Reviews for Rusciano's Authentic Taste of Napoli in North Liberty, IA

Great food! Got to meet the owner, very personable.

Authentic Napoli pizza. I would come back again, but unfortunately I don't live close by. Fresh ingredients and perfectly baked... pizza. Dough was just the right thinness with a bit of chewyness (not sure if this is a word..).If you like salty fat greesy'American' pizza this place is not for you - food may taste a little bland. Ruscianos salad was amazing even without anydressing, which tells you the quality of the ingredients they use. Many vegetarian options available! Server was very friendlyas well, although I'm not very chatty. Made me feel comfortable. Read more

Skip the OGarden and come here!!! Authentic flavors and the nicest people! My wife and I have very different tastes and we... were both appeased. The Calzone and Burrata were amazing. You can tell they pay attention to the little details that make greatfood great! Read more

"Phenomenal" is not a word that I would use often to describe an Italian restaurant ( in fact, I'm not even sure what it... means:) but Rusciano's was just that. The waitress staff was extremely attentive, the service quick and the food wasphenomenal. Dishes dense with taste. Even the lowly appetizer, focaccia with mozzarella olive oil and a wonderfully seasonedmarinara could have been meal itself. I'm definitely going back. Read more

The pizzas are awesome and come out so fast. The cannolis are fresh and delicious with good filling and crunchy wraps. We tried... the chef special lasagna of the day and that was supposed the be amazing but it tasted kinda like chef boyardee... with smushyoverdone noodles...still good just didnt taste very authentic or homemade. Overall I would definitely drop by again when intown. The service was worth it. Read more

The guys had the pasta special (risotto, house-made organic orange cream, locallyfarmed zucchini, goat cheese, gorgonzola, and pecorino Romano) and I opted for light with the Salsiccia pizza. Ohhh, the desert special, fried dough balls with cinnamon sugar, topped with Nutella, vanilla whip cream, and strawberry were still warmand a perfect end to dinner! 07/06 - Focaccia with fresh mozzarella & meatballs apps, 2 pasta specials (Paccheri with pistachiosauce, ricotta and eggplant cream, garlic scapes, and pecorino Romano cheese) plus Salsiccia and Salumi pizzas with 2 homemadedesserts to go (Chocolate Caprese made with dark chocolate, almond, and hazelnut (gluten free).

The food here is delicious! It was hard to decide what to get, there were so many good-sounding options. The staff was attentive... and friendly. My only complaint is that noise echos around the dining area, so it can get very loud when the restaurant is fullof people. Read more
