    Weweremeetingold friends halfway. I found this restaurant on open table. Menu looked great. I asked fora quieter table in the back. It was perfect. The food was delicious, portions enough to bring some home for lunch. My margarita was perfectly made. If we lived closer, this would be my neighborhood go to!

    Love the cozy ambiance especially for the holiday season. Very prompt friendly service. Especially loved my cocktail ‘Mary’ and the apple salad. I will be back.

    Very festive and delicious. If you want to hear each other ask for seating in room away from bar. Food and cocktails very very good

    My wife and I shared the seafood pealla, which is as v ry good, but a little overcooked. That didn’t keep me from finishing the paella though:

    Great food. Great service. Good atmosphere. My only tiny complaint was the restaurant was cold sometimes. At the start, the hostess graciously sat us in the warmest area, but the air would come on intermittently. However the staff were all very responsive to our request for a warmer environment and made sure the heat came back on. We were able to enjoy our meal in comfort.

    Rustico is charming and the decor lives up to its name. I ordered a beet salad with salmon. I was hoping something better than what I make so that I could learn something new, but it was average. Presentation and taste could have been better. My colleague ordered the chicken piccata and pasta on the side. He felt the pasta was very salty. But he loved the bread pudding, which he felt was the best. I live downtown, so I'm used to those prices. But $50 (incl tax & tip) for my salad and 1 glass of wine, seems pricely for what it was.

    Met with friends for late lunch. Nice quiet atmosphere with soothing music. Two of us ordered the short rib dinner and one ordered salmon. Portions were huge and meat was tender. Salmon done perfectly. For dessert we ordered cannoli and fig bread pudding. Both very good each came with a scoop of gelato. Ordered two regular coffees and wanted one decaf coffee. They did not have decaf nor decaf americano. It would be nice to have in the afternoon for those who can’t have caffeine. Overall experience very good and we will return.
