    Fantastic dinner! Made a last minute reservation while passing through Scottsdale. Was pleasantly surprised with a deliciously fresh dinner and excellent service. Mussels were tasty, lamb and scallops were cooked perfectly and not over seasoned; dark chocolate banana bread dessert was warm with just the right amount of sweetness.

    We ate there last week on a recommendation and it was so good we went back. The second experience was just as wonderful, if not better. The service is first class, the food is exceptionally prepared and the superb presentatation is done personally by the owner/chef. We have eaten at the 5 star Broadmoor hotel in our hometown of Colorado Springs and Rusconi's rivals anything produced by the Broadmoor. Highly recommend treating yourself to this wonderful dining experience; you will keep going back to try everything on the menu. A special shout out to the scallops and butternut squash rissotto.

    Nice experience. Had not been in in a year or so, prices definitely highter. I thought is was a bit overpriced for the amount of meat on the plate. Food was good and cooked as requested.

    Fabulous. Our waitress was attentive and answered every question. Great wine selection - recommend the Browne Family cab. My duck and accompanying go-withs were all served hot and the flavor was outstanding. My wife had tenderloin medallions: again, everything was fantastic. Highly recommend!

    The food and drinks were excellent. We had the Tomahawk Tuesday special and it was cooked perfectly for us. The waitstaff were very attentive. Their service was perfect. They refilled our drinks and brought out each course very timely. We never had to wait or wonder when they would be back. The staff worked well as a Team for both us, and all of those around us. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. I heard several patrons mention that they were regulars at Rusconi’s. We plan to be now as well.
