    Rustico was a great vibe. I loved the atmosphere. It was a busy night when I went in, so service was a bit slower. The drinks were ok, nothing fantastic. I ordered the lobster ravioli and my friend ordered the short rib gnocchi. They were both delicious. I would definitely go back and try this place again.

    Pleasant environment that is not too noisy. Well prepared food and an extensive menu with many options and very good specials. Great place for families and larger get-togethers due to the large size of the dining room.

    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.
