I’ll give em points for gender neutral restrooms but other than that, horrible experience with the food. Calamari tasted like stale swai and the strawberry sparkler didn’t taste like strawberry. I only tasted the basil syrup. Sorry.
food was amazing. Korean BBQ wings, spaghetti and meatballs, custom pizza, all of it tasted amazing. Nice ambiance and pretty great location.

Rustico in Alexandria is a cozy restaurant known for its flavorful food and friendly service. The staff, including waiters and managers, are consistently helpful and welcoming. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a good place to relax and enjoy a meal. Customers especially appreciate the meatball appetizer, which is easy to split, and the pizza, particularly the crust, which is praised as amazing. The pasta dishes, like Bolognese with house egg noodles, come in a delicious red sauce, and the roasted chicken is described as flavorful. For dessert, the espresso gelato is a refreshing treat on hot days. The Basil Tomato Soup is highly recommended for its rich, velvety texture and perfect seasoning, making it a favorite comfort food. Live music adds to the pleasant vibe.
While most dishes are praised, some appetizers like calamari and ricotta donuts received mixed reviews for being just okay, and ricotta tater tots had a texture that didn't appeal to everyone. Service quality varies, with some guests noting slow check-ins, but overall, the staff's friendliness and attentiveness are appreciated. Rustico's craft beer selection and pizza are highlights. Despite the Arlington location closing, many customers plan to return for the great food and welcoming atmosphere.
