Rustico - BallstonRustico Rocks!For a moderately priced restaurant, Rustico was a delightful surprise. Excellent food cooked with imagination, very friendly and efficient service, and quiet enough to hear one's tablemates converse. A find! Eat there before they raise their prices.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMOverall great food and anOverall great food and an incredible selection of beer.

No disappointments.4/29/2013 12:00:00 AMA great restaurant with anA great restaurant with an ambiance that surpasses its surrounding neighborhood rather easily. It has an impressively large selection of beers (get a flight of beers to taste), and I found the food delightful, as well as vegetarian-friendly. Place seemed to work for families, groups, and couples, though kids seemed a little out of place. Overall it's worth the trip, even if that part of Arlington doesn't impress.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMThe beer selection is amazingThe beer selection is amazing and surpassed only by the food. the carrot hummus us a must.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMBy far the best food in Ballston!A group of 5 from our office went here for lunch after years of eating at all the familiar places in Ballston and we were totally blown away. The hostess greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home; the waiter was extremely knowledgable and attentive but patient and non-intrusive when we asked a lot of questions and took forever to decide what to order then lingered over our meal; and the decor is modern yet warm and fresh. The best part was the food, which was fresh and new and absolutely delectable! 4 of us ordered the lunch box, a great combo deal of soup/salad/half sandwich for $15, and every item was savory and innovative, with twists on some old favorites. We will definitely return, perhaps even for dinner, too!4/23/2013 12:00:00 AMRustico was very good. TheyRustico was very good.

We were there early on a Saturday morning for brunch, so I am sure my experience might be different from, say, a Saturday night, but Rustico was pretty awesome. The food was outstanding and our waitress was very attentive.
