Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Paradise Valley

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

Ate dinner outside. The most comfortable chairs ever. Maybe the same indoors, but I have no knowledge of that. Also, a lot quieter, naturally. Our server was extremely helpful. No rushing. The food was great: we had shishito peppers and clams for starters, then the trout and the branzino. My husband liked my branzino better than his trout, just because it was almandine and he felt it an unnecessary coating. Then, great flourless chocolate dessert. Drink were good goo. Would return without a doubt because the menu had so many offerings, it would be great to try them all.

Excellent service by our wait person Laine. Our dinner was delayed but well worth the extra wait. We split our dinner which thoughtfully came on separate plates. Our entree was compted due to the delay. Not necessary but we were grateful. Drinks very good.

We had an exceptional experience at Maggianos! Our server Nikki was fabulous and did not stir us wrong. Every dish served was delicious from salmon to sea bass the to pasta and the outstanding veal chop, Wow!!

Love this place. Everything is delicious.. We ordered the sweet potato ravioli, which melted in your mouth, as well as a Kobe burger that my parents loved, and then we shared the butternut squash and brussels sprouts, which were very flavorful.. I think our waitress at lunch had a lot of tables so it took a while for us to get a drink and the food but she was very sweet and professional. I wish there was a location in the West Valley in Glendale or Peoria. We love this restaurant..
