It’s time for another edition of Del Paggio’s and Del Paggio’s Pantry Grade. But today, today only, we’re doing another review of Russo’s Pizzeria. But there’s a reason for it, and it’s a special reason. And I want to explain a special reason.A week ago, I had gone to lunch with Don, one of the owners. He, Don, and his wife, Katarina, own Russo’s, both locations. And I was having lunch with Don, and he mentioned about they were going to be getting calamari rings. And I said, wow, that’s really good.And they’re going to be only having them at the father location, which is just past Shields, because they have two deep fryers. That way one’s for fish, one’s for everything else. Great idea. Clovis doesn’t have that, but Fresno does. Anyways, I was really excited about it. Well, two days later,we had been invited to dinner by Don and Katarina to test out some of the different foods. And Patty and I went there, and we spent the night, and we were talking about some other things, which hopefully I’ll be talking about on Del Paggio soon.But anyways, we were there, and he was all excited because they had gotten the calamari rings. So he brought out an order. Now, I am not a huge calamari fan, whether it’s rings, fried calamari, stuffed squid, whatever. I had it so much as a kid, I kind of just lost my enthusiasm about it.Well, anyways, the rings came out, and I was dying to try them. They were lightly battered, and they were crispy. They were tender. Now, I know rings, okay, because restaurants I’ve worked in always had calamari rings. Sometimes those rings can be tender. Other times they can be tough like rubber, just like squid is and everything else.These rings, the ones I ate, were all tender. I didn’t have one tough one. Patty didn’t have any. I don’t think Don did. I don’t think Katarina did. No one said that, oh, this is a tough one. Nobody complained. They were all very good. They were very tasty. They were very tender.We had a little dipping sauce, cocktail sauce for them, but you could eat them plain. That’s how great the batter was. It wasn’t real thick. It wasn’t real thin. It was just right. It was kind of crunchy, fluffy. They were excellent. Now, look, I can go on and on and on about the calamari rings. And I should.But I’m going to also talk about we had pizza. We had two different types of pizza. The pizza there is always excellent. The sauce is good. The meats are fresh. The cheese is fresh. Everything is excellent. We really haven’t had a bad meal there. And Patty and I have eaten here a few times.And I haven’t done reviews on everything, and I should. And I will. But... But just recently, just the times I go with my grandson or I go with Patty or I just go, it’s been excellent. But that night, the calamari rings were the hit of the night.Along with the wine we had, we had a great wine that Don’s brother had chosen. So I’ve got to give him kudos for the wine list because he did a great job. This wine was excellent. But those calamari rings, listen, if you live in the San Marquis Valley or the Central Valley, let’s go that way.We don’t want to go too far up. Central Valley, and you either live in Fresno or Clovis or you come in to visit, go to Russo’s on Fowler. And get the calamari rings. You have to try them. You have to taste them. They are excellent. And it’s a good-sized platter on top of it.I mean, it’s not just a one-person platter. Four of us ate off of it. So that gives you an idea. And we have some, you know, Don’s a pretty big guy. I’m a big guy. So it filled us up. It made it hard to eat pizza afterwards, to be honest with you. But they were excellent.Oh, yeah, we had some chicken wings. That’s what it was, I wanted to say. That’s for another review because I want to have another review. But let me tell you, the chicken wings were unbelievable. And I’ll talk about those in another review soon, coming soon. But anyways, enjoy your day. This is Mark.This is Del Pagio’s and Del Pagio’s Pantry Raid. We’re out of here for today. This is a public episode.
