This was my second time this year dining here with friends, and each time we were all thrilled with our dishes! Since I must eat gluten free, I was especially happy with the choices offered to me; this goes beyond just offering gluten free pasta! I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for delicious Italian food and drink, including wonderful cocktails!

We had an excellent dinner at Rustica with friends. The staff was attentive and friendly and the homemade pasta dishes were delicious! It was very busy so the noise level was a little high but that was to be expected. We will definitely dine here again!

We were first timers to Rustica based on a recommendation. The food was absolutely incredible and the servers were quite kind. Andreas (son of the owners) brought my wife back to meet his Mom (the chef). Things like that make for an incredible evening.

One of our favorite places. Melt in your mouth homemade pasta, great flavors. The eggplant and meatball apps are the best. The pot chop is excellent (get the cherry peppers w it). It's a gem.
Jed
Not the best experience, waiter is as very pushy and then won't bring us the check for 15-20 minutes because we didn't order drinks or dessert . Not great,ok food

Excellent food, everything fresh and professionally prepared.
Portions should be a bit larger for the price though.

Always a great value when using a Groupon but otherwise can still be an affordable dinner option. Most main pasta dishes are under $30 but don't expect to take home leftovers as portions are not large. Recently had a special of chicken parmigiana that was pounded so thin it felt overcooked, like a plank. It seems they give you the bare minimum to complete the dish. The service is attentive and the vibe is fancy as there are white tablecloths involved. Many diners were ordering dessert and it did look good but we opted for a local ice cream shop nearby.

Excellent food, wonderful Negroni, service was discreet and unintrusive, yet spot on when we had a need. An excellent experience
Fred
Food was delicious and our server was friendly and efficient. However, although we arrived at 6:05, our main course was not served until nearly 7:30, and we nearly missed our play at the Goodspeed, at 8:00. We had no time to leisurely enjoy our meal, and certainly no time for coffee or dessert. We know that many of your guests go to plays nearby, and that we should expect dinner to take some time to be served, but this was well beyond what we've come to expect at you lovely restaurant.

Great place to enjoy fancy wine! Couldn't stop eating bread with olive oil. The pasta dishes are freshly made with very tasty tomato sauce. So much better than Olive Garden pasta! Rich people go there. The only minus is the dishes are small, that's why I couldn't stop eating bread (which was only 4 tiny pieces). Try dessert menu, their cheesecake and fruit filled pastry is superb! Definitely a fancy shmancy place to have a nice date!
Always a wonderful meal and the service and prices are always great! Will return again and again.

We returned for a quick dinner before a show at Goodspeed (only 10 minutes away.). A drinks menu offered interesting cocktail options that were our appetizers. Mains were tasty, including ravioli, linguine with clams, putenesca, and a chicken parm special. Service was friendly although could have been slightly more attentive. We didn't have time for desserts, the options looked yummy. Maybe next time.

This was my first time visiting the Rustica Ristorante. I was looking for somewhere different that I had not been to before. I heard there were good Italian restaurants in Chester so I chose this one. What sold me was homemade pasta! There were 4 of us in my party. We did make reservations (which is definitely a plus) for a Saturday night. We were seated right away , the service was on point and the food was delicious. We will definitely visit again.
