A positively delightful lunch stop.

I had the blacked pollack special on potato chowder. Very good flavors and feast toppings like celery leaves and dill. The cheesy bread side was laying in the chowder and soak up a lot of the moisture, thus it was very soggy and not crisp.

Stopped in for a bite to eat while out taking calendar photos in the area. It was hotter than blazes outside and was a nice change to see the outdoors from our perch in the Nordstorm’s restaurant.

The waitress waiting on us was incredibly rude with a major attitude problem. So much sass in her voice. No warmth whatsoever. The food is mediocre, nothing special. The hostess was great. Don’t work in the service industry if you don’t like working with people. We didn’t ask for much and even tipped the lady 20% despite her lack of kindness.

I have visited Ruscello many times. The consistency of flavorful dishes is excellent. By far one of the best tasting restaurants in the area. All at a reasonable price. It would be even better if there was espresso machine :). Many other restaurants have lowered their quality after the pandemic so I stopped going to many restaurants. Ruscello is one of the few that has kept their quality and flavor. Keep up the good work. Thank you. Will visit again.

Come once a week and absolutely love this spot. Their lobster bisque is divine, as is the panko crusted chicken salad. Always wonderful staff. Such a gem!

The atmosphere is clean, modern Scandinavian with amazing Italian food! The windows in this place are gorgeous, 10/10. The only flaw is that the only way to access it is through Nordstrom.

Shopping at Nordstrom is a wonderful experience – eating upstairs at Ruscello is not. We waited over an hour for two salads and two kids meals. The waiter only came back once during this time to fill our water. The food was average and salty, the service was poor at best. I would not recommend this venue for much other than drinks.

We’ve been here many times. Toher is usually our server and I swear after our second or third visit he remembered us which is always nice. He provides exceptional and personal service every time. It’s a favorite spot for us (and extended family) when eating at Ridgedale. Great wine selection and husband likes their Old Fashion – food is fresh and good. Toher always brings out fruit early for our daughter to enjoy.
