    WOWSA!! I just picked a place when we were loading up the rental car at O’hare and boy did I pick right. Some of the best Italian food in the US. I’ve lived in Italy and I can honestly say it’s spot on! Even my kids and husband said they would make a special trip here again

    I had visited Rustico's original location on Lake Street in Oak Park when it first opened. I was not impressed. My family and I checked out the Oak Park Avenue location last night and I was in for a very pleasant surprise. This is a completely different, wonderful restaurant! All of our dishes were top notch and the service was very attentive. Also, it was completely full of diners. Obviously, my neighbors have been on to a great thing before I was. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely evening, Rustico!
