La Famiglia

The story behind the table.

Southern Italian family tradition, New York energy, and the belief that hospitality should feel generous and personal.

Meet Chef Anthony Russo

Cooking shaped by family, built for sharing.

Born into a first-generation Italian-American family, Chef Anthony Russo grew up surrounded by Southern Italian cooking and the kind of hospitality that makes guests feel at home.

At 18, he opened the first Russo's New York Pizzeria with a simple ambition: serve true New York Italian food made from fresh, carefully chosen ingredients. Anthony's brings that same conviction to a polished River Oaks dining room.
