Rustico Alexandria 827 Slaters Lane, Alexandria, VA 22314

"I checked out Rustico with my family for the first time during Alexandria's restaurant week. We thoroughly enjoyed it! My husband and I had the seafood linguini, my son had the steak and fries and my daughter had the burger. The portions are generous and everyone said it was delicious. I saw on the website that reservations were required so I made those easily and we were seated almost right away when we arrived. I definitely recommend Rustico for a low-key date night, a family night out, or just good times with friends."

"The 16 ounce beers are around 12 ounces. Order a 16 ounce draft and 16 ounce can and you’ll see. Same glass is used for both but the can contents won’t fit in the glass. Several ounces left in can after filling glass. Food is good. Service is good. Drink selection is good. Menu deception is repulsive. Why not just put 12 ounce on the menu when serving 12 ounces?"

"We really enjoyed the atmosphere, service and especially the food."

"Definitely worth trying! We passed through the area and found this charming place over the weekend. It was warm and welcoming. We worried it wouldn’t be child friendly because of its cute artisan look and bar vibe but it was. The kids enjoyed crayons and paper games and we enjoyed a holiday drink while we waited. There was no crowd as it was early but the food did take a little while to come out. We always try the wings wherever we go so we ordered spicy wings and brunch pizza. The pizza was SO GOOD!!!! Do not be put off by the egg on top, it was so worth it! The crust has such a delicious crisp to it. The wings were definitely spicy as listed! However it was more of a spice and less of a flavor, as if they were just tossed in very spicy hot sauce. Try them if you’d like a kick! The staff was very kind and sociable, wishing us happy holidays which always leaves a good impression. Overall this is certainly a place to try if you’re in the area. We will be back for sure!"

"We ordered three pizzas (one kids cheese) and all three were delicious and well made. The crust was perfectly crunchy and flaky. I can't speak to the rest of the food but I can see they know what they're doing."
