Best Wineries in La Cantera

Christmas Day dinner was excellent along with the service. Ethan was an outstanding server and made the evening wonderful and a huge breath of fresh air from an already stressful Christmas trip to San Antonio. Food portions are just right. I had one of the best, if not THE best, linguini carbonara plates ever. My stepsons enjoyed their food as well as my wife. The wine selection was perfect as they have a right balance of variety and price points to accommodate those that like moderately priced bottles and some higher priced ones like Silver Oak and Stags Leap. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend.

North Italia at The Rim made our Christmas Eve truly special! Their General Manager, Eric, greeted us warmly, surprising me as a fellow Eagles fan (wearing a Saquon Barkley jersey my son gave me) and treated us to a complimentary appetizer. To our delight, it was the “CACIO E PEPE ARANCINI” (deep-fried risotto balls), which my husband and I had been eyeing—absolutely delicious! My husband stayed loyal to his favorite, the Tuscan Half Chicken, while I indulged in their perfectly crafted Margherita pizza pie. Paired with a bottle of Montepulciano D’Abruzzo Umani Ronchi “Podere”, the meal was a holiday treat. The service was impeccable, and the festive ambiance elevated the experience. Thank you, North Italia, for the spectacular food and service. And to Eric: “Go Birds!”

I took my visiting family to celebrate Christmas for a Christmas Eve afternoon dinner and our belated anniversary dinner. It was our first visit. The reserve table was waiting, the service was very professional [even though our waiter got part of our order wrong — but everything was quickly corrected]. There were plenty of wonderful choices for my vegetarian daughter and grandchildren with dietary restrictions. All the food was cooked to perfection. All the dishes were packed with flavor for a subtle gourmand experience. The wine list was impressive, but I had to forego tasting on my doctor’s order. Everyone had a wonderful time enjoying well cook food that was serve with an artistic presentation. I will definitely return more often.

Had a group of ten for a special event, and it was perfect. The food was excellent and the service was spectacular. We eat here fairly often for the delicious Italian food, but this was the first special event we've had at Russo's. A+++

Great service. Fun time. Food so so. Drinks great!!
