopped moving like the energizer bunny and a wonderful personality.

In this day & age of hearing "negative" items I thought it would be nice to read the "good stuff"
look forward to seeing everyone next year! keep up with the fabulous work as well as Rudy & Renee.

Have a good week!
Sincerely,
Donna M. Newman

My brother had his wedding reception at Villa Russo.The quality of food and service is just exceptional. All the guests were so happy and raving about how beautiful the palace and grotto rooms were. My brother and his wife choose the Supreme Feast package and what a choice! It was true Italian family-style portions. So much great food and variety to go around. Cocktail hour was wonderful. Aside from the excellent food, open bar and beautiful ambience, words cannot explain the unrivaled service at Villa Russo. Kim, our Maitre'd was so helpful and reassuring. She was so kind and attentive, she was always there when needed, and even helped to accommodate 2 additional guests last minute. The waitstaff and bartender were so great too. All of the guests were so happy with the service. The staff continuously came around to ask if anything was needed. The staff helped to set up everything so beautifully before the party. And at the end of the reception they helped to b!
ring gifts to the car, pass out favors and doggie bags of food for family to take home. Even administration came over to see that everything was to the couple's liking - thanks Suzanne. Thanks Kim, thanks Villa Russo staff. I'm definitely having my wedding there and I really appreciate your making my brother and his wife's day so special.

First things first! Let it be known that our 10 year wedding anniversary was being organized from Arizona! We found Villa Russo on a bridal website and gravitated to it from the beautiful pictures alone. From the moment we contacted Suzanne for a contract, we knew we had chosen the right place! Betsy was so great in answering the million emails, calls and yahoo IMs (LOL!). Our Maitre'D Kim-GOD BLESS HER!! The Blizzard of 2009 took our reception hostage and many of my guests could not attend. Those that were able to were almost stranded! Kim went above and beyond to get my guests and family members rides back home! Both Betsy and Kim are soooooooo amazing!!! Thank you Suzanne and George for the warm wishes and comforting words. We were keeping it cool because what else is there to do right! Keep the party going!

Dear George & Staff,

Just a note to say thank you for making my daughters wedding one of the most wonderful days of my life. I cant begin to explain how wonderful everything was. Your staff, especially Kim was the best one could ask for. She was extremely attentive & even got my husbands' ring when it went down the drain. Everyone raved about the food& the service. All of the staff from the restroom attendant to the waitstaff & bartender did a great job! Again thank you & Suzanne for all you did and all the extras you gave us! I could not have asked for a more wonderful reception! I will make sure i recommend your place to everyone i know!

Thanks again,

Lily & Frank Reynolds

I just want to extend my appreciation for the phenominal job you all did at my daughter's Costume party Sweet 16 spooktacular!! The food was incredible. My family and friends are still raving about it. The service could not be beat. Everything or anything we asked for was done immediately. Eric made sure all our needs were met, from food to drink.

The entire night was great from start to finish. Thank you, I know we will see you again.

A small note to tell you the staff i had on August, 19 for Mr & Mrs Garone's Anniversary was fantastic. Our Maitre'D Eric, Bartender Orlando and all of the waitstaff were wonderful. It meant so much to us & also your coming at the end.

Our high school reunion was very special indeed. Suzanne and Betsy were instrumental in getting everything together for me. When I walked into the room on the day of the reunion I noticed a change in the way the tables were arranged. Eric took it upon himself to rearrange the tables and what a magnificent job he did. We were all amazed at the sight of the room! Eric was wonderful. His attentiveness to details were amazing. He helped me every step of the way and was at my side whenever I needed him. Eric contributed to the success of that evening and it was because of him we had a fantastic time at Villa Russo. The feedback I received about Eric and the wait-staff was excellent. I highly recommend Villa Russo. The Grotto Room was a sight to behold and the service was truly incredible. Thank you so much for making our event a memorable one!

Thank you so much. Love, Teresa and David Rivera

We wanted to take this time out to thank all, literally all, of the staff of the Villa Russo for making our wedding day celebration so special. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We enjoyed and appreciate all of the hospitality and respect shown from the time we started the booking process through our reception. Betsy was a blessing and made all our requests for accommodations become a reality. The food and service to our guests was excellent, as was the attention displayed to Jessica and me. Kim was awesome with us and really worked hard to ensure our happiness and that of our guests. We just wanted to say thank you for everything and best wishes.

I attended a wedding at Villa Russo that was absolutely amazing. The service and professionalism of your staff was exceptional, especially Charday and Krista (apologies if I spelled your names wrong). The ballroom was extraordinary! Thank you for a great night!

Sincerely, Ana Bisono

Villa Russo was the only thing that went right for my wedding. My experience there was amazing, the hall was beautiful and so were the people. My Maitre'd Kim was perfect and very attentive. We were very content with her services. She was very good with my son, friendly & sincere. Kim is an asset to Villa Russo. The only thing we felt needed to be worked on was the cake but the food was amazing as well.

Thank You for everything
