Yarusso Bros Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Saint Paul

My boyfriend & I chose Yarusso’s due to his nostalgia of sharing meals with his family here. It was a terrible disappoint; customer service & eye contact from our waitress were poor. Well, she made eye contact with him, appropriately smiled, and asked him questions. For me it got to the point that I deliberately attempted to make eye contact on the rare occasions she glanced in my direction. When she placed the bill on the table, she made eye contact with him and slid it toward his half of the table. She did not simply place it and leave either.

This was not my first appearance with my white, middle aged boyfriend; we have never experienced anything like this. Maybe she was prejudiced about the noticeable age difference. I’m in my early 30s, and he is in his late 40s. Maybe race was the issue. Despite my attraction to him, “hot” is not a descriptive word one would use. This is not a situation where a woman forgets her duties and obligations for work due to overwhelming good looks. (That’s Inexcusable all the same.) Of course my boyfriend had never experienced such egregiously poor service there, or “ever” apparently, and he has been a patron for decades. If you are not an interracial couple or are closer in age, you’ll experience the wonderful service my boyfriend is accustomed...

In my 20 years of life on earth I’ve got to say, I haven’t had a dining experience better than this one for the cost. The food was amazing and came out less than 20 minutes after ordering. A meal will average $15-20 per person, and for the cost the food was absolutely amazing. You can tell the chef puts a lot of care into their craft. Nothing felt or tasted cheap or underprepared, and the food came out steaming hot, so you know it wasn’t pre-prepped. The atmosphere here is amazing too. The workers are super friendly, but not in the weird way, in the way that they seem like they’re genuinely happy to see you. While me and my friend were sitting down waiting for our food a server was walking around offering extra pizza to the customers, and let me tell you, that square of pizza he gave me was quite literally the best pizza I’ve ever tasted. No exaggeration there. The fettuccine Alfredo I ordered as my main course was amazing too. I had a side of French fries as well and those were also great. Overall a 10/10 experience. Great food, great atmosphere, and great workers. Looking forward to stopping here again if I ever see myself back...

Yarusso Bros is a wonderful restaurant not only for dinning in, taking out, and catering! I recently had the pleasure of working with them to establish the wonderful meal I’ll be having at my wedding with 270 guests. Jerry did an amazing job working with us by providing a very professional tasting. We had many various options to choose from for items. I was very relieved to learn they are also providing assistance with serving and clean up. This includes bringing in all of the serving ware, tins with warmers, guest plates, and utensils. Allowing for again, stress free day! We chose: meat sauce mostaccioli, Alfredo mostaccioli, small meatballs, chicken parmesan, Italian sausage, Italian salad, and Italian bread. Anything we asked to taste, he promptly brought it out hot and delicious! Jerry did not hesitate to answer any of the many questions we had. I cannot stress enough how relaxing and perfect this experience is! Jerry makes sure beyond each of your ideas and wants. I highly recommend anyone to Yarusso Bros! I cannot wait to share my favorite local Italian spot with my out of state soon to...
