I came here for dinner on a Friday night.
I made reservations as it typically gets pretty packed here.
Everyone who works here is so kind and welcomes you with a huge smile.
They were very attentive.
The restaurant itself is very intimate and small.
There is also some outdoor patio seating available.
I would definitely recommend giving this place a try if you’re in the area. Food review: Calamari: (4/5) Super flavorful.
The texture and crispiness were perfect.
Good portion to share. Garlic bread: (5/5) YUMM.
This is sooooo good.
The texture and flavor are on point.
The best part is… if you check in on yelp you get it for free! Yep.
Free! Thank me later. Fettuccine with meatballs: (5/5)This was delicious, the meatballs were huge and super flavorful. Lasagna: (5/5) OMG.
Who doesn’t love lasagna? This was the bomb.
I ate it so quickly.
The crispy cheese on the hot plate …so good. Cheese wheel pasta: (5/5) First off, it’s so much fun to watch.
Secondly, the pasta was delicious.
It was white sauce pasta with broccoli and sun dried tomatoes.

Not much a salad girl, but the Caesar salad was so good! The veal was so delicious and tender.
Lemon cake and tiramisu is a must to finish your dinner.

RustiCucina was….
ok.
The food was average and I’m glad we paid happy hour prices.
The sangria was watered down, the garlic bread was meh, the zucchini blossoms definitely had potential (but the fig jam made them soggy), and the fried burrata was good (during happy hour it’s half off).
We did build your own pasta with the pacheri dressed in Salsa Alla Vodka.
The al dente was spot on.
This may seem weird, but it tasted better the next day when I heated it up for my lunch.
I doubt I’ll return but it was worth the try! Service was great.
