Led by Chef Anthony Russo, the restaurant brings together decades of experience, family recipes, premium ingredients, and the warm feeling of a true New York Italian table.

Meet Chef Anthony Russo
Born into a family of first-generation Italian-American immigrants, Chef Anthony Russo grew up surrounded by Southern Italian cooking, family tradition, and the kind of hospitality that makes every guest feel at home.
At just 18 years old, Chef Russo opened the first Russo's New York Pizzeria in 1992 with one vision: to bring true New York Italian cuisine, made with fresh, authentic ingredients, to guests around the world.
Today, Chef Russo brings that same passion to Anthonys New York Italian in River Oaks, a fresh scratch kitchen built around pasta, pizza, Italian food, extra virgin olive oil, and family recipes inspired by the great Italian restaurants of New York City.
