I returned on March 11th, 17 years since I last had dinner at Rustico (after having moved out of state) and found its quality had not faltered, food-wise and service-wise. Still tops!

I have lived in this area my whole life (minus college) and had only eaten here a couple times years ago. I was lucky enough to have friends who frequent it and suggested we go last night. I’m so glad we did, because in an area where there are VERY FEW great restaurants, this is my top pick!!

We heard this place was good so booked for a date night out. We were seated by the hostess and told we had a time limit on our dinner due to a large party coming in later. We were kind of in shock because it’s an upscale place. We mentioned to our waitress we thought this was unorthodox and she said the large party booked before us and because we booked today we have to leave to accommodate then. I think that response was even worse than being given the time limit. Why book the small table then? Just plain greedy to sacrifice someone’s night out for an extra table. We are just thankful we were not celebrating anything important like an anniversary. We made the best of it, but frankly I kept checking my watch to see how much time we have left. Took the relaxation and the enjoyment out of the evening for sure! Then we could not get a refill on our bar drinks for about 10 minutes. We asked the bus lady for a refill on bar drinks because we could not find our waitress and she said sure, and came back and refilled our water. At that point it just became comical and we started laughing. In fairness the food was decent and they did comp us for one round of drinks for the time restriction, but it just does not make up for the rest. We had a good laugh at how horrible it was so it want not a total loss. We got a story!

The food was amazing. The brushette left me wanting more and the Caesar salad was yummy. The service wss spectacular. We went for a family party in their private room outside, it was warm and comfortable. Jackson was our server and was very attentive to our evey need. Can’t wait to go back for a “regular dinner” and try other selections. Thanks for making the event memorable.

Rustico has been there forever! The double cut pork chop is a favor of mine. Slightly pricey but the food justifies the price.

Awesome dinner & experience! Alberto(guitarist) told us to come watch him play on Mon & Tues, & have some of the best Italian food in the whole area. He was spot on & we will be back often for both! Thanks!

When we walked in, the owner greeted us warmly and when I told him this is our 1st Visit, he said we would have a phenomenal experience and if we didn’t, to see him. The experience was indeed phenomenal.. I’m vegan and my wife is vegan and gluten free. They were able to accommodate us cheerfully. I had a pasta primavera and my wife had a customized Salad. Our server Anna Treated us well and promptly. It seemed like there was a busy and repeat clientele. I loved the Tuscan décor. Of course the Price point is higher than other restaurants in the area but you do get what you pay for.
