   Our server Luis made a casual Saturday meal into a special occasion. With his knowledge of the kitchen operation, he was able to pace the courses perfectly without our even asking him. Key feature of his great service (and of all high level servers): he listened to us and delivered accordingly. Oh, and the pizza is very tasty too!

   A favorite lunch spot for years. I love the Caesar salad and pepperoni pizza (minus the hot honey) and many beverage choices (loved the Autumn Mule). Our server was stretched thin but was very pleasant. Look forward to my next visit.

   I love the casual, yet upscale atmosphere here. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. We never felt rushed. Looking around, I saw families, friends, and couples enjoying themselves.

   Delicious food and nice quiet environment. Perhaps a little too quiet (but it was the weekend after Thanksgiving) - usually Rustico is a bit more bustling. But the dinner and service were very good and the beer selection and skillet cookie always are winners!

   LOVE LOVE LOVE Rustico. We try to go every couple of months. The wide selection of beers as well as delicious food that includes numerous GF items (since all those factors are often important to our dining partners and ourselves) are the top reasons. We are very fond of the cauliflower, brussels, wings, beet salad and pizzas. For the non-beer people, the selection of cocktails is quite nice. Only complaint is that all the red wines tasted almost the same. Weird. No Meiomi or Caliveda - both smooth and drinkable Pinot Noirs and SUPER popular/best-sellers at Total Wine. The highlight of this visit was our server. We did not catch her first name but the receipt reads Palak K. SHE WAS WONDERFUL. So knowledgeable about literally everything on the menu as well as other subjects (like the beer advent calendars etc). She was perfect.

    First time dining here and it was exactly what we were looking for! Great ambiance, good variety to food and drink options, good location with easy parking too. Would definitely come back and recommend to others.
