    The food at Rustico was delicious. Service was fantastic and the restaurant itself is lively, fun and casual, while allowing for table conversations. My only complaint is that prices seem on the high side.

    This was our first visit since Rustico moved to the new location. The new space is comfortable and spacious, with perfect lighting and well-chosen artwork. The menu continues to offer such variety in both food and drink. My husband ordered a seafood pasta off the weekly specials menu and I had the carbonara. Both were yummy, and the carbonara was particularly excellent. Service was friendly and attentive and contributed to our pleasant meal.

    I was really looking forward to the lobster corn chowder. I wish the menu or the server would have informed me that it was spicy. Had to send it back.

    Service was good. Thought the dishes were of average quality - nothing really special.
