Came here with a group of co-workers. I’m glad they suggested this place. I always wanted to visit after seeing the Groupon for their brunches. We came here for dinner right when they opened. We ordered some calamari, beef carpacio and arugula salad to start. Our main dishes took a while to come out but it was worth the wait because our pasta was delicious. The only con was that the lobster was a little overcooked and rubbery but the clams and mussels were excellent and so was the pasta. I would visit again.

I’ve driven past this place hundreds of times, finally decided to stop in, and I’m glad that I did. Everything was cooked to perfection, the octapus, scallops, ribeye, and branzino. They used quality ingredients, with well thought out flavors. The portions were bigger than expected. The service was good, and I loved the ambience. I will definitely be going back soon.

A surprising find. Overall very tasty with a few minor complaints (corn under the crab cake is effectively frozen corn, but the crab cake itself was delicious). Scallops had a bit of that metallic preservative flavor but the cook was good and sauce and risotto with it were lovely. Duck was fantastic, but they don’t bring a steak knife with it and it’s hard to cut with the butter knife. Zeppolis were good but not mind blowing.

I went here for brunch a couple of weeks ago. It is a nice little spot. Its a little more than your average pancakes. It is also a cool date night place. The parking lot is tiny so you will be subjected to street parking. We came on an early Sunday afternoon so parking was easy.

This restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. The wife and I were there for dinner once and went for brunch today. The band skillfully played jazz standards as we ate brunch. As we neared the end of our visit, they allowed me to play happy birthday and another song (I brought my own trumpet). We will definitely be back here again.

LOVE. LOOOOOVE “Rustica”!!! Been going there a lot since the moment we’ve discovered it last year. It’s a short Uber ride from our house. The place is incredible from the inspiring decor, the (AMAZING) food, and Amazing portions. to wonderful service – the waiters and the owner/manager make you feel super welcome. I can go on and on. Love how it has several sections: the front has an upscale vibe, then the Bar has it’s own seating area, and then the endless covered patio-like space – perfect for parties. We’ve only done dinners there, but i’m contemlating throwing a party there. Did i mention I am crazy about “Rustica?”

Loved the decor. The food was delicious. I had the duck. It was amazing! Reasonably priced. Only issue is on the day we went the central air was not working. Me and my wife were really sweating. It was stuffy which made it uncomfortable. We really could not sit long to enjoy the delicious food. We got the food to go immediately. We did speak to the hostace who said the AC was down. Other than that this is a great place for date night.
