                                                      Always such a pleasure to done at Rusconis! Everyone is so friendly and we’re always treated like family. Last night we celebrated our anniversary, and all the staff were so kind. Nice touches like an anniversary card on the table, and a warm welcome. The food there is always next level. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the steaks are really their Crown Jewels. They also have the freshest salads and vegetables, perfectly prepared. We’ve been for dinner many times-Sunday Brunch once. The brunch is fantastic. The Shortrib hash and eggs is a must! There’s really something for everyone in your group on the menu, whether you go to Dinner or Brunch. I want to thank the Rusconis family for always providing great service and making our anniversary dinner extra special!

                                                      We met friends who had never been here. As always, Rusconi’s offered a great menu and wine list. Two of us had the salmon and the other two had the flat iron steak special. Portions are perfect and the flavors are simply amazing. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem.

                                                      It was Saturday night, so very full and noisy. Had the potato and leek soup, which was amazing, as well as the butternut squash risotto. My date had the Korean pear salad, which he enjoyed, and the mussels special, which was a very generous portion and excellent. There is plenty of truffle flavoring on their menu items, you can order most of these items (soup, fries) without the truffle. Good for me as I’m not a truffle fan. Only downside was the service felt rushed. We were in and out with the bill paid in 55 minutes. We don’t feel as rushed when we come in on a weeknight, but this happens sometimes on the weekends.

                                                      Rusconi's stands out in our local market. Creative dishes not easy to find in the area (such as a shrimp and grits shareable, green chili mac & cheese side dish,...), broad-spectrum wine list, meticulous kitchen, attentive service, personal follow-up (not just fluff - they called me this morning to see how our meal was last night), good value for its price points, attractive promotions,... I will go back again and again. Make sure to check for a reservation far in advance, especially if you're thinking to go on a Saturday.

                                                      The salmon and butternut risotto was delicious. The other 2 dishes were marginal. The restaurant is pretty small and loud.

                                                      A neighborhood restaurant as it should be. Great food served by wonderfully accommodating wait staff, in an informal environment. Owner chef Michael Rusconi watches over everything to make a dining experience and delicious menu worthy of returning often.
