    I keep coming back to Ruscello because of its unmatched consistency in taste and quality. Every visit feels like a guarantee of excellence. Their dishes are always flavorful and fresh. It’s rare to find a place where the food is just as good every single time, but this restaurant delivers on that. We ordered the soup of the day which was chicken noodle soup, shrimp arugula salad and the chicken gnocchi. We barely had room for dessert but also had the crème brûlée and coffee ice cream! So yum! The service is also consistently top-notch. Justin who was our server was very friendly, attentive, and delivered a seamless dining experience. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a special occasion, I know I can rely on this place to exceed expectations. Highly recommended!

    Beautiful restaurant by the beach. Excellent service and ambiance. I ordered the signature dish: Prawn Tagliatelle and was disappointed to find only two pieces of shrimp, other than that the food and flavors were amazing.

    The pastas are amazing, particularly the spinach ravioli and the lasagna. The Caesar salad is also great. Normally I have found this place to be a stellar atmosphere, but when dining at 9pm you do not expect to be subjected to a screaming baby for the entire meal, which perhaps coincidentally, led to slower and less attentive service than usual from the waitress. The young man that works there, perhaps as a busboy, is very kind and attentive, seemingly going above and beyond his assigned duties. All said, the food was stellar and I will definitely be going back.
