My friend and I had a delicious brunch yesterday! She had the chiliquiles (sp?) and I had the special Benedict with beef tenderloin on fried heirloom tomatoes with 2 poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. Both were amazing!! We finished it off with the beignets which were also delicious! It was a nice relaxed meal with great service. Heather is a gem!!!

Loved that they had 1/2 off bottles on Sunday. Food was just ok. The photos with thick layers of mascarpone did not deliver to the table. Fingerling potatoes were good. We ordered both French toasts the special Benedict with steak over heirloom tomato and green chili chili Quiles. This restaurant is around a 30 minutes drive and I wouldn’t go back for brunch. I’d be open to trying it for lunch. I’m sure they do brunch to get business from over easy which is right next door. Felt like we went to the wrong place. My friend really enjoyed the grits. The servers were very nice and service was good.

Our dinner last night was amazing!!! We brought our friends and we all ordered a different entree, each of which was cooked perfectly and presented with perfection . There is no doubt that Chef /owner Michael takes great pride in assuring a wonderful experience for his guests AT REASONABLE PRICES. There are no other restaurants where we have eaten (and we’ve been to the big names in town) where the quality of food is superior and Ruscanis certainly beats their pricing. Fritz, our server, was a hoot and very personable and knowledgeable about the menu. We can’t wait to return!

The only disappointment is that my water glass was completely empty at the end of my meal. The staff came to remove our plates but no one asked whether I need more water or even refill it. Since we finished the bottle of wine already, I ended up drinking from my friend's glass of water instead. Food isI great, good portion and service is fast. Will visit again.

Very good food. If you are a vegetarian, not many options but it was good. They were very accommodating. Everyone else really enjoyed their meals! Excellent cocktails and dessert was awesome. Service was good. You can tell they take pride in what they do and the food they put out. Great spot for a date or out with a few friends. Not a place for kids.

We tried Rusconi’s after seeing them featured on the news for AZ Restaurant Week, and it was by far the best meal we’ve had!! We ordered the dates with bacon and cheese, and the grilled watermelon and arugula salad as starters - both were excellent. The pork tenderloin entree was superb, the filet and accompanying veggies were devoured, and the desserts were fantastic. We will definitely be back!!! Rusconi’s is a HIT!!

Chef Michael Rusconi has the right formula and balance. I always enjoy my meal here whether as a couple with my wife or with friends. You can’t find this quality for the value anywhere else in the Valley. Go on Sunday for half price on select bottles of wine. And don’t forget the bread pudding for dessert. I think either flavor is the best I’ve ever had.

Hamburger under cooked. But charred on the outside. By the time I received it cooked correctly, the other three people at the table had finished their entrees. When the second burger came there were no condiments with it. One of the steaks was over cooked. Waiter was rather detached from the entire experience. We have dined here before. Good experiences, but one bad night. Easy parking, great bartender. Wife scallops were good and one of the steaks was cooked correctly,

The gazpacho was good - the crab was a nice touch. The pork tenderloin was rather boring - not a lot of flavor from the treatment or accompaniments, and the brussels sprouts needed to be cooked through. The saving grace was that the amount was satisfactory. The brie cheesecake was nice, but not especially out of the ordinary - which is what I had expected by the use of brie.

Rusconi's is our go too restaurant for fine dining when in Phoenix. Salmon always perfectly made. Try their new appetizer, dates stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in bacon served on a goat cheese puree. Yum. And the lemoncello martini oh my. Staff always kind and attentive. Go to Rusconi's you won't regret your visit.

Perfectly prepared scallops are hard to find. Rusconi's has them. The texture, the seasonings, the temperature and the accompanying vegetables were spot on! All four of our entres were devoured, including the pork tenderloins, the beef tenderloins, and the risotto. We all joined the "Clean Plate Club". The daily special salad was incredible. I wish I remembered the specifics, but it was a caprese salad on steroids....delicious. The daily special Elvis dessert, peanut butter and banana cheesecake was a perfect ending. One of our party tried the special blueberry cheesecake, but that was a disappointment to her. She requested, and graciously received, the Elvis cheesecake instead. That was nice of Rusconi's to do. The strawberry creme brulee and the chocolate bread pudding rounded out our meals. Near perfection. All in all, Rusconi's nailed it and is quickly becoming a favorite of ours.
