Hands down the most flavorful restaurant that we have been to in Arizona. I am a picky eater and I was surprised how good everything thing was. There were four of us and everyone ordered a different starter, main dish and dessert. I love to sample everyone's ordered and everything tasted great. The service was just as great. Would definitely come again next time I'm in Arizona.

We enjoyed a fantastic dinner here. The food was delicious- each entree was really really good, we shared an appetizer as well as the bread pudding for dessert (so yummy!)
I had an espresso martini as well as a glass of wine. The front desk staff was friendly and we were seated right away. Our server was attentive and nice. We will be back.

Rusconi's is one of those places you crave! I am so happy that it has survived and seemed to have thrived through the pandemic. We recently moved back to Phoenix and it was one of the places we talked about for years, so happy everything is still completely stellar! The food continues year after year to be delicious, fresh, high quality, and new items to the menu are always appreciated. Never change! We had an awesome time out with friends there and felt as if we were at our own kitchen table catching up in the wonderful atmosphere, so comfortable at the "Prime" table to view all the delicious food coming out of the amazing kitchen. It always feels like I'm in a New York high rise restaurant, such a great experience. Thank you!

We truly enjoyed our dinner at Rusconi’s American Kitchen during Arizona Restaurant Week. Delicious food in great portions. The service was excellent and we were even able to meet the chef as he delivered our desserts personally.

I went during restaurant week and I chose from their special offerings. My friend and I enjoyed the pork belly appetizer which was delicious, decadent, flavorful, and surprisingly meaty. The short rib stuffed dates were the 2nd appetizer but it was not meaty enough and too sweet. For entrees we had a duck breast and a beef tenderloin. 😋 DELICIOUS! The dark chocolate bread pudding was phenomenal! This place is a must try.
Very tight seating, may be awkward for a wheelchair. M

Food was excellent. We had four different dishes and all were superb. Bread ( 5 pieces) for $9 was a bit out of line.
Only negative was tables are extremely close together. Very loud. Waiters back and butt in our table while we were eating as he spoke to the next table. Additionally- our waiter had an extremely loud voice. He was overwhelmingly loud. Again- felt like he was screaming in my ear when he was talking to the couple at the next table…..

The food was great, but it was our server who really made the experience shine. He was funny, popped in at the right times, gave great recommendations & generally made our evening very enjoyable. (Wish I could remember his name - we were seated to the right of the kitchen on 9/10. He was very charismatic, singing & joking, had a pony tail.) Highly recommend a visit for Restaurant Week - we’ll be back to check out brunch & half priced bottles of wine on a future Sunday!

So freakin delish! I've been to Rusconi's a bunch and it never let's me down!. The food is consistent and creative. The staff, especially, Fritz, are all warm and engaging. The owner/chef checks and cleans off each plate before being brought to the table. We started with a great Meyer lemon rosemary (from their garden) martini. The charcuterie had some nice meats and cheese. I had the plentiful 1/2 lb Angus burger with goat cheese, arugula, onions and a balsamic glaze. The roll was too bready so I hate half and removed the other. The chocolate bread pudding and cheesecake were over the top. Reasonably priced, Rusconi's shouldn't be missed!

This place is a real gem amongst the Paradise Valley area. My husband and I have been here three times now and each time Rusconi’s did not disappoint! The restaurant is chef owned and operated which means the menu always seems to have something new and exciting to try. The thoughtfulness behind the dishes is a real delight as the chef takes a standard dish and adds his own creative twists! I definitely recommend the grilled tenderloin medallions. Each bite melts in your mouth and the truffle scented mac and cheese was to die for!
This restaurant is on the medium to high priced side. Altogether our meal came to $170 before tip with one appetizer, one soup, two entrees, two cocktails and of course we had to try the dessert! Overall, I would say it’s well worth it for a delicious meal that supports a locally owned restaurant with such thoughtful selections. Enjoy!

