    Had caprese salad and split the bolognese with my daughter. Portion was big enough to split, but it was so amazing, wish I had my own! 🤣

    I keep coming back to Ruscello because of its unmatched consistency in taste and quality. Every visit feels like a guarantee of excellence. Their dishes are always flavorful and fresh. It’s rare to find a place where the food is just as good every single time, but this restaurant delivers on that. We ordered the soup of the day which was chicken noodle soup, shrimp arugula salad and the chicken gnocchi. We barely had room for dessert but also had the crème brûlée and coffee ice cream! So yum! The service is also consistently top-notch. Justin who was our server was very friendly, attentive, and delivered a seamless dining experience. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a special occasion, I know I can rely on this place to exceed expectations. Highly recommended!

    First time eating here and I ordered the ravioli carbonara. It was pretty mid and extremely oily. If it’s your first time eating here then I recommend getting something else. The bread sticks are really good though, they came out hot and fresh.
