    So sorry that you will be closing. We loved the minimalist interior and colors. And the cuisine was always gourmet. Wonderful staff as well. Wishing you all the best. It would be great if you'd open in another location!

    Most wonderful experience. We are devastated that they closed their business right after we visited!

    The staff was wonderful. There was a very large and noisy group eating and the only open tables were near them, and my friends and I wanted to talk with each other, so they kindly opened the second dining room for us. The food was excellent, the service was thoughtful, and the prices very reasonable. I'm looking forward to going again!

    My husband’s bucatini was so-so. My wild mushroom ravioli was wonderful. We’ve never seen a Caesar salad with tomatoes before but the dressing was good.

    The interior is lovely and frankly it's one of the reasons that encourage us to come back. It's calming and beautifully designed and appointed. It's also very clean which we all notice. I cook and I can tell you this is all homemade fare and it's wonderful. The hostess and waitresses are lovely and helpful and know when to show up at your table and when not to. Rustica is a winner. Do give it a try, you will not be disappointed.

    This was our first time here, after a long time thinking about it. Our reservation was at 6 on a busy Friday night, but we were seated within minutes of arriving. Lighting level was pretty high (later loweres), seats were comfortable, and servers came to the table quickly to take drink orders and leave the menus. Drinks were well made and nicely priced. Our food arrived promptly, with very generous portions. Portions could definitely be reduced in size, especially given the reasonableness of the pricing. We enjoyed the carpacio and calamari as appetizers, and the mushroom ravioli and the bolognaise for entrees. Way too full for dessert! Would go again.
