Excellent, from start to finish, wonderful experience. A culinary delight. On arrival Caleb greeted us, escorted us to our table, He was very personable, friendly and professional. We had a lovely waitress, Kristin , she was ever so helpful with our selections. Starting off with a delectable starter for first timers. Delivered by the GM Heather, she also took time to check back with us. Making sure everything was to our satisfaction. It’s obvious the CHEF takes great satisfaction in the food at this restaurant. And he delivers, everything was delicious, beyond my expectations. I will definitely return. Thank you Rusconi’s

It’s always a delightful experience to eat at Rusconi’s. Curtis was a perfect waiter. Always helpful with suggestions. We enjoyed the swordfish, the pork, Osso, Buco, and the beef tenderloins. We finished with the beignets which were delicious.

Hidden Gem! On a Sunday night. Delicious dinner, great service, warm and inviting ambiance. I had the perfectly cooked duck. The sweet potato "mash" had a yummy caramelized crust on top. My husband and one dinner guest had the salmon. The blackberry glaze had just the right amount of glaze. The other dinner guest had the lamb in two styles. Perfectly cooked. All the veggies were done just right and all the plates were eaten clean. Then dessert! I had the chocolate creme brulee which was like a chocolate mousse with a caramelized crust. Our guests had the beignets which were like fluffy pillows. Our server was a delight. Great price point for wonderful and interesting food and ambiance.

This was our second time eating at Rusconi’s and it was just as amazing! Their food options and quality are one of the best we’ve ever had! The dining room area is a bit small and crowded, but the food and drinks make it worth it! We’ve never had a bad dish or drink. Can’t wait to go back again!

Was looking forward to having the duck. It was not up to my standards. Only 2 pieces were served of the breast. It had flavor but was also tough and the skin was not rendered. It was very fatty and tough. The other dish was swordfish and it was good. The mussels dinner that we ordered for an appetizer was supposed to come with chorizo. It had 2 pieces in the dish. I was very disappointed with the outcome. I have enjoyed the restaurant in the past. Consistency is the key to a good restaurant. It wasn't there tonight.
