About

The Russo family tradition of hospitality started over 50 years ago when the Villa Russo in Richmond Hill opened its doors.  Frank Russo Sr. believed that exemplary service and exquisite cuisine combined with professional attention to detail was the best way to achieve customer satisfaction.  Those beliefs were passed down to his son, Frank Russo Jr. who opened  Russo’s on the Bay in 1987.  We have had the honor of hosting events spanning some of our customer’s lifetimes from baptisms to Communions to Sweet 16’s to Weddings.  

Our senior management team has over 200 years of combined experience directing the most lavish events and parties.  The Executive Staff’s motto is, “Imagine the Possibilities”.    We have an award-winning, highly skilled staff, proficient in all aspects of the hospitality industry.  Our staff is courteous, prepared and genuinely concerned with the success of every affair.  

At Russo’s on the Bay, we are not only in the business of executing fine events with superlative service and exemplary cuisine, but we are here to make memories that you will cherish for a lifetime.  Each one of our customers is treated like family.  

In the summer of 2010, Russo’s expanded their outside area to include a lavish garden overflowing with a variety of beautiful flowers and trellises with climbing vines along with a floating gazebo on the water; a perfect setting for picture taking. In 2011, Russo's On The Bay officially launches its 25th Anniversary Celebration to commemorate the first 25 years of operations and the beginning of another exciting 25 years.
