Yarusso Bros. has operated on Payne Avenue since 1933, making it St. Paul's oldest family-owned Italian restaurant. It's stayed in the Yarusso family across generations, anchoring the Railroad Island neighborhood with a traditional Italian-American menu built around red-sauce staples.
Beyond the main dining room, the restaurant runs a banquet room used for private events and corporate lunches, and offers catering for parties and holidays. It's developed a reputation as a neighborhood fixture, with regulars citing the service and old-school atmosphere as reasons they keep coming back.
