   We arrived on time for our reservation for six guests and were seated immediately. Our server, Sam, was very attentive throughout our dining experience. Sam saw our every need, even when we didn't know we needed guidance. The wine and beer selection was perfect and complemented all of our meals. We sat at a comfortable table on the veranda, and the ambience was exceptional. A live oak tree in the front yard was beautiful and majestic. Our meal started with a warm basket of garlic bread, which was excellent. Sam made sure we had enough for our table. Specials for the evening were enjoyed by three of our guests and the rest of us ordered from the menu. Everything was outstanding! This is the best Italian restaurant we have visited a very long time. Thank you for making Summerville, SC your home and your patrons are truly the benefactors!

   I just LOVE this place. It never disappoints us. Our friends from Indiana ALWAYS want a meal at La Rustica when then are here! I wish the space between tables wasn't quite so cramped but the overall atmosphere is cozy! The staff is always very pleasant and the food....well it is absolutely AMAZING!!! Love the way they have enclosed the front porch for "winter" availability!! And the outside when the little huts are up seem so fun. Want to try out there some time! Go enjoy the best Italian food around!!

   We had a great dinner with friends. We were in the heated bubble. We loved it because it was quiet and we had great conversations with our friends. The service was good. I love this restaurant and have been there many times. It is one of my favorite places in Summerville.

   I was sad the bubbles for outside dining were down but our table inside was perfect. I was nervous that my friends who had never been to La Rustica may not like it as much as I do but no one was disappointed! Everything was perfect from our drinks to our delicious dinners. We had the best dining experience and everyone agreed. They will all be coming back! Thankyou to all the staff that helped make our friends' night out so enjoyable.

   Came here for Valentine’s Day, this was amazing. The food was fantastic, we ordered the pollo parmigiana which was absolutely on point. I had gotten an espresso martini which was also spot on, the ambience was lovely. The service and waiters, waitresses, bartenders, they were all super friendly people and super informative about the restaurant and menu. I would definitely come back

   I’ll preface this review with it was Valentine’s Day. However, I don’t think that should be neglected in this review. We’ve been here before and loved it. This time was like no other time we’ve eaten there. Placed outside in a folding chair; in the past, porch seating was on a normal dining chair not a folding chair. Took 10 minutes to get a waiter and order dinner only since we had plans for drinks and desert after. Almost everything on the special menu was sold out. All substitutions for what was sold out wasn’t something we had eaten before at La Rustica. Honestly should have left at this point, but we gave it a shot. An hour after being seated, we got our food. Food was not up to the standard that we’ve had a La Rustica. Filet was so fatty I’m pretty sure if was a cut from a ribeye. The side of spaghetti was nothing more than store bought noodles which in the past experiences they were not that. Just not impressed with what was advertised as a Valentines special.
