                                                      We enjoyed a superb dining experience last night to celebrate my friend’s birthday. We did have to wait about 10 minutes or so for our reservation to open up, but in all fairness, they were inordinately busy but once seated, the service was superb. The wait staff is clearly very well trained in territory, and we found that service was like a well oiled machine, and our server took great pride intending to our table. I was a bit disappointed to learn that the hamburger sandwich I looked forward to was for reasons unknown, not available. The server stated they had run out, which for me was the first. So I settled on the roasted chicken and it was actually quite good, and my friend had the chicken salad that was also excellent and the restaurant was kind enough to offer my friend a scoop of vanilla ice cream to commemorate her birthday. I would not hesitate to return because this is an extremely well run restaurant with a top shelf staff. I absolutely recommend this restaurant.

                                                      This is my ultimate favorite restaurant. Chef Michael’s restaurant where he is very involved in making sure each dish is made to his standards. The staff is fabulous! Excellent service, excellent food. Always impressed every time I’m there! ♥️

                                                      My husband and I dined here together. I had the special which was swordfish and my husband had a steak. We shared a salad and ordered the appetizer potato as a side. Everything was delicious! The steak was served exactly as ordered "medium rare" and was hot. The sword fish was amazing. The chef came to our table and gave us a small appetizer since it was our first visit. Our waiter Fritz was very good. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Will definitely return when we're back in Scottsdale. We even received a follow up call the next day to thank us for coming.

                                                      We had dinner last night to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary. We were served by Brittany who was very helpful, friendly and attentive. The salads and main courses were wonderfully flavorful (Butternut Risotto and Pork Tenderloin). Brittany sometimes also works behind the bar and makes some creative drinks as well. Rusconi's is one of our favorite restaurants in the Valley and we have been enjoying it for years.

                                                      The food was outstanding! We came for Sunday brunch. The beignets were the best I’ve had in years. They are so light and fluffy and perfect! The citrus hollandaise sauce with the Benedict was delicious and creamy, as were the grits. The blackberry, glazed salmon salad was amazing. It was cooked perfectly and was just delicious. I’m probably going to dream about it! The service was top-notch. We’ll definitely be going back.
