Make Russo’s Your Go-To Spot for Lunch and Dinner This Lent

The Lenten season is here, and for many, that means observing meatless Fridays. But just because you’re skipping meat doesn’t mean you have to miss out on flavor! At Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen, we take pride in offering a diverse selection of mouthwatering meat-free and seafood dishes, ensuring your Fridays during Lent are anything but boring.

From classic Italian favorites to savory seafood specialties, Russo’s is the perfect destination for a delicious and satisfying meal. Whether you're dining in, ordering takeout, or getting delivery, we have to make your Lenten Fridays both convenient and flavorful.

A Feast of Flavorful Meatless Options

If you're looking for a Classic Italian dish without meat, Russo’s has you covered with our signature Margherita pizza. Made with fresh mozzarella, tangy tomato sauce, and fragrant basil, this pizza is a simple yet flavorful choice for your Lenten meal.

Want something with a little more variety? Try our Vegetarian pizza, loaded with fresh vegetables like mushrooms, olives, spinach, and peppers. It’s a colorful and satisfying way to enjoy a meatless meal while still indulging in Russo’s famous hand-tossed, New York-style pizza.

For pasta lovers, our Fettuccine Alfredo is a rich and creamy delight, featuring house-made fettuccine tossed in a Pecorino Romano sauce crafted with Sicilian extra-virgin olive oil. If you’re craving something even more indulgent, try our handmade ricotta cheese ravioli, served with your choice of homemade marinara or Alfredo sauce.

Seafood Selections to Savor

If you prefer seafood, our Shrimp Scampi is a must-try. We sauté plump Gulf shrimp in a delightful mix of Pinot Grigio, lemon, and garlic sauce, then serve them over fettuccine pasta with capers and fresh tomatoes for a dish bursting with bold flavors.

For those who enjoy a little heat, our Shrimp Fra Diavolo is a spicy and satisfying option. Succulent shrimp are simmered in a fiery tomato sauce infused with the perfect amount of spice, giving you a dish that’s full of zest and character.

Start Off with Something Special

Lenten Fridays at Russo’s don’t have to start with just the main course—our appetizers and salads are perfect for setting the stage for a memorable meal. Enjoy a classic Bruschetta, featuring fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic on toasted crostini bread. Or opt for a Caprese salad, made with creamy mozzarella, vine-ripened tomatoes, and fresh basil drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze.
