Rusconi's American Kitchen

Small, cozy restaurant. We saw this place on restaurant week and menu was appealing. Food was delicious and fresh. All our selections were perfectly seasoned. We plan to come back for brunch. It was a 50 minute drive for us but well worth it. They get busy so make reservations.

Go here for brunch! They have amazing cocktails and the shrimp avocado toast with an egg on top is to die for. The gin cocktails in particular are super fresh and tasty. The banana fosters French toast is fantastic. Brunch is only on Saturday and Sunday but it’s worth it. Smaller patio but well done. Way better than the breakfast place next door.

This place is a real gem amongst the Paradise Valley area. My husband and I have been here three times now and each time Rusconi’s did not disappoint! The restaurant is chef owned and operated which means the menu always seems to have something new and exciting to try. The thoughtfulness behind the dishes is a real delight as the chef takes a standard dish and adds his own creative twists! I definitely recommend the grilled tenderloin medallions. Each bite melts in your mouth and the truffle scented mac and cheese was to die for!

This restaurant is on the medium to high priced side. Altogether our meal came to $170 before tip with one appetizer, one soup, two entrees, two cocktails and of course we had to try the dessert! Overall, I would say it’s well worth it for a delicious meal that supports a locally owned restaurant with such thoughtful selections. Enjoy!

We had the best experience and are already looking forward to coming back. The food was absolutely delicious. Our server, Fritz, was so friendly and helpful and he made the experience that much better. We could go on and on about the amazing food, stellar drinks and wonderful staff. Thank you Rusconi's for making our date night so memorable.

Definitely need a reservation, but worth it. Use OpenTable. They can get lost in the strip mall. We didn't have a reservation, but were able to have dinner at the bar. Almost a dinner and a show at the bar. The ladies took great care of us. Fantastic that they have gluten free options. Excellent mixed drinks and a good diversified wine list. Even with an almost full restaurant our food came out quickly.
