Reviews for Rusconi's American Kitchen in Phoenix, AZ
Go here for brunch! They have amazing cocktails and the shrimp avocado toast with an egg on top is to die for. The gin... cocktails in particular are super fresh and tasty. The banana fosters French toast is fantastic. Brunch is only on Saturdayand Sunday but it’s worth it. Smaller patio but well done. Way better than the breakfast place next door. Read more
This place is a real gem amongst the Paradise Valley area. My husband and I have been here three times now and each time... Rusconi’s did not disappoint! The restaurant is chef owned and operated which means the menu always seems to have somethingnew and exciting to try. The thoughtfulness behind the dishes is a real delight as the chef takes a standard dish and adds hisown creative twists! I definitely recommend the grilled tenderloin medallions. Each bite melts in your mouth and the trufflescented mac and cheese was to die for! This restaurant is on the medium to high priced side. Altogether our meal came to $170before tip with one appetizer, one soup, two entrees, two cocktails and of course we had to try the dessert! Overall, I wouldsay it’s well worth it for a delicious meal that supports a locally owned restaurant with such thoughtful selections. Enjoy! Read more
First time here for Father’s Day. We came for brunch and were definitely pleased! Great customer service from our waiter Rex.... He was very attentive and served us with so much class. The menu for lunch is small but don’t let that steer you away. We hada party of six and everyone enjoyed every ounce of their dish. The grits are very good, which can be hard to find in the Valley.All items were served hot and fresh. They had a special on wine for 1/2 off and it was perfectly chilled. Enjoyed this spot frombeginning to end and will definitely be back to check out the dinner menu. Finding a great spot with quality food and qualitycan be difficult to come by these days with short staff. Don’t hesitate to come to this place! Read more
This is the hidden gem you wish you knew about. Don't let the location fool you. It's spacious, opens to a friendly bar area... with a bartender that knows how to make a mean (and delicious) pear martini. The menu is refreshing and changes regularly. Wecelebrated a birthday and every entree was enjoyed. I had the filet with truffle Mac & cheese and ate every bite. What reallystands out here though is the staff. They're professional, yet warm and friendly. The place was booked solid with regulars, manyof whom hugged their waitstaff. This place is for more than a meal, and I love that. I'll be back! Read more
We had the best experience and are already looking forward to coming back. The food was absolutely delicious. Our server, Fritz,... was so friendly and helpful and he made the experience that much better. We could go on and on about the amazing food, stellardrinks and wonderful staff. Thank you Rusconi's for making our date night so memorable. Read more
Definitely need a reservation, but worth it. Use OpenTable. They can get lost in the strip mall. We didn't have a reservation,... but were able to have dinner at the bar. Almost a dinner and a show at the bar. The ladies took great care of us. Fantastic thatthey have gluten free options. Excellent mixed drinks and a good diversified wine list. Even with an almost full restaurant ourfood came out quickly. Read more
My wife and I decided to try Rusconi's for restaurant week and we're pleasantly surprised. The food was great and the service... was excellent. However, there was only one problem. It's was just barely warm and some of my wife's potatoes were actually cold.We didn't complain because the flavors were so amazing and we just couldn't part with the food. It was fairly busy but notcrowded at all, it was 6 in the eve and starting to pick up. My wife had the salmon and I had the scallops. Both had excellentflavors and were prepared well, just were not hot, or even close. I can tell by the crowds and the clientele that this is apopular spot and they have tons of regulars so Rusconi's will do well. But we probably won't be back because we drive by TheGladly, The Collins, Beckett's, Chelsea's, Buck and Rider, Vincent's, Tomaso's and Tarbell's to get there, so it would have tobe off the chain to get us out of the neighborhood. It was probably just a one-off situation but just another metric of thehighly competitive nature of the restaurant business and how one experience has a tendency to define a customer's visit. But wewish Rusconi's well, they have an excellent product and obviously an avid following, good luck to you guys and ladies. Read more
Small, cozy restaurant. We saw this place on restaurant week and menu was appealing. Food was delicious and fresh. All our... selections were perfectly seasoned. We plan to come back for brunch. It was a 50 minute drive for us but well worth it. Theyget busy so make reservations. Read more
