                                                      We were celebrating our anniversary and it couldn’t have been better. When we arrived there was an anniversary card on our table signed by everyone. We started with a crab cake and a bowl of butternut squash soup with a duck confit ravioli. Both were delicious. For the main courses I am very excited that right now Osso bucco is back on the menu. It is one of my all time favorites. There was a grouper special that was incredible. For dessert we finished with chocolate bread pudding and had dark chocolate blueberry ice cream. Fantastic and highly recommend this restaurant. It is our favorite in Phoenix.

                                                      I am not sure how the Chef puts these flavors together but they are uniquely satisfying,

                                                      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
