Had caprese salad and split the bolognese with my daughter. Portion was big enough to split, but it was so amazing, wish I had my own! 🤣

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!

Mangiamo’s Restaurant was really good, service was excellent for our party of 8. The food was good portioned and tasty. We were also accommodated with eight separate checks. Some restaurants frown when you ask for this. My only peeve is the sun rays hitting our backs while eating; this only affected the guests who were sitting with their backs to the golf course. I wish the hostess had suggested that we move our table inside or at least inform us about how hot it can get.
