Rusconi's American Kitchen - American restaurant in Phoenix - 10637 N Tatum Blvd, USA

Hands down the most flavorful restaurant that we have been to in Arizona. I am a picky eater and I was surprised how good everything thing was. There were four of us and everyone ordered a different starter, main dish and dessert. I love to sample everyone's ordered and everything tasted great. The service was just as great. Would definitely come again next time I'm in Arizona.

We enjoyed a fantastic dinner here. The food was delicious- each entree was really really good, we shared an appetizer as well as the bread pudding for dessert (so yummy!) I had an espresso martini as well as a glass of wine. The front desk staff was friendly and we were seated right away. Our server was attentive and nice. We will be back.

Rusconi's is one of those places you crave! I am so happy that it has survived and seemed to have thrived through the pandemic. We recently moved back to Phoenix and it was one of the places we talked about for years, so happy everything is still completely stellar! The food continues year after year to be delicious, fresh, high quality, and new items to the menu are always appreciated. Never change! We had an awesome time out with friends there and felt as if we were at our own kitchen table catching up in the wonderful atmosphere, so comfortable at the "Prime" table to view all the delicious food coming out of the amazing kitchen. It always feels like I'm in a New York high rise restaurant, such a great experience. Thank you!

We truly enjoyed our dinner at Rusconi’s American Kitchen during Arizona Restaurant Week. Delicious food in great portions. The service was excellent and we were even able to meet the chef as he delivered our desserts personally.

The tastiest place we have ever eaten at in Arizona, without a doubt. Being a finicky eater, I was quite aback by how excellent everything was. Each of the four of us ordered a separate appetizer, entrée, and dessert. I enjoyed tasting what everyone had ordered, and everything was delicious. Just as excellent was the service. Definitely plan to return the next time I'm in Arizona.

I went during restaurant week and I chose from their special offerings. My friend and I enjoyed the pork belly appetizer which was delicious, decadent, flavorful, and surprisingly meaty. The short rib stuffed dates were the 2nd appetizer but it was not meaty enough and too sweet. For entrees we had a duck breast and a beef tenderloin. 😋 DELICIOUS! The dark chocolate bread pudding was phenomenal! This place is a must try. Very tight seating, may be awkward for a wheelchair. M

So freakin delish! I've been to Rusconi's a bunch and it never let's me down!. The food is consistent and creative. The staff, especially, Fritz, are all warm and engaging. The owner/chef checks and cleans off each plate before being brought to the table. We started with a great Meyer lemon rosemary (from their garden) martini. The charcuterie had some nice meats and cheese. I had the plentiful 1/2 lb Angus burger with goat cheese, arugula, onions and a balsamic glaze. The roll was too bready so I hate half and removed the other. The chocolate bread pudding and cheesecake were over the top. Reasonably priced, Rusconi's shouldn't be missed!

We chose this restaurant for a celebratory event in our family. It was our first time here. Everything was PERFECT until the last 5 minutes. We had made a reservation, were on time, and enjoyed drinks, appetizers, meals and one dessert for our party of 4. The food was delicious, exquisitely prepared and served, and our server was efficient and thorough. The ambience was warm and welcoming, and we all commented how we would come back again because we had never known how much of a gem this place was. We asked for a box to take one of our party's left-overs home and continued to converse. At one point, a hostess (someone we hadn't seen during the course of our evening) came up and put the box into a paper bag. At the same time, a bus person came up and started clearing our glasses and remaining silverware. We got the hint - they wanted us to leave. We were so offended by this gesture. Please note that the rule of thumb for upscale dining establishments is this: 2 people typically spend 1.5 hours at a table, while 4 people spend 2 hours. I know this because I used to be the hostess of a fine dining restaurant. We had been there less than 1 hour and 45 minutes. We felt that this was rude and disrespectful, especially because we had partaken in most of the courses offered. Our decision? Never to return again, no matter how amazed and pleasantly surprised with the quality and presentation of the dishes. This is an example of how poor customer service can completely ruin an experience. If you decide to go here (note: the food IS excellent), don't plan on leaving when you want: plan on leaving when you're "told."
