    The service was very good! The vibes in there were really good! Some parts of the foods were salty but otherwise it was really good! My girlfriend really liked her pasta, overall a really good experience.

    I really like this place. Food and service is always good. It’s a bit of an oasis that no one seems to know about.

    The food was good. We had pasta dishes. We made a 6 o’clock reservation. There were 3 other families inside. Our waitress was completely clueless. Took forever to get drinks, took even longer to take our order. Every table received bread, we did not. The food took quite some time to be prepared and came out at room temp. We’ve been several times before and this was the first time we would question if we should come back.

    3 adults and 3 kids. Food was good. Our server, Clare, did an excellent job! She was attentive, intuitive when 8-year old struggled with his emotions, and was very kind.

    Perfect for a holiday lunch with a friend. You can’t go wrong with the always yummy pizza. The gnocchi is wonderful as well.

    We used to love Ruscello at Nordstrom. Our recent visit was a huge disappointment. Two of us ordered half of the mandarin salad. Usually there are lots of " goodies" in the salad. All we got on this day was a bunch of lettuce with the lettuce core pieces that, are never to be eaten, and very little else. When we saw the manager we told her of the situation. She looked put out and shrugged and mumbled something to our server. We were then brought a plate with the extra ingredients that should have been in the salad in the first place. One of the people in our party ordered the Caesar salad. Same thing... a bunch of lettuce with pieces of the core. Service was unbelievable slow and surly. We had to ask for a server to take our order. We ordered a cookie for dessert. We thought that maybe they were warming it up because it took so long to arrive. For two of us, this was our regular go to place and we really used to enjoy it. We always lucked out and had Michael for our server. We didn't get that lucky on this visit. The other two people in our group said that they will never go back. There are so many places to eat at Ridgedale. We will head someplace else in the future.
