| - When Rusconi's recommends that you make a reservation, be sure to take their advice to ensure that you have a table upon arrival. We arrived a little earlier than our reso and ordered a drink at the bar. The bartender was out of Luxardo as well as basil, so our 2 choices of cocktails were nixed fairly quickly.
After being seated, we ordered 2 orders of the short rib appetizer. Hands down the most tender short rib I have ever had.
For dinner we ordered the lamb, served with fava beans, gnocci, and mushrooms, as well as the filet medallions with white truffle mac and cheese with a side of bacon brussels sprouts. There wasn't a single remnant of food on any of the plates when we were done. SO DELICIOUS.
For dessert we couldn't choose just one, so we ordered 3. The vanilla budino with cinnamon whipped cream, the creme brulee, and the star of the show, the dark chocolate bread pudding, made with brioche over a vanilla cream and topped with slated caramel glaze and fresh berries. I could have ordered 3 more of these, they were so damn good.
Our waiter, John, made our meal even more excellent with his amazing personality, jokes, and attentiveness to our table. Thanks for a great experience and cannot wait to come back.
