    Omg… so this time my husband had the Salmon and stuff ravioli, the flavors were blended so well together and very juicy.. he absolutely loves this dish! I had the Lamb Chops with Fingerling Potatoes and Spinach… I’m in LOVE! I need this again today! We also had the Jimmy Margarita again as well. Once again… Rustico is always the best! Per usual! Our servers are always very nice and the staff overall are great at what they do. 💙 Thank you. ☺️

    The food was very good with generous portions. My fettuccine Alfredo needed a little salt (and I rarely ever add salt at the table), but it was still very good. Of the five of us, no one complained and we all had leftovers. Our waiter could have been a bit more warm and friendly. You know how you sometimes get that feeling that your server is not having a good day? Nothing overt, just a slight bit of attitude. The ambiance was great. The space is not crowded, and the restaurant was full. Loved the exposed-brick wall, the huge bar and the warm atmosphere. The experience wasn’t perfect, but definitely 4/5 stars.

    This was a family birthday celebration, and the restaurant went out of its way to make it a special one for us. I am very grateful.

    Excellent service. Great food. Maria and Edson were awesome. Met friends for dinner. After dinner we went to the bar for drinks. We had a great time.

    This was a great find as the menu was huge with an amazing variety of tapas. They were delivered in a spaced out way that kept us engaged and yet not waiting or overwhelmed with dishes on the tables. Highly recommend trying a little of everything. You will not be disappointed.
