    As always the food at Rustico was outstanding. We were there for lunch, so it was quiet and a great place for a business lunch. And while the server was fine, we kept having to motion for him to attend to our requests, i.e., placing our order, refills on drinks, asking for the bill. He could have been a bit more attentive. That said, he responded quickly, got everything in our order correct, and generally was very nice.

    Great spot for a celebration or a special night out. Not inexpensive, but portions were generous and the food was great. I'd absolutely come back.

    Please with the complimentary bread basket, started with the short rib crostini's and those were great! Very rich and savory braised short ribs with the Jalapeno aoli to compliment it. I got the NY Strip which came with sauteed broccoli and some truffle fries. Everything was really good came out in a timely manner and special thanks to the Manager Eloy for gifting us a dessert which was the Bread pudding paired with a Pistachio gelato which was phenomenal, nice and hot with the cold gelato to mellow it out. 10/10 would recommend and will be returning! Thanks Eloy and Rustico team!

    The experience was perfect with exception they did not have our reservation. I was able to show them my confirmation but they could not see it on their end. It wasn’t a problem as it was not busy and we were able to be seated right away. However it did concern me about future reservations with Open Table.
