Ruscello - Nordstrom South Coast Plaza

It was surprisingly good! our waiter was wonderful and he didn't have to try hard to talk me into the affenbrot (big choice) together with the other articles we ordered. the cocktails were really tasty and we were happy with the berry lemon crepes and the veg fritatta. it was a good opportunity to fill before shopping.

A wonderful selection of food and the sundae cookie dessert was delicious!

This is my go to lunch place and I always have a great time with friends and the food is delicious

Nordstrom’s Cafe Ruscello is one of my favorite little places to eat. I love being able to stroll through Nordstrom to shop and know that we can grab a little bite. They have everything from soft drinks to Champagne. Their tomato basil soup and lobster bisque are phenomenal. I made a reservation for my daughter and I here before we headed across the street to see Hamilton. It was the perfect little place to start our evening. Our server Abdul was such a sweet man who took such good care of us. He was very attentive to whatever we needed and our food came out hot and delicious.

Service was fantastic. Had the mushroom tortillas for lunch. Very small portion for the price. Also the tortilla was too tough and crunchy. But the ambiance is perfect in Ruscello.
