Darryl and I have eaten there several times and have found our favorite place in the Tri-city area! Their staff are top notch ( especially Milan!!) and the food is out of this world! I highly recommend them to anyone who would love a great experience on every level possible. Well done Rustico!!
I absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere and crew there are awesome. The food...so good! Prices are excellent in my opinion for the quality of the food we had. I cannot wait to go back and use that beautiful patio and eventually fulfill my mission of trying everything on that menu!
4 starts because it took a little too long for the pizza to come out,and it could've been better ,I suspect they didn't get it right the first time.
Donuts were not as advertised so disappointing on that aspect.
Other than that, food was fresh , super cute patio
And our kiki was allowed with us as well, bonus points there!
What a wonderful experience! The food was a 10/10 and the ambience is exquisite! I loved the fresh pesto in my pasta. The Arancini was the best. Save room for dessert because these ppl serve the freshest brownies!
The portions are not at all pretentious and I really felt like I got my money's worth 😊
Great patio and atmosphere, great service, and great food with large portions. We'll definitely go back. Bon appetit!
First time there. The food hands down was authentic and , flavourful. Best Italian food I’ve had in a very long time. I am celiac and that was probably the best pizza crust ever!! My son had the gnocchi with chicken, bacon and walnuts and it was delicious. Would go back for sure.
However, not sure if we went on a “extra busy” day or what, but the length of time to wait for everything was disappointing. We waited so long for our drinks, and food that it was getting kinda ridiculous near the end..
I didn’t have to wait long for my bill, but saying that, I would go back. At least I know what to expect for next time.
Our experience was delightful from the moment we stepped in the door. Our server was attentive, the food delicious. Thank you for a great date night!
Ordered from the family style menu. The meals were fantastic. Good portions, hot, well packaged. Fantastic options. The staff was accommodating to some of our changes and the despite the long list of add ons no mistakes were made. Don't suggest the calamari as a take out item. It does cool down faster and you miss out on the crispness. We all loved the aranchini and the spicy sauce-- a must try. This was our first time ordering and glad we did. We loved and will order again.
Amazing place for a romantic date. If you're really trying to impress that Tinder date, take her there! Rustic, ambient, music isn't too loud so you can carry a conversation and they really play some good romantic classics. Pizzas were amazing but definitely go for the arancini. I genuinely had tears in my eyes. What a gem of a place.
Went to rustico this afternoon and it was pretty quiet at that time. Sat at the patio but it was a bit chilly so went inside. The patio is a cute space but right next to the road. We ordered the Mediterranean pizza and the pesto Alfredo gnocchi. The pizza was good, and their quality ingredients definitely shine through. The crust was perfect. The gnocchi was definitely one of the best I have had in the area, almost a cross between fondant potatoes and tater tots 😂 if that makes sense. The sauce was delicious and the walnuts and chicken tasted amazing. Definitely great place to grab food if you’re in the area
