    Excellent dinner choices- we had the halibut special, ravioli, papperadelle, meatballs and Brussels salad. The drinks and desserts were all delicious.

    Two thumbs up from all four of us on the food and service on this Mother's day visit. As always, Andres and the entire staff provided excellent service from the appetizer course through dessert. The food was excellent - our lamb chops and pork chop were flavorful and perfectly cooked and the lasagna was mouth watering. Ten out of ten!

    The service at this restaurant is impeccable very attentive. not certain because if it was Mother’s Day, I would try again, but my pasta was cold and wasn’t very flavorful. because the service is impeccable I would definitely try again maybe just an off day.

    Rustica is always my favorite go to Restaurant! We have never been disappointed there. The food and the service are exceptional. Rustica is a family working together to please their customers, and they do exactly that.

    We had high hopes & we’re very disappointed. My husband ordered the veal chop special. $48 for overcooked grizzle.
