  • Special New Years Eve Menu

    Dec 31, 2024 - Jan 1, 2025
    Twice a year we open up reservations for all sized parties. Valentine's Day and New Years Eve! We offer a very special Limited Menu. We do ask that parties of 2 limit their visit to 1.5 hours and parties of 4 or greater to 2 Hours so that we can honor those reservations. We look forward to celebrating the new year with you all!

    La Rustica was well staffed for a busy holiday evening. Service was attentive, informed, and professional. Although they were out of a few items, everyone in our party of six found something to satisfy them. We ordered a wide variety of items, with the baked oysters and lasagna being the biggest hits. All in all, an enjoyable experience with excellent service and good food.

    The restaurant was quite busy, but our wait staff was very efficient and as attentive as possible. The food was excellent and no one in our group was dissatisfied.

    It took 35 minutes to get our bottle of champagne. Over an hour for appetizers, and over 2 hours for our food. Staff wasn’t apologetic or friendly. A waitress spilled salad dressing down my friends back into her sweater and coat and didn’t send over a manager or napkins and didn’t really seem to care. We had to ask for manager and request dry cleaning, instead of anyone trying to make it right. Great food and ambience, not worth the terrible service. Ruined our night

    I chose to celebrate my birthday with friends at this beautiful place because of the reviews. The atmosphere, the ambience, the waitress, and the delicious food just made everything come together. Can’t wait to go back.

    Wonderful total experience. I have been in the restaurant field for over 40 years and this restaurant harkens back to the Italian Restaurants of old. Garlic bread brought to the table as soon as you are seated...no charge, salad included with the meal, house made generous portions, Service was attentive, knowledgeable and timely. I took 3 couples to dinner who had never been to the restaurant and they all have elevated food palates. Everyone one raved about the experience. By the way this was my fourth visit and is a 50 minute drive from my home. Worth ever minute !!!!!
