I had a delightful dining experience at RustiCucina! The fettuccine with meatballs was bursting with flavor, and the garlic bread was a standout - especially since we got it free for checking in! Don’t miss the luscious tiramisu for dessert; it’s a perfect way to end your meal...

RustiCucina is a cozy gem in San Diego! 🌟 I dined here on a bustling Friday night, and I'm glad I made reservations. The warmth from the fireplace adds to the romantic ambiance.
We started with the garlic bread - absolutely divine and free with a Yelp check-in! The fettuccine with meatballs was hearty, with massive, flavorful meatballs. Do not skip the lasagna, which was perfectly cheesy and deliciously fulfilling.
For dessert, the tiramisu is a must! Overall, the service was top-notch and the atmosphere was lively. I can't wait to return! 🍝✨
