The food was very good with generous portions. My fettuccine Alfredo needed a little salt (and I rarely ever add salt at the table), but it was still very good. Of the five of us, no one complained and we all had leftovers. Our waiter could have been a bit more warm and friendly. You know how you sometimes get that feeling that your server is not having a good day? Nothing overt, just a slight bit of attitude. The ambiance was great. The space is not crowded, and the restaurant was full. Loved the exposed-brick wall, the huge bar and the warm atmosphere. The experience wasn’t perfect, but definitely 4/5 stars.

This was a great find as the menu was huge with an amazing variety of tapas. They were delivered in a spaced out way that kept us engaged and yet not waiting or overwhelmed with dishes on the tables. Highly recommend trying a little of everything. You will not be disappointed.

Rustico continues to be a solid "go to" for a good meal, conversation and attentive service. On this visit I had one of their specials for the day-- Lobster Risotto. It was fantastic!
