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

Such a festive outdoor setting with wonderful food and drinks. We started with drinks at Sidecar and then moved over to the beer garden tables outside for dinner. It was great for our larger group of 7. We love the whole experience.
