RustiCucina

"I was not impressed with the vegetarian / vegan options at all. However, the staff and buzzing atmosphere definitely carried the entire experience. If you’re going to go, be sure to get the Sicilian artichokes!"

"Oh my wow!!! First time here, and I will definitely be back! The atmosphere is busy and fun. The restaurant is busy and vibrant. The 2 patios are inviting, and the bar is fun, and the staff is wonderful. The cocktails and wine list to die for. The food is wonderful. Must see when in Hillcrest. Nino and Ashley are amazing!! Tiramisu is outstanding!!"

"Not much a salad girl, but the Caesar salad was so good! The veal was so delicious and tender. Lemon cake and tiramisu is a must to finish your dinner."

"RustiCucina was…. ok. The food was average and I’m glad we paid happy hour prices. The sangria was watered down, the garlic bread was meh, the zucchini blossoms definitely had potential (but the fig jam made them soggy), and the fried burrata was good (during happy hour it’s half off). We did build your own pasta with the pacheri dressed in Salsa Alla Vodka. The al dente was spot on. This may seem weird, but it tasted better the next day when I heated it up for my lunch. I doubt I’ll return but it was worth the try! Service was great."

"Delicious with amazing service. Fantastic place with great ambiance. There were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try. Luckily, it was so delicious that we will be back to try to the others. Wanted to try the cheese wheel special that everyone raves about. However, we got grandma’s ragu and wild boar sausage pastas which were fantastic. The squash blossoms were delightful with their cheese blend which I could actually eat because it wasn’t heavy with gorgonzola in the mix and they add a sweet glaze and spicy marinara that hit all the taste buds. And their garlic toast is like none other… so garlicky and so crispy that maybe not all will like but it’s worth getting since it’s not like most Italian places."
