Food was good but service was slow. Had to ask for coffee refills, took a long time to get our check.
Great Pasta - Service was supreme !
Not as Italian as I was expecting. But the Salmon special was good. The rest of food was okay. There was a weird smell inside that tainted the mood. The service was okay too, just not good enough to make up for the mediocre experience overall.
Food and wine is always excellent here. I always make a point to take family here when I’m in town. Due to covid, had to dine in parking lot in a tent so no ambience. However, it was safe and quiet. Service is good while maintaining all safety measures. I will continue to return.
One of the best meals we have had in a long time. The service was fantastic, as were the NY steak, linguine with clams, and gnocchi! We will be back soon!
All good
Food delicious and large portions
Good service
All good
We ALWAYS love Rustico & we weren’t disappointed after not going out to dinners for over a year (due to Covid).
Thanks for keeping everything perfect!
It was a great experience! Although it was a little chilly, they made us comfortable by providing heaters. The staff was very attentive and pleasant. The food was amazing! Hopefully we can return once dining (outdoor or indoor) resumes.
Use to love going there for dinner. Thought the lunch was very disappointing. Plus, there were 8 older men sitting at a table with no masks coming in or leaving
FOOD ALWAYS GREAT. LOVE THEIR POUNDED VEAL CHOP DONE AL A PARM OR WITH CHOPPED TOMATOES AND GARLIC AND BASIL.
Excellent food with plenty of specials and the kitchen will make almost anything you request.
We ate in the tented outside space. It was cozy and inviting. The food was terrific as always and our server delightful.
Excellent quality service and food. Authentic Italian cuisine and at good prices. Romantic yet not dark.
The staff was friendly and incredibly accomadating. The food was top notch and they had the best tiramisu my wife and I have ever had. Will be back for sure.
We had the parpadelle with lamb and sliced truffle on top, and filet sole for entrees. Appetizer was excellent as well ( Calamari with potatoes). The wine was on point, we had a bottle of Sicilian wine that complemented our food very nicely. The pumpkin cheesecake we took to go was very delicate and would highly recommend. Highly recommend this local gem. Was also nice tone seated inside for a change during this Covid era.
Our waiter was more than slow and ignoring us. Even after we said we where ready to order he would still ignoring us. I only left a 10% tip, maybe then he will get better in his job.
It was disappointing since we where there 2 weeks before and service was perfect.
I only will recommend your place if you are really series to take care off that waiter.
Very good food and superb service which is a challenge in today's world.
Food is always outstanding!! This is our "go to" place.
My family was in town from Oregon. Sonny and Monica took amazing care of us, as usual. My family was suuuuper impressed. Food was perfect and service beyond that. I will continue to make my twice weekly stops there. For sure
Always a delight coming here. The staff is always very gracious and available. Service is kind and food is outstanding. I always allow the chef to make whatever he wants and I am NEVER disappointed.
Love this restaurant!
Lovely evening for sitting outside. Rustico's has made a great attempt to have ambience while being outside in the parking lot. It definitely make you feel comfortable with the distancing of tables etc. The food was delicious, as it always seems to be.
We were pleasantly surprised that there was indoor dining! The tables inside were at least ten feet apart. Our server was delightful. She was so sweet and accommodating . The bruschetta was wonderful. The heirloom tomato and Burrata salad was yummy. The branzino was delicious. Great local restaurant.
Been there many times & always up to expectations! Never had a bad experience, especially if you order the duck!
Love Rustico!
The food was very good and the service from the "Chocolate Bunny" was even better. We will be back, thanks!
Sat outside where they created a lovely setting in the front of restaurant where there is grass and trees. It was a lovely evening and enhanced the environment. Tables were socially distant and everyone wore masks. Service was excellent, food was very good. Delicious vegetarian pizza.
Rustico always delivers! Best Italian food in the conejo valley! Service also top drawer!
BEST PAPARDELLA WITH LAMB RAGU. ALL FOOD GREAT. SERVICE FINE TOO.
Rustico has really stepped up to deal with the COVID-19 restrictions. They have a patio with nicely spaced seating and have also opened up al fresco dining out in the grassy part of the parking lot. The menu and food remain strong and consistent. Great drinks and wonderful relaxed service. Corkage is $20 which is very reasonable these days. Just a great consistent restaurant with wonderful staff.
The food was terrific and our waitress was lovely!
Wonderful people working here!! I left my wallet there and received a call within an hr of leaving notifying me and I went back to get it. Instead of waiting for me to realize I had left it and possibly freak out they took the time to get a hold of me so they have the highest marks ever from me!! Thank-you Rustico ~ I will recommend this restaurant to everyone and my family and I WILL be back 😊
The food, as always, was fantastic. The service is great and Rusticos is the best restaurant in Westlake Village.
First time there, It’s probably they are getting used to the new setting, but service was no the best. Food was very good! Will go back for sure!
Great food and service in a beautiful outdoor space
We visit the sister restaurant, Tuscany, often. This was our first time trying Rustico. Professional, efficient and friendly service, delicious food, and an overall excellent experience! We highly recommend.
Nice waiters. Nice atmosphere outside
In these weird Covid times, Rustico has done a terrific job of transforming their outside space into a friendly bistro. The food and service remain impeccable.
Safe setup outside and using their in/out patio area. Food always great.
Loved eating outside. Usual great food and service.
