My sisters ( 3 of us) eat here frequently, maybe once a week for a long time now. We love it! It is a family run business with authentic Italian cuisine, with recipes that the owner’s parents brought over when they moved here from Italy....Their son and his family now run this wonderful Inn with “that old time”, comfortable feel! They have a very rustic true “INN” feel to this restaurant that you just can not find anywhere else, any longer! It is sad that wonderful places like this are quickly disappearing and are fast becoming a “ thing of the past.” “The FOSTER HOUSE”( an Inn that was on Main St in Westfield, now out of businesss), “THE SHERATON INN”( not connected to chain but in fact an actual “INN” that used to be located on Rt 20 in Westfield), tge recently moved “YANKEE PEDLAR INN”, in Holyoke along with so many others...”gone”, so it is sooooo important to go to this wonderful “RUSSELL INN”, to make sure they remain viable and in business! This “Russell Inn” is “ALWAYS BUSY” so no danger of that here but it is important to keep wonderful places like this full of loyal customers! This restaurant has specials each day, are open for lunch and dinner and have a very extensive menu with extremely inexpensive prices for lunch and inexpensive to moderate prices, depending on what you order naturally, for dinner! They offer a full choice of cocktails, beer and wine! Their homemade soup and pasta sauce is homemade along with every single item( including desserts!) on their menu! Their spaghetti sauce has been passed down for generations! I recommended their “Chicken Franchisee” or “Eggplant Parmigiana” wholeheartedly! Their Calarmari is to die for and their Rueben sandwich is excellent! Steaks and chops are cooked “perfectly!” Their salad is done up when ordered and does not have lettuce, few carrots thinly sliced w/ one tomato but is loaded with “all the vegetables that salads should( used to at other places but sadly no longer) have w/ owners homemade salad dressing! He even makes up his homemade bread fresh, each day! Amazing and you can taste the difference! The service is quick, friendly, knowledgeable and food comes out in a timely fashion! Our servers each time check to see if we need anything, how are food is and is quick to anticipate a need but does not hover at the same time, keeping a watchful eye from a distance regardless of how many parties she or he are waiting on! Fantastic service! This cute little Inn has a “pub/Inn” feel to it that I love with booths on either side of entrance( they have meeting space I saw on their side window front) in a casual atmosphere. In closing...”GO HERE!” It is a lovely, short 10 min ride from Westfield, Ma center! You will never be disappointed and whatever you order at this lovely Inn you are sure to love, returning to order and reorder it again & again( yup! that is “me!” Ha!)! The owner and chef whom is “ALWAYS THERE COOKING AND WHIPPING UP SPECIAL, CREATIVE ENTREES, also has very innovative and wonderful dishes that he prepares from time to time, which is a shock to see on the menu of this lovely Inn! They are decidedly delicious and I always bring some home for my husband (not tiny, minuscule amounts of food, either)! “YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO GO TO “THE RUSSELL INN” to enjoy the special ambience in this quaint Inn setting, enjoying delicious meals at an authentic Inn, that seemingly has been in business for many generations, preparing the same high quality food!More
