This was a place we spontaneously decided to dine. My boyfriend told me he'd gone before and it was good so I agreed.They immediately had a spot for us to sit. It was the perfect spot as well because they had musicians performing and where I sat, I was able to enjoy them. My boyfriend said he'd never been when anyone was performing (we went later in the evening around 7:30, not sure how frequently they have someone perform). They played up beat jazz and let a customer sing a song the customers father wrote while they played.The food was absolutely delicious, the waitress we had was knowledgeable and sweet. I will definitely be back.I think the unknowing adventure we had made it more magical, but it's definitely worth the money for the all around experience we got.

I hate to give a bad review so let me start with the positive. The service was good. The server we had was a polite, hard working college student. The restaurant was a quaint log cabin like atmosphere.The food on the other hand does not even deserve a 1 star. We had 3 entrees. Penne Vodka, Chicken Parm with Linguine and Veal Marsala with Linguine. I’m not sure which dish was worse. First we had the French onion soup that tasted like salty sewer water. We did send that back. We got a Caesar salad for an extra charge. The salad was served on a bread plate. For the extra $2 they could have put more than 2 pieces of lettuce on the plate. The Penne tasted like Glue. The Veal had a brown gravy with one mushroom that they wouldn’t even serve in a nursing home. The chicken was a larger portion and the red sauce was like out of a can but worse. The food was inedible. We each ate one bite and politely said we were full and paid our bill and went home and ate cereal for dinner. I would never try this restaurant

Upon walking in received warm and friendly service that continued through our entire dinner. Food is solid home style Italian with a good menu of choices and good wine list. Cozy atmosphere in the restaurant. Only word of caution is get there a little early as the parking lot can get quite full.

We had reservations for 7, however 2 people could not make it so there was only 5 of us. We were sat at a 4 top with a seat on the end in a major thorough fair of the restaurant near the kitchen and at bottom of stairs rom the upstairs dining area. then we ordered 5 entrees Only 1 entree of 5 was good. 1) ordered not mushrooms and all mushrooms all over it 2) ordered add chicken and came with no chicken 3) steak was so cold it could not even melt the butter on top 4) there was not enough sauce to even cover my pasta to eat. We mention these to the serve and we were just told that the food from the kitchen seems to go down hill after the head chef clocks out at 8:30. Then you should close at 8:30. I deserve to have the same quality food at 9:30 as those who ate there at 7:30. We were trying this place to cater a major event. We will not be using this place for our event . Nor will we return.

The food tasted great but the portions were very small for the price. For Italian I would have expected more. This is why I give it a 3 instead of 5 due to the mini chicken breast I got fir portion size for 25.00Dietary restrictions: Health gluten free options also

We were seated in the corner by the bar, table was rocking and waiter rarely refilled waters, weren't able to hear musician over the bartender. Calamari was off tonight over cooked, still edible, however tough, not up to par with the the given price point. Mains, bread, and salad were incredible as always, purchased off of the seafood portion of the menu.

This place was so different and homie! Romantic. I haven't been in two years. I go back the February 17th! For my 1 year anniversary of my marriage 7th year together! This place is amazing!!Vegetarian options: There not heavy on the stomach
Saw mixed reviews before dining here. Worked in restaurant industry for many years so was very curious. Service was a little slow for drinks, but overall server was attentive. Cozy dining room. Probably would have enjoyed it more if we weren't the first table right by the door, with lots of people waiting. The food was not as good as I was hoping for. I had the Veal Marsala and it wasn't that it was bad - it was about what I would expect to get in a diner up north, not an Italian restaurant. Wouldn't rave about it. 2 people in our party got the French Onion soup. I didn't have it, but the feedback was that it tasted with onion water...and it looked like that. My Broccoli Cheddar Potato soup was good, but again, not great. There was one person in our party who had a steak and she said that was good, as well as her side dishes. So if we ever went back, I'd stay away from the Italian dishes and order steak.
We were there on a Saturday night. We had a reservation, so we had no waiting at all. Kinda odd for an Italian restaurant, but they have the best filet mignon in this area! It's incredible. It's a relatively quiet restaurant. Our service was great, perfectly timed, from ordering through dessert (thank you, Megan!). The tiramisu is delicious. Altogether a lovely dinner out.

Casa Rustica is one of our favorite restaurants in Boone. They are one of the few left from when we moved to the area from California over 30 years ago. Dillion was our server and I can't say enough about how wonderful he was.
