    If you want to walk right in and have a quiet meal here, Sunday night is the way to go. Reservations are unnecessary. Where on a Friday/ Saturday night it’s completely different, Sundays is a lil less crazy but enjoyable all the same.

    Rusconi's is our absolute favorite fine dining restaurant. Wonderful food in an unpretentious atmosphere. This visit did not disappoint. After enjoying lemoncello cocktails we started with beet salads. This was followed with our favorite entrees, grilled salmon with blackberry glaze, accompanied by Squealing Pig Sauvignon Blanc. Finally we split a Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding for dessert. Our favorite server Fritz was in rare form keeping us entertained while providing outstanding service. Before leaving for the evening, we made reservations for two more evenings in the next few weeks! PS- when "foodie" friends visit Arizona, they request a visit to Rusconi's

    Party of 7 for wife and her sisters birthday. French martinis - 10/10, steak tartare 10/10, everyone’s entrees very flavorful and hot. My steak frites au poivre was cooked to perfection 10/10. Complimentary chocolate soufflé for birthday girls was a very nice touch and delicious. Service was friendly and on point. We have been coming to Zinc for years and can always count on them for a perfect evening.
