    A bit of an off night at Rustica- need more servers and pasta dishes were not the same. Maybe a change in the kitchen? Still one of our favorites in the area.

    Homemade pasta. Fresh ingredients. Great desserts. My one issue: If you’re going to have a special old fashioned on the menu you should invest in the solo big square ice cube or ice ball.

    This is one of our favorite local restaurants and for good reason. The food is consistently excellent and everyone involved is friendly and makes you feel like a valued guest. The homemade pasta is exceptional, the eggplant is uniquely delicious — no need to go on. We’ve been here many times and are always eager to return. Outstanding on all counts.
