A solid place to have dinner in OP. The drinks are good and dishes are good. I do think the tapas are overpriced for the quantity

Extensive menu. Excellent food! Had to wait a little longer then usual for appetizers and then food while other tables sat after us were already getting main dish but food taste and service out weighed that. Would highly recommend.

I had visited Rustico's original location on Lake Street in Oak Park when it first opened. I was not impressed. My family and I checked out the Oak Park Avenue location last night and I was in for a very pleasant surprise. This is a completely different, wonderful restaurant! All of our dishes were top notch and the service was very attentive. Also, it was completely full of diners. Obviously, my neighbors have been on to a great thing before I was. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely evening, Rustico!

Early dinner at 5:30 p.m. Very open upon arrival. Became lively and a bit noisy in certain areas.Enjoyed our spot tucked into the wall on the North side deep in for conversation. Quality of food very good. Fried calamari especially tasty; seasoned well. Crab cakes good. Manhattan cocktail done well with the appropriate square ice cube. Eating at the bar would be a pleasant option.

We had a great dining experience at Rustico! Started with Fried Calamari which was really good, not greasy at all. We had Paella which was delicious, the short ribs which were excellent, and chicken piccata which was very good. They have a great menu with so much to choose from along with a good selection of wines by the glass. Great service as well!
