Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Paradise Valley

Food is really good, service was excellent. however, when we had our food getting packed up, we said we’d like to take all of our food and once my family and I got home, we realized that they didn’t put all of our food in the to go boxes. We were missing some leftovers; a ribeye steak and a few sides.

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

We starting with a bottle of wine, the meatball and foccaia bread starters which were hot and delicious. We received excellent service and our waiter was attentive and poured wine throughout our meal. The Volcan braised beef was outstanding as well as the ribeye and Chilean sea bass. Everythign was wonderful from start to finish. It's very nice to see an attentive team of professionals. Thank you.

The live music & ambience in the bar was phenomenal & food excellent. Dirty martini’s perfect & service was fantastic. Petite fillets, sushi & sides were all made to perfection. Can’t wait to come back when I’m in Scottsdale.
