Influencer’s 10-year-old daughter’s savage restaurant reviews go viral as she slams top-rated eateries across Europe
She is one of Australia’s most popular influencers.
But Rozalia Russian is facing competition from her daughter Willow, whose scathing restaurant reviews have gone viral.
Rozalia is currently enjoying a sunny trip through Europe with her husband Nick and their children Willow, 10, and Kingston, 6.
Brunette and bar owner Nick treat their children to delicious meals in Michelin-starred restaurants as they travel through Italy and France on the trip of a lifetime.
But their daughter Willow wasn’t so impressed with her food choices, and spent the entire vacation writing scathing reviews of restaurants.
Rozalia, who contracted food poisoning at a French restaurant, shares Willow’s hilarious insights, leaving her fans in fits of laughter.
Like her father Nick, who owns the popular Melbourne bar Bar Bambi, Willow has a passion for hospitality and could pursue a career as a critic.
The latest review was written by the young man when the family visited Ristorante Nabucco in Milan. The restaurant has received four stars online from enthusiastic customers.
The Italian restaurant is described as ‘a work of art in the heart of Milan’ and shows off its artful dishes on Instagram, but it seems Willow wasn’t having any of it.
Rozalia Russian’s daughter Willow, whom she shares with husband Nick, has gone viral for her scathing restaurant reviews, criticizing the best restaurants across Europe
Although she gave the dish a generous 8.5/10, she recounted how her younger brother Kingston hysterically referred to his chicken cotoletta as a “chicken lollipop.”
She went on to describe the food as “just okay.”
In her review she wrote: ‘Nabucco Milano. We arrived here after checking out mom’s shop which was closed. DISAPPOINTED. We arrived and got a good table.
‘Drinks: Mom, white wine. Dad, red wine. Kingston, water. Me, water.
‘Food: Mom, Osso Buco with risotto. Porridge, Osso Buco with risotto. Kingston: Chicken Cotoletta. I, Chicken Cotoletta.
‘While we waited for our food, BORING Kingston was learning how to use Pinterest and decorating his new room in the house, but he kept everything until now.
‘His new room is blue, green, orange with a basketball court and a slide in it… oh, and bunk beds.
‘Kingston refused to eat his because there was a drip of gravy on it and then mom licked it off and then he refused to eat it because mom licked it and called it a chicken lollipop and mom said IT’S ACTUALLY VEAL.’
Despite dining in some of Europe’s most luxurious restaurants, Willow, 10, has been left unimpressed by some of the options and has shared her opinion in scathing reviews
‘Overall we had to wait 30 minutes for our food, the food was ok, not AMAZING or INCREDIBLE, just ok. I give it a 8.5/10.’
It is not the first time that the budding food critic has written a scathing review, having previously criticised some of Paris’s most famous restaurants.
After dining at a luxury restaurant in the French capital, Willow described her fish dish as “horrible” and said she had also eaten a “weird cheese dish”.
Rozalia fans have been laughing at the young man’s unfiltered insights into some of Europe’s best eateries, which are clearly not to the taste of all 10-year-olds.
One fan responded to her reviews by writing, “Can you continue with this?” while another said, “My favorite travel journals so far.”
A third wrote: ‘I’m scared to serve Willow now, her reviews are brutal,’ and a fourth commented: ‘Mmm… I love her reviews haha.’

Sisters Amy, Sophie and Kate Taeuber also discussed Willows reviews on their Outspoken podcastand admitted that restaurant owners were irritated by her rude comments.
Regarding Rozalia and Nick taking their young children to Michelin-starred restaurants, they said, “The funniest thing is that the fancy restaurants don’t really impress the kids.”
They argued that Willow should start writing her insights on TripAdvisor after she took issue with the staggering price of $1,060 (EUR 660) at a restaurant in Paris.
“I really think Willow should get on TripAdvisor and bash the Louvre restaurant,” they said.
“I had to laugh because for some reason I got the idea that maybe she had a little notebook where she wrote all this down, but she kept a journal in the notes section of her mom’s phone.”
In addition to Willow’s disapproval of the fancy restaurants, Rozalia also suffered from food poisoning after eating at a Michelin-starred restaurant near the Louvre in Paris.
Last week she shared on Instagram that she wasn’t that hungry and decided to order a “light meal”: a salad Nicoise. She said it made her seriously ill.
In addition to Willow’s disapproval of the fancy restaurants, Rozalia also suffered from food poisoning after eating a salade Nicoise (pictured) at a Michelin-starred restaurant near the Louvre in Paris.
‘Last night in Paris we had dinner here. The view was breathtaking. I wasn’t hungry so I ordered something light and then… Food poisoning!!’ she wrote.
“It was also our travel day. Between being sick, I would say 10 times that morning sweating and shivering. I have no idea how I got through airport security, two flights and a car transfer.
“Would rank it as one of the worst days of my life! Food poisoning is hell! Goodbye, never eat tuna.”
Although she had been prescribed anti-nausea tablets at the airport, Rozalia confessed that she felt extremely unwell during the journey to Italy.
“I couldn’t even stand up. I had to sit down. My whole body hurt,” she said. “Long story, it was one of the worst days of my life.”
