The food was very tasty. Lamb chops were a little tough. Service was okay.My friend had her salad on the table.She wanted to eat it with her meal.It took a long time for the food to come out.And they kept wanting to take her salad away from her.She finally gave up and let them take it.

This restaurant is ok but not great. Portions are small and prices are high. Quality is so so. I don't mind paying for good food but the food quality did not justify the high prices.

I have not been here in a while and forgotten what a great place this is. The service was great, the food was fantastic!! Wow the wine and cocktails.  I will definitely be back!!

What a little gem hidden in a quaint area of CT. Purchased a Groupon and wasn't sure what to expect but were we surprised. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, we were approached immediately to be seated. Dining room had a warm feel with table linens and napkins. Server, Ashley provided excellent service and was very knowledgable with specials and questions we asked. The salad to start was perfect with enough dressing but not overdone, enough Gorgonzola for flavor not excessive and the display of vegetables was impressive. The pasta dishes were exceptional with their home made freshness and the sauce was delicious with much flavor. The menu has many options for your liking and descriptive to make ordering easier. The dessert menu had many options all which looked delicious as we noticed most tables were indulging, so we did too with the gelato. We will return with friends and family. Please try this place, you will not be disappointed and I dine at many restaurants.

We've been going here a few times each year for 15 years or so. The menu has not changed even once. Another annoyance is the specials are not printed out and the server does not specify the price. However, the food is decent although not very creative.

We had a 2 year old with us. Any noise level was due to my grandson having a meltdown because he is 2!! Lol It didnt last long because my grandson also loved his pasta! The food was delicious! The waitress and the entire staff were wonderful . Very accommodating!
Debbie
Very good meal. Our waitress was very attentive and extremely social. Wait time for food was good. The meals were wonderful. We've been here before and will most definitely return. Thank you for your consistency and for being a restaurant where a good meal is always a given
Steven
We absolutely love coming here and were not disappointed again! Everyone's salads and main courses were delicious (absolutely loved my Fettuccini Carbonara) and our friend's first visit was a success. Plus, Ashley was terrific being very helpful and attentive but not too much. Can't wait for our next visit.

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.
