We were there for my daughters birthday this past Saturday. My wife and my daughter's boyfriend had the seared salmon which they loved. My daughter had the chicken parm, which she said was good. Her only "complaint" was that the sauce was a bit too sweet for her taste, but the portion was good and the chicken was cooked well. My son enjoyed his pepperoni pizza. He's not very adventerous. I had the Capellini Napoletani. It was very good. The capellini was cooked perfectly...read full review

Café Rustica, located in New Jersey, is a charming and quaint restaurant that offers delicious food and warm hospitality. The restaurant is popular, with a full house on the night one reviewer visited, and has limited parking spaces, a testament to its great food. The staff is friendly and attentive, with servers knowledgeable about the menu and apologetic for any delays. The menu features a range of Italian dishes, including pasta fagioli, lasagna, and pork chop, all of which are reported to be excellent. The dining area is cozy, but can feel tight when the restaurant is full, making it difficult for private conversation. Despite this, the restaurant is a great option for a night out with friends or family, and is conveniently located near the VA Hospital and other local attractions. Many customers note that the food is made with love and flavor, and the service is consistently good. One visitor shared that they had lunch with a friend and found the food to be excellent with good portion sizes and a nice variety. The almond joy dessert was described as perfect, and they plan to return. Another guest remarked that Café Rustica feels like being at Mom's house, with the food and service making for a warm experience. They enjoyed dishes such as filet mignon and veal parm, describing the flavors as out of this world, and praised the attentive waiter for her recommendations on food and wine. Overall, Café Rustica remains a beloved spot for both locals and visitors seeking quality Italian cuisine and welcoming service.
