The service was very slow and they were not busy. Our coffee was cold. We had to ask for more and that took 20 minutes. Not what I expected and it was disappointing.

We have made a tradition of having family lunches at Ruscello. Every time before it has been a nice experience overall. It has been a year since we were in and what we found was a notable decline in management and service. Our server was a combination of untrained and apathetic toward her job. Our drink orders took 15 minutes, our appetizers another 15 and our entrees arrived more than 30 minutes after the appetizers. I don’t put the blame on the kitchen. The food was properly prepared but parts were cooled from sitting in the pickup line. It was unfortunate all around.

Ruscello has been a favorite of mine for years. The prices have gone up so high that it is not worth it anymore for a lunch spot. It used to be a place to go all the time… and not anymore. I am sad about this! Please reconsider the pricing structure so shoppers can pop in for a wonderful ambiance and lunch. It was mostly empty when we were there.

We didn’t go. They were closed and we found out the day before Easter. No communication to us just confirmations of our reservation! If I had not called to downsize our reservation, we would have shown up to a closed restaurant on Easter!😟

We have loved Ruscellos in the past. So, to see how far it's gone downhill was shocking. Our waitress appeared to be as high as a kite. We originally ordered teas and the buratta appetizer. She initially brought us the wrong drinks but got those corrected. After about 15 minutes, our appetizer arrived. The portion size of the appetizer filled the same plate it had in the past, but instead of the big ball of fresh burratta, it was mostly toast shrivled tomatoes and three skimpy pieces of store bought mozzarella. We then ordered two french dip sandwiches. We waited 30 minutes! Then the waitress came back over and asked if we were only having the burratta and were we ready for our check. We reminded her we hadn't gotten our sandwiches yet. And she says Oh! She leaves, types into the computer for a few minutes, and then goes into the kitchen. After 10 or 15 more minutes, I see her standing beside a fellow we can only assume at this point was the manager. She then pops over to our table and tells us the manager has zeroed out our bill, but we can still leave her a tip. Shocked, I asked what had happened and if she had change. She said... I can try to find some, and babbled something about why do we care why they didn't charge us. Then, my husband pulls out a ren and gives it to her. She looked at me and informed me that was what the tip should be. We had no intention of leaving that, but we decided to go because it wasn't worth any further interaction with her. The manager or our waitress never explained what happened to our sandwiches. I was beyond disappointed!

The food was wonderful. What I didn’t like is they brought out champagne since we were celebrating two birthdays at lunch but no one ordered it so I assumed it was in the house. However when the bill came it was $48. I didn’t want to complain in front of others but hate when restaurants do this - not cool.

Unfortunately they were short on servers. We had to ask for napkins & silverware twice AFTER we got our soup! Soup & salad was yummy.
