I have lived in NYC for 35 years and traveled to Italy for 30 of those years. This place has fantastic Italian food. I just had pasta with mushrooms and the waiter shaved a giant black truffle over my pasta just like in Italy in the summer. It was just perfectly delicious and just like being in Italy. The beer is also amazing. They have Dolomoti beer. I can't recommend this place enough.

Sandro I love you! You are the reason why I eat Italian food. Rustico is the best! I recommend everything! My personal favorite is seafood linguine. Not on the menu, but if you ask for it, they will bring you the most delicious seafood linguine in the world. Geovani and the team in the kitchen are the greatest… Enjoy my friends. Sincerely Jason and Liza

I absolutely love this local Italian gem! The wine selection is impressive, and the owner adds a warm, welcoming touch to the experience. We ordered the Tartufata pizza, which was a perfect blend of mozzarella, mushrooms, and a generous topping of Parmesan cheese and truffle oil--simply delicious. We also tried the linguine with clams, and the sauce was incredibly rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness. Highly recommend this place for a delightful and authentic Italian dining experience!

Our table was reserved for a Mother's day dinner, we were seated and we did not recieve our menus until I asked for them about an hour and a half later. It seemed as if the staff forgot about us as they took their time to take our orders, and it was noticed that people who arrived after us had their orders taken and food served before us.

Rustico serves delicious food, especially the numerous varieties of pizza. I went there several times a week when they first opened and have been a regular up until moving out of the city. I recently visited Rustico and the place is consistent; I’m always warmly greeted by Sandro (the owner). He makes you feel at home. My default are the pizza margherita, tartufatta, and fried calamari. Every dish here is solid, including the dessert ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely the best Italian restaurant! The food was amazing, especially the pizza with high-quality ingredients. The shrimp bisque soup was very flavorful, and the homemade tiramisu was the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this place!

Worst steak I’ve ever had. Fatty & grisly. Quite pricey too. Took it home & threw it out.
As Italian I can definitely say this place has real high quality Italian recipes and wines.
