“Best food in Lake Placid!“

“We visit Lake Placid every year. For some reason, we had never realized that Caffe Rustica is tucked away in the Price Chopper's shopping center. Immediately when we walked into the restaurant, I was charmed by the front dining area, beautifully decorated with a spacious bar. Everything felt luxe while maintaining a cozy, old-school Italian ambience. We started with a Caesar salad to share, our usual go-to appetizer at other Italian restaurants. It was absolutely delicious with flavorful dressing and crisp, green lettuce - we were off to a good start! The stars of the show were our entrees. My husband ordered the chicken alla vodka special...he licked the plate clean! I tried some of the vodka sauce and can confirm it was perfectly balanced and scrumptious. I ordered the shrimp risotto dish (I believe it was called Tuscan Risotto). OMG IT WAS SOOO GOOD. I mean, insanely good. The risotto and sauce were perfection. I already am looking forward to returning to Lake Placid on our next vacation so that I can order that dish again. We ended the meal with one of the tastiest servings of tiramusu I've ever had. Also, the espresso martini was super yummy and I believe was topped with pumpkin pie spice which I adore. Service was 10/10, atmosphere 10/10, and food was unbelievable. If you're staying in LP, Caffe Rustica is a MUST! A new favorite for us.“
