    Have visited often before and enjoyed, but they have just stopped being willing to split a bill. This makes dining with friends unnecessarily complicated. Also noise levels more intense than I remembered. Food was good and staff friendly, but likely will not return.

    We always have a wonderful experience at Rustico. My husband loves the paella! We also had chicken piccata and chicken Marsala. Both very good! Service was excellent!

    VERY extensive and varied menu. Fast service but we did not feel rushed. Very large open space that is not particularly noisy. From paella to pasta there’s a lot to choose from and all seem well done and some dishes are rather unique.

    Nice ambiance. Seafood paella very good, nicely seasoned. Chicken marsala good, very tender, could have more mushrooms. Split house salad, vinaigrette; enough for two. Decent wine pour. Street parking. Would return.

    I enjoyed that type of neighborhood feel with a touch of upscale dining! The servers were friendly, helpful and courteous! Celebrating an anniversary at Rustico was such an awesome experience and memory! Even after the day was done Rustico left a lasting impression!! Thank you...
