Pane Rustica Reviews
Get the veggie sandwich! It is indescribably outstanding! Frankly, so is everything else there.
It’s a neighborhood favorite for a reason! Always great food, friendly service, and just around the corner. Do try to set space aside for their awesome bakery!!!
We had dinner here tonight - excellent service from Chris and great food (especially the desserts)
Definitely someplace to go again.

The restaurant has a cozy and modern atmosphere, making it a favorite neighborhood spot for dinner and a great place for various occasions. Some guests have been returning for 25 years, highlighting the consistency in quality and experience. Recent visitors praised the attentive service, especially their server Matthew, who recommended the chef's special ravioli stuffed with prosciutto, which was described as absolutely delicious. Several enjoyed the spaghetti ciao Bella and salmon, with one mentioning the watermelon appetizer salad as one of the best they've had. The swordfish was perfectly cooked with a delicious sauce that enhanced its flavor, and the grilled dorade fish was delicate and lightly seasoned, highlighting its sweet and mild taste. Side dishes like roasted cauliflower received praise for being yummy, and dessert options such as apple pie provided a sweet ending to the meal.
