    We loved our visit to Rustica. Staff were friendly and attentive. We the fettichini cabanarra and veal chop both dishes were excellent. Expresso Martini and a Sombrero to quench our thirst. We also had some coffee and desert to top off our dinner. Definitely will be going back.

    It took 2 and a half hours to complete our meal. 2 people had to leave before they finished their dinner because we had a show at the GoodSpeed. My Rack of Lamb wasn't even cooked enough despite waiting 1 hour for it.....

    The food at Rustica is very good. The pasta sauce is great, and the Veal chop was excellent. Service is very good.
