Hey Ladies We are going to our food tasting at Russo's tomorrow night, and just wondering how many of you have done this there. What can we expect. I do know that guys have to wear jackets and the ladies have to dress up. Is it a formal sit down? Please shed some feedback! FH and I are dying to know!!!
Thanks

Wooo Congrats on going to your tasting!
I posted about mine on the 'official' Russo's thread- yes you have to dress up (have to fit in with the people that are at w/e party is going on)
Meaning no jeans and no sneakers!
It's formal sit down- and go hungry!!
Here's what I had to say about the tasting! Just be prepared to be wowed! BTW- we went on December 2nd for ours. ---------------------------------------------------------- Just an update on the tasting- everything was FABULOUS!!! FH was very impressed (he never ate at Russo's before whereas I have).
Hugo was our waiter for the evening and answered any and all questions we had on the dishes. When the desserts (Mini Venetian) were being served, Mr. Russo himself came in and asked how everything was and answered a few questions for us as well. FH and I were treated like royalty.
I was super excited and FH was like a pig in mud literally. He went home stuffed and really not so nervous about things - which is good.
We got there a bit early - they said 9pm but we got there at 8:30pm due to the weather. There were parties going on in all three rooms so we got to see the set up for a wedding in the Tivoli and Ren rooms- everything was so beautiful! Of course we're having the Tivoli room so I was excited to see how it's set up with the dais and such. We left Russo's about 11:30pm-12 midnight and both of us were so very happy.

Definitely go hungry. You will be getting the selections (except for you entree) of the affair that is going on at the same time. The food is unbelievable! I believe they will show you the set up of the Viienesse hour if you are having that. Did you go to the showcase the other night? Do they have the new china?

Thanks for posting! I wasn't at the showcase the other night, but I will ask for you tonight about the new china and let you know! I'm curious myself!!!

I hope it goes well As a guest two years ago we didn't care for the food. It could have been an off night

Wow...Amazing Tasting! Everything from the bread and appetizer down to the entree and desserts...we were so happy! We each ordered something different and FH couldn't decide between the Osso Bucco and the Veal Chop and they brought us out one of each...even the service was outstanding! I can't wait for our wedding!!! 8 Weeks from today!
