My favorite restaurant in all of Phoenix and surrounding area. Chef Michael inspects every plate before it's served. The service is impeccable, food wonderful and we always have a wonderful time and experience when we can get here. I always recommend this place to my family and friends. It's a smaller place which I love. Very personal and wonderful!

Had the most amazing New Year's Eve dinner! Everything was so flavorful, we all cleaned our plates so delicious. Highly recommend Rusconi's! Staff was fabulous as well

We love Rusconi's and go there frequently. Scallops are particularly outstanding, as is the lamb. Their wine list is quite outstanding, although they stopped carrying a NZ Central Otago Pinot Noir that I wish they would bring back. Green chile mac n cheese is stellar and a fave for my husband. We haven't been for brunch yet - but plan on heading there soon for a weekend breakfast.

Went here for restaurant week and had some good dishes and some mediocre dishes. The short rib and dates were really good, and the buratta dish was also pretty tasty. However the pea risotto was pretty bland, though the presentation was pretty. The basque cheesecake was also a bit meh. I haven't met one a basque cheesecake I've loved yet and this was not the exception. It wasn't bad it just wasn't very creamy or flavorful. I'm also someone who likes graham cracker crust though which this type doesn't have. Service was great though!

Had not been here in 9 years! It was 5 Stars then and is still 5 Stars! Took some friends there as a thank you at their suggestion and it happened to be Fathers day (we are all grand parents and did not think about that). Half ordered off the Fathers day menu and the other half off the regular menu. I waited too long to write this review so I can not give you more details other than there was nothing but smiles on our faces and it was not just because of wine special we partook of. See pictures!!!

We came here for our anniversary (16 years). We were treated very well by the staff. Very surprised to see an anniversary card waiting for us at our table. It was signed by the staff and the owner/Chef Michael and his wife. Started with a Watermelon and lemon cello martini and a chocolate martini. We usually don't drink alcohol but it was a special occasion. Chef Michael came over to introduce himself and presented us with a sample of his watermelon salad. Other starters were the Tomato gaspatcio (which was awesome) with blue crab and Beet salad with whipped ricotta. I had the Short ribs with baby carrots and broccolini. The meat melted off the bone. Hubby had the Salmon with Brussel sprouts and tiny potatoes Desert was the Dark chocolate bread pudding with homemade vanilla ice cream. Yummy! Appreciated that the leftovers were packaged in containers not plastic! Have to say that this was one of the most memorable of anniversary dinners. Thank you to the owners and all of the staff especially our server Austin.

I am a vegetarian, so that you know. The is just one main dish that is vegetarian, and it was the English pea rizzotto. So creamy and savory with the carrots and green beans with a buttery saltiness and the earthiness of fennel. That dish in itself is worth the visit. Next time, I would pair a salad with a bit more citrus in it as I had a special heirloom tomato ricotta, which was nice and light and earthy. The broccolini had a palette cleansing effect, so very nice after the rizzotto. The Madagascar vanilla ice cream was so different it made me wonder if all vanilla ice cream is supposed to be that way. Overall, I could not rate this place better for the above dishes and service our our waiter Curtis. I can see why it was #1 on TripAdvisor.

My friend and I have been here a few times now. Again, absolutely loving this place. This time, we met friends here. We were a party of 4, for a 6:00 p.m. Friday dinner. I made the reservation on Open Table and requested to be seated more in the front area. When we arrived it was so nice to see my request was honored. The restaurant was bustling with people at both bar and tables. Our server Kristin was fabulous, friendly and very attentive, giving us time to catch-up in conversation and not rushing us. We ordered cocktail while deciding on what to order. Appetizers ordered were the Charred Baby Octopus, Pan Roasted Gulf Shrimp, Roasted Beets with Citrus Frisée and Amish Blue Cheese salad and the Roasted Cremini Mushroom Bisque. All the appetizers were fantastic. I had the Baby Octopus, charred and cooked perfectly. Entrees ordered were Maple Leaf Farms Breast of Duck, Butternut Squash Risotto, Grilled Sustainable Salmon and Mussels. All the dishes came out looking wonderful and tasting great! Cheers to another wonderful evening at Rusconi's.
