I think the portion size was a bit small and they did some filler moves like adding lots of zucchini sticks to the fried calamari but everything tasted wonderful, especially the pizza. The staff was very friendly.

Absolutely amazing service. The manager is hilarious and makes you feel very welcome. And the chef even prepared a special dish for us! The rest of the food was okay but the panna Cotta was very tasty.

This might be the best Italian food I’ve had in NYC. I know, that’s a bold statement! But the food just melts in your mouth. The owner and the staff are very warm and welcoming. For me, personally, it brings back memories of an old school Italian restaurant I grew up going to with my parents in Jersey. I highly recommend the burrata & prosciutto insalata. I’ve had the chicken cutlet with the creamy Gorgonzola sauce with prosciutto over the roasted potatoes. Wow wow wow! This is honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I’ve ordered it twice in the past two weeks. 😬 topped off with an aperol spritz! 😍 bravo! I’m sure we will be back here very soon. I can’t wait to try one of the pasta dishes. Thank you for having us! 🩷

Had dinner here with my mom and a friend. Everyone enjoyed their main dish and the appetizers. We ordered burrata which came with prosciutto, avocado salad, fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and truffle, salmon with potatoes and brocolini (the sauce was great), and seafood pasta. We had a delicious sauvignon blanc..it was a little sweet though. Would definitely come back.
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!
