    Food was terrible. My salad had 4 chicken breasts in gravy thrown on top. Heat wilted the greens. Not mych in the way of veggies and virtually no blue cheese. I could not eat it and it cost well over $20.

    We had an excellent family meal with five people sitting outside. The interior looked really cozy so we will try that next time. The food was delicious. Appetizers and wine was great. Can’t wait to try again.

    We had a wonderful lunch outside. We had the spinach salad and the beet & salmon salads, both terrific. Salmon was grilled just right and a large portion we shared. Already booked a return for dinner.

    My mom has difficulty getting around. We had a rough morning and the people at Rustico made it so much easier. We had to adjust our reservation time last minute and they helped us. The food was incredible and completely worth it - try the short rib gnocchi! Thank you to the restaurant staff for today - you made things so much easier for me.

    A fantastically crafted menu and experience for diners of any age. You are never rushed, but also never looking for food or drink. Even the pickiest of young or old eaters will be able to find something delicious on this menu. Definitely save room for dessert because the caramel banana is amazing!
