Abrusci’s has been one of my favorite local restaurants for years. Every time I go, I’m reminded why I keep coming back. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and you can tell everything is made with care.

The staff is always friendly, attentive, and makes you feel like a valued guest.
Came out for my bachelorette dinner with a group of 8 of us and had an incredible experience! Our server Jakobi was phenomenal and took great care of each of us. The food was outstanding. I had the rigatoni & sausage and highly suggest it. This place is a must and would absolutely return.
First time in and what an experience!!! Jakobi was the best server we have had since being in Colorado! Out of town celebrating the future MRS. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience!! The food was great, but the service was the cherry on top!
My husband and I have come here several times but usually it’s for a quick lunch or happy hour. Tonight we came for dinner and had a delicious meal. Our server Samantha was excellent as well. She was very professional, prompt and kind. She recommended the steak risotto meal and it lived up to the hype!
We had to wait just a little for our table to be ready, and when we got sat, the owner personally came to the table and brought three apps on the house to apologize for the wait. All the food was so good and the service was great!
Everything was great, and the gluten free options are plentiful and delicious! Jennifer was an amazing waitress. I highly recommend trying this place out.
We had a wonderful experience at Abrusci’s. Our waiter, Jacobi, went out of his way to accommodate our special needs for seating and food allergies. He was also so patient with my MIL who was celebrating her 80th birthday. Thank you so much for helping make this day so special!
Super yummy lunch at Abrusci's Fire and Wine in Applewood this afternoon - their new Summer menu has some great additions, including STREET TACOS, which were delish! I also really appreciate the daily specials (free beer with lunch on Fridays) as well as the affordable and diverse wine menu. We love to sit on the patio (hello, big umbrellas and misting machines) and our service by Jakobi today was fantastic.
Our waiter Jacobi was very nice and had a great vibe. we would come here every day if he served us. Crowded because everybody loves it. Gluten free bread was amazing!
This evening was our first visit…Bailey was our server & she had so much to do with the lovely time we all shared. She was funny, attentive, accommodating & fast for as busy as the place was!!…true asset …treat her as such…see you soon
