Ruscello - Nordstrom Ala Moana

“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 🍸”

“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! ✨🤍”

“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.”

“My wife and I eat at Russello almost every Friday. Food is delicious but they have a limited set of menu. Service of servers and waiters/waitresses are exceptional. Service of reception desk is poor. We don’t know how they prioritize seating but we always experience long wait times for this restaurant. We even choose to seat by the bar just to get served quickly.Atmosphere is moderate noise level.”
