Ruscello at Nordstrom

Mr. Will the bartender made great drinks with great conversation at the bar. Clarissa our table server was excellent, personable, took great care of our group of 6 and made great recommendations for food. I also appreciated the manager being willing to accommodate of large group for outside seating like we originally asked but told us the sun was going to be to hot so we stayed inside which was THE BEST ADVICE. Definitely will return and recommend anyone to visit. Everyone loved the appetizers, food, drinks and service. 10 out of 10. Spent $90-$100 which included multiple fabulous cocktails 🍸

Absolutely love Ruscello! I have enjoyed both the salmon salad and the miso salmon dish. Both perfectly cooked and served. Flavors are always delightful. Appetizers are also great. Artichoke dip is a favorite. Plantation ice tea is my go to, which is always topped off by the waitress. Such a wonderful team of people. Always great service. Of course, you can't beat the location and view.

Had such a great experience at Ruscello at Nordstrom. The food was really good, and the portions were surprisingly big for the price, which made everything feel very worth it. I also loved the aesthetic and ambiance of the restaurant—it has a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere, and it was fun being able to watch the chefs cooking and preparing dishes in the open kitchen. The service was amazing as well. Justin took such good care of us throughout our visit, always checking in and making sure we were doing well. His attentiveness and friendly attitude made our dining experience even better. Another plus is the free parking at Ala Moana, making it super convenient. After enjoying a delicious meal, you can easily spend some time shopping around the mall. Definitely a great spot for good food, great service, and a nice overall dining experience. Highly recommend! ✨🤍

Calamari way over done and greasy. Lobster bisque very good. Pizza was pretty good Steak good. Cooked to my liking. Pasta bolognese was just ok. Chicken meatballs were ok. The grated cheese tasted cheap. Service with Amber was very good.

One of my fav restaurants Such a nice restaurant to go with ladies Even the weekday lunch , this place gets busy I suggest going there before 12 to avoid crowds Everything me and my family had was excellent as usual They even give you refills on plantation ice tea

Jeremy was our server and he is awesome! He showed great attention to detail and checked on us frequently even though he was obviously busy. The little gem salad is excellent and I ordered the flank steak on the side and it was very well seasoned and tender. The strawberry shortcake biscuit was very dry, so I couldn’t eat that part but the fresh strawberries and the fresh cream had very bright and delicious flavors. My son ordered a pizza and it was quite surprisingly greasy! He still ate it but he had to tilt the slices so the oil could drain off. My daughter enjoyed the penne pasta but it was a little spicy. I requested outdoor seating which the honored but be prepared because it was quite warm. No complaints though….it’s OUTSIDE! LOL

Overall a fun and enjoyable experience. We didn’t make reservations in advance so needed to wait 5-10 minutes to be seated. Depending on the weather there is inside and outside seating. We sat outside which was fine. It was a bit less busy sitting outside. Food was well prepared and good amount. Was surprised to see the amount of arugula on our pizza…it was like a salad in our pizza which we loved. Our server was attentive and checked in on us in a good way.

First time here, always wanted to try. Went without a reservation on a whim when they opened for lunch on a weekday and immediately was seated at the bar. Friend last minute wanted to join so got to share plates which was a good thing👍 Bar service was great, mahalos to Tran for great service👍👍 Ordered the Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts for starters, the Honey Dijon Cobb Salad, and the Penne Bolognese with Meatballs for the entree. Lucky my friend knew that they could split both the entree and salad in two, since I didnt know. Had an order of the Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos brought out as well *mahalos Mandy* Food, service and atmosphere top notch. No wonder this place packs a crowd. Had to save some room for dessert and ended up ordering the Kona Coffee Ice cream and the Bread Pudding, which capped off a fabulous lunch. Sometimes you need to live a little and splurge. 5 stars🤙🤙

* update! I just added a video showcasing a dish that will be available for a limited time. It was truly delicious. I have lost track of the number of times I've eaten here now. It is that good. Not only is the food freshly prepared, the service is always excellent. Even when I've tried things that I don't like they are willing to give me something that I do like. And if you are a wine connoisseur, they have wine Wednesdays, where you get half off a bottle of wine so bring a friend!

I came here on a Saturday night around 6:30pm. It was pretty busy but we were seated right away on the high table seats. Lucky. We loved their soups: lobster bisque and tomato basil soups with the cheese toast. Yum! We were a little disappointed at the chicken bolognese meatball penne. Our own mistake because when we overlooked that it was chicken so it was not the juicy beef meatball we envisioned. The taste was ok. I had the Alaskan sockeye salmon with Asian salad which was so great.