Small, cozy restaurant. We saw this place on restaurant week and menu was appealing. Food was delicious and fresh. All our selections were perfectly seasoned. We plan to come back for brunch. It was a 50 minute drive for us but well worth it. They get busy so make reservations.
Terri Miller
Superb food; tonight we enjoyed the goat cheese fondue, special burrata and tomato salad, special flatiron steak, kitchen burger, tenderloin medallions, chocolate bread pudding, and peach sorbet. We enjoyed every dish and had the usual impeccable service. Many thanks to Chef Rusconi for great food and great staff. Keep up the good work.

The best meal I’ve had at a restaurant in a long time...Scottsdale is very lucky to have this gem! And the staff, especially Rex, makes the meal even more enjoyable!
Beth Casey Beauregard Sharik
Had a wonderful dinner there on Friday night with my hubs and son. Everything was perfect from the mussels appetizer to the beef medallions served on top of the best truffle Mac-n-cheese I have ever tasted! Our server was excellent. Highly recommend this gem!

We recently visited Rusconi's on our family vacation to Scottsdale. It was my parents anniversary and we wanted to treat our Mom to a nice dinner. Being from out of town and our first visit to the area, we found Rusconi's on Opentable and could not have been happier with our decision. Besides the food being absolutely amazing- the wait staff was phenomenal in being personable, engaging and accommodating to us (who were traveling with a 4 year old and a 16mo old). They filled the boys sippy cups with milk instead of giving a regular glass- and even took the pacifier to the kitchen to clean it off after it fell on the floor. What a great experience! And their Mac n' Cheese was to die for! We will certainly be back and making sure our friends in the area visit Rusconi's!

Ate here many times when we are in town and it's always fabulous. The pork shank was amazing actually after many meal it was my favorite meal ever!!! Brian is a great waiter as well !!!
Wendy Schops
This is usually the first choice for my family when we want to go have a wonderful meal. We have been there several times for different occasions and we are always treated with awesome service and some of the best food in town. We have been served by Fritz and he is very personable and fun and last time we were served by Craig and he did an awesome job even though they were really crowded, he took really good care of us :) If you have room for dessert, the chocolate bread pudding is so delicious!
Veronica Chatel
Our go-to restaurant for a guaranteed delicious and satisfying meal. Everything about this place is fantastic - service, food, and cocktails/wine.
Denise Gennaro Finlan
OMG we love this place. Since the 1st time we ate here it became our new favorite restaurant! EVERYTHING on the menu is outstanding! All the staff rocks but Brian & Fritz are top notch. Be sure to sit and have a drink with Ronda at the bar. Check it out I promise you will not be disappointed.
Patrick Seidel
Best neighborhood restaurant hands down. Always great food, great service, and the best apple martini. The entire staff is pleasant and accommodating. Always great menu selects.
Debbie Ann
Absolutely fabulous food and service! I had the twin medallions of beef on truffle Mac and cheese. The reduction served on this plate was the tastiest I have ever had! The warm chocolate pudding capped off a great evening.
David J. Berger
My friend Jill knows the owner from years gone by and suggested we go here for a Holiday dinner with a few friends. Was very busy during the holidays and even though the Bar was packed a spaced opened up with in 5 mins for pre-dinner drinks and a nibble. Our table was ready right on time and we had a wonderful dinner with great wine options. I had the Buffalo steak medium rare of course and it was wonderful. I will be bringing other friends here to experience this place.
Lisa Kaiser
We recently ate at Rusconi's. The food and service were great. There was a taste issue with my appetizer but that was just a blip on the screen. When I mentioned it to the waiter, the item was removed from our bill and we received an apology. So, the customer service was superb. As was everything else we ate & drank. Highly recommend Rusconi's.

I go for the great food and then as a bonus the staff are amazing. I have never had anything but a great experience here. The wind selection is on point as well.
Jeannette Rogers
It was our first time there and we were doing Restaurant Week. Our server, Brian, was right on at each part of the meal. Our meals were very appealing to the eye and tasted wonderful. The chocolate bread pudding was everyone's favorite but we loved all of it. We will be back again. Thank you for being on the list or we probably would not have known about you. Excellent rating!!!!
