   Selected from the Restaurant Week menu. Just the highlights of the meal. The PORK BELLY app. was marvelous. A generous portion of pork that was quite delicious. We had two great mains. The SCALLOPS were excellent, but the COCOA RUBBED DUCK BREAST was even better. We paired our meals with a 2021 LANGE PINOT NOIR that was also excellent, especially with the duck. If you get a chance, order the BLACKBERRY SORBET. It was delicious and cooling on a summer day. BTW, if Rex is your waiter, he is a pleasure to talk with.

   They get everything right. Top notch foodie dishes. Innovative, pretty, tasty. Went for our sixth time. This time for Restaurant Week which was a great value. Thanks for supporting that program. Pork belly app superb. Entree scallops divine. Best duck we ever had. Dark chocolate bread pudding perfect. Can’t wait to return.

   Entrees were tasteless Short ribs were tender, lean but had NO taste. Limited sauce but it was tasteless also, We’ve been numerous times and it was always good but this time it was not. Doubt we would return. Had 6:30 reservation and weren’t seated til 7:00

   The Manhattan I ordered was terrible. Scallops were kind of plain so were the Brussels sprouts. Not what I expected

    Rusconi's always delivers. We were here for restaurant week, just to check out what they were creating. Everything was very good. The pork belly, stuffed medjool dates, scallops and dark choc braed pudding were the standouts

    We dined in restaurant week from the special RW menu, and the food was excellent. Great menu and interesting dishes. We did have an issue that we waited an hour for our appetizers, and after seeing other tables around us that had been seated later than us dining, we flagged down our waiter to check the status on the first course. It was obvious that he either did not put in our order, or the kitchen “lost it”. He told us it would come soon, which was another 5-10 minutes on their preset menu. It was busy due to restaurant week, but we were forgotten and luckily asked about the status of arrival. That being said, the food was delicious, we liked their menu and the service staff, and we will try it again.

    Staff was well trained, professional and personable. Food was well plated, portions were spot on for the average foodie. The only issue I had was the lack of acoustical design to keep the noise level down. Because of the sound level, I do not consider Rusconi’s a good place for a first date and definitely not a proposal destination. This is a restaurant with good food and a very good wine menu. Great place to meet up with friends for special occasions. I only experienced dinner during Phoenix Restaurant Week so perhaps when less busy decibels are within a normal range. Their menu is a tad on the high side but the staff are top notch!

    Went for restaurant week. While scallops were good, the portion was very small and only included three scallops, one of which was very small. My husband's short run was excellent. Would definitely go again after restaurant week is over

    Absolutely delicious! Googled best local places to eat in Phoenix and this place was listed as #1. We can definitely see why! The food was superb. Extra bonus…it was restaurant week, so all three of us ordered different dishes for all three courses! Will definitely return when we are back in Phoenix!

    We went for Restaurant Week and were very impressed with the selections offered. Dates stuffed with short rib and wrapped with bacon was a delectable treat and perfect starter. My main course was cocoa and spice rubbed Duck breast. Medium rare and cooked to perfection. This came with a small muffin of bread pudding with foie gras a much tastier chef choice than most restaurants. I sprang for a four dollar addition to have chocolate bread pudding drizzled in Carmel sauce and accompanied with a scoop of vanilla ice cream smothered in seasonal berries and berry sauce. The extra charge was well worth it. However, others really enjoyed their delicate creme brûlée dessert. All these items appear on their regular menu and I can not wait for a return and a repeat of some of these same tastes.

    This is our go to restaurant. It never disappoints. The food is always just right and the sauces are incredible. They do both meat and fish well, always cooked perfectly and I always finish with dark chocolate bread pudding. The prices are extremely reasonable for what you get.

    The food was wonderful with subtle flavors and combinations of ingredients that I would normally not consider to complement each other. The food was well prepared and served beautifully. The servers answered all concerns and were friendly. we did not feel rushed even though it was restaurant week.

    Kristopher at the bar was awesome. He was super busy but organized and worked well with those around him. Always soft spoken with his team and aware of his customers watching & waiting. The craft cocktails were delicious and the food was was even better. Chef definitely is running a great gig sending out excellent plates from his well oiled machine. Will definitely try to visit more often even though we live 30 minutes away....
