Neighbourhood gem
Good for groups
Child-friendly

Rustico is the quintessential neighborhood pub on the edge of Old Town Alexandria. The menu features seasonal, hearty American fare from a wood-fired oven and grill, including pizzas and rotisserie meats, along with other rustic cuisine using the freshest local ingredients available. There’s also no mistaking Rustico’s love for barley & hops! The bar’s focal point is a custom galvanized inverted T bar with 30 brilliant taps book-ended by two massive coolers holding more than 400 different types of ales, lagers, ciders and stouts.

We have been going to Rústico for years. However service has been hit and miss lately. There was a new waiter last night, we got one drink menú so took turns to look at it. There was only one brand of ipa on draft. He took the menú away. Pizza was great as usual. Also very noisy, can't hear a conservation.
RusticoResponded on 11 November 2024
Hi Canan! Thank you for your continued support over the years! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the pizza as always. We truly appreciate your feedback on both the service and noise levels. We apologize for the inconvenience with the drink menu and the limited IPA selection, and we’ll be sure to address this to provide a better experience in the future. We also understand the music was louder than you'd prefer—next time, feel free to ask for a manager, and we’ll be happy to adjust it for you. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

I met my former colleagues here for dinner and we were in a table in the corner, where it was quiet enough to visit easily. The menu options were good and tasty. We'll be back!

We’ve been coming here for almost 8 years now and each time has been absolutely wonderful. This food is always amazing. My favorite is the chicken meatball pizza with hot peppers but I’ve had almost every thing on the menu and they are all delicious. Can’t wait to go back. The cocktails are also incredible. My favorite is the gin ruby. It’s perfection.

Hi Kjjm, Thank you so much for the in-depth review and recommendations. We are pleased to know you enjoyed our delicious pizzas and beverage selections. We really appreciate you and hope to see you again soon!

RusticoResponded on 7 October 2024
Hi Ginger! Thank you taking time to leave us a not. We are sad to know you missed the bad and our special food didn't live up to your expectations! However, we are well known for our hearth fired pizzas and craft beers and I hope you had a chance to try the Oktoberfest beers.
