The host greeted us and sat up promptly. The restaurant has a a nice atmosphere and worked well for my group. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and food and the price is reasonable. The floor was a bit slippery where we sat and by the restrooms. A few more nonslip mats/rugs would be useful. A couple people at my table felt the server could have been more thoughtful and attentive.

The food was amazing. Our party all went with entrees so we did not try tapas. The owner and staff were extremely attentive and accommodating.

A solid place to have dinner in OP. The drinks are good and dishes are good. I do think the tapas are overpriced for the quantity

Extensive menu. Excellent food! Had to wait a little longer then usual for appetizers and then food while other tables sat after us were already getting main dish but food taste and service out weighed that. Would highly recommend.

I had visited Rustico's original location on Lake Street in Oak Park when it first opened. I was not impressed. My family and I checked out the Oak Park Avenue location last night and I was in for a very pleasant surprise. This is a completely different, wonderful restaurant! All of our dishes were top notch and the service was very attentive. Also, it was completely full of diners. Obviously, my neighbors have been on to a great thing before I was. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely evening, Rustico!
