our story

The Russo Family

Raffaele
Manuel
Luca

Since 1996, the Russo family has brought the taste of authentic Neapolitan cuisine to Monte-Carlo.

The Russo family’s journey began with Raffaele and Giuseppe, two brothers from Naples. In 1970, they opened their first Osteria in Naples, sharing their love for traditional cooking. Their passion for food and hospitality led them to Monaco, where Raffaele opened Il Terrazzino in 1996. This became the first traditional Neapolitan restaurant in Monte-Carlo and quickly gained a loyal following.

Inspired by their success with Il Terrazzino, the Russo family opened Il Giardino on Boulevard d’Italie. Here, they continue to share their love for Neapolitan cuisine, offering both classic dishes and authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas. Today, Il Giardino and Il Terrazzino are proudly managed by the brother Manuel and Luca, ensuring that every meal remains a celebration of Naples with warm hospitality and delicious food that make you feel at home.
