Every time I go to this place it’s great. Feels like an authentic Italian restaurant. Complimentary bread was very good! Every time I get something it’s delicious. The Arrabbriata is no joke the best I have ever had. People who work here are amazing too. I wish I could remember the ladies name who served me last time. But, all the staff I have ever had there was amazing!

The best Italian spot in the area! I love it there so much! I definitely recommend the deserts ?

Best place in Murrieta for Italian food.

Best mussels and clams risotto I’ve ever had! The owners work so hard to make everything perfect! Great family owned restaurant!

Disappointment abounds here. After being here for 1 hour and 20 minutes we FINALLY got our food. The kitchen has had an hour to prepare the meal. Our waitress was absent for all but 3 brief instances in that hour timeframe. Four of the individuals at our table were going to order alcoholic beverages but since the waitress was so absent they got tired of waiting and forgot about it. They brought out two meals out of 12, and never brought the others out until half an hour later. 11 had been served, one is still waiting. I sit here at the booth actively writing this as I was one of the two. The Margherita pizza was nothing to write home about and probably more of an insult to Italian cuisine. I ain’t comin’ back or tippin’. #yougetwhatyougive

The restaurant was cozy and intimate. My family and I were visiting from Las Vegas and decided to stop by Rustico for the cheese wheel pasta. Although it is only offered on special occasions, we are definitely coming back because of the excellent service we received! David was amazing! He made us feel welcomed and well taken care of! Thank you, David, for having us!

Food was great. Even though it’s a lot of bread/pasta I didn’t feel overly full. The server was friendly and attentive. Only complaint was that it was a little warm in the restaurant. Could’ve had the AC running better.

If I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars, I would. I have been here several times and am never disappointed. Francesco, the owner is one of the kindest people I have ever met, and you feel like family when you enter his restaurant. Every time I walk through the doors, I feel like I just got to family's house for family dinner. All of the staff go above and beyond in everything they do. I always leave uplifted, happy, and full. Keep up the good work team. I will be back soon!

Ordered to go, got 2 large, 2 topping pizzas, my total was $60.00. The price was ok, on par with pretty much everyone else in the area, the taste wasn't terrible, but the texture was a bit weird. It didn't taste like melted cheese, it reminded me of more like a quesadilla that was taken off the stove too soon, and the pizza came out with a weird texture. It still wasn't bad, I think that's how the place makes it, I don't think it was a mistake, but it's just not my cup of tea. I didn't really mingle in there, but what little interaction I had, they were nice people, quick to help. The inside looked really nice too though, might make for a nice date night.

Quaint eatery in a local neighborhood. Hubby loved his steak dish. Commented that it's the best he has had in a while. My antipasto salad was ok, but I believe it was an appetizer and not meant for a full meal. Will be going back to try more dishes.
