Rusconi's American Kitchen

Just average food and service. While the menu showed interesting entrees, it turned out to be nothing special, nothing bad. Spent a Sunday afternoon for brunch.

We enjoyed another nice dinner at Rusconi's. Between our party we ate steak, roast chicken, risotto, salmon and I had the pork chili verde. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The wine selection is good and well priced, I really enjoyed the pear martini. Personally, I think the staff are one of the reasons we go back, they always remember our family and literally every member of the front of house drops by to say hello and welcome back. Recommended.

It's always a pleasure to eat at Rusconi's. The Delmonico steak, the fillet, the duck breasts, and the hamburger were delicious. All five of us had the mushroom soup, which was superb. The mocktails were tasty without being too sweet, and desserts are to die for. To cap off the evening we had our favorite waiter, Fritz. Our 47th anniversary was a remarkable occasion.

We love coming here but quality has taken a dip. The beignets are still amazing but the food and drinks and attentive service have dipped.

The dates wrapped in beef are fantastic! My friends had chicken salad and the vegan butternut squash risotto and Raved. I've had this server.before and it was nice to be remembered, including what table I had before!

Excellent service and the food was outstanding. We love eating dinner here and this brunch was amazing. Very affordable for the quality of service and food.

Great food and service. We have eaten here several times and the food is always excellent. I find often with Phoenix and Scottsdale restaurants they are great the first time but there is no consistency next time could be terrible but every time here is wonderful . Definitely recommend

My friend and I have been here a few times. Each time I've given a 5 Star review on food and service. Unfortunately, this time around was a real miss for us. I made 6:30 Friday dinner reservation for 2 and requested a table near the front which was honored. Thank you!. Austin our server introduced himself, very friendly. The restaurant was full with customers seated at the bar, patio and main dining areas. We ordered Martini's and Cosmos, while we deciding on what to order. The cocktails took a while to to be delivered by Austin. He was very nice and apologetic, but honestly he was spread way to thin... basically taking care of the whole front area plus the patio area. When he came to take our order, he gave us the rundown of the specials. Mussels were included which I've had before so I jumped on that. My friend and I shared the Pork Chili Verde appetizer and an order of French Fries and he ordered the Cocoa Rubbed Breast of Duck. Pork Chili Verde appetizer came looked good, as we dug in, the Crispy Grit fries were soggy sitting in a pool of sauce, hardly any pork, just a few pieces of ground pork, a bit bland. My mussels came, again looked good but the mussels were so overcooked the meat shrunk to the size of a small almond and was dried up along with quit a few empty shells. It was so disappointing, as I have had them before and they were delicious as you can see my past photos. My friend duck was good but to him seemed small in size, as he too has had the duck in the past. While eating our entrees, we ordered another round of cocktail which again took a very long time, finally delivered but olives were missing. Honestly our server was doing the best he could do but he was given too many tables to manage. Between the food and service, we felt indifferent about the evening. LOL though on a positive note, the table next to us ordered the Harris Ranch "Kitchen" Burger and it LOOKED Fantastic. My friend and I decided we maybe back just to sit at the bar and try the burgers.

Rusconi's is our favorite valley restaurant. Combines gourmet quality food with neighborhood warmth and friendliness. Excellent food, consistently creative and delicious. The staff and management are long - term employees, always friendly and eager to help. It's a treasure!

This will never get old. Posting about my favorite place to eat.

Great place to eat at the bar. Got there early to get a seat. Our bartender was great!

Edit - fix your Google hours. It says you're open all day Sunday. All Day. Yes when you look deeper it says brunch stops at 2, but it still says...All Fn Day. And don't make it look like it's your customer's problem your Google hours are wrong. Too bad we liked coming here.
