“ Went to Rusticucina tonight and had the best experience. Not only was the place beautiful but the experience overall was gratifying. We were greeted as soon as I came in with a friendly face and was kindly told how much my wait time would be as it was a extremely busy. I was seated before my actual wait time which was a pleasant surprise and our waitress quickly came for our drink order and brought us water as well. The staff is very efficient and friendly and kindly explained different options on food and was patient enough with us to explain the specials and their favorite dishes considering how busy it was. Alvin and Ashley were extremely helpful in overall with recommendations in drinks and food as well as very friendly, their service was greatly appreciated and Im sure the rest of the customers appreciated them too as I observed that everyone was receiving the same excellent service. The staff made us feel as part of the family and we appreciate every single one of them. ”

“ Ive stopped in here a couple of times now specifically for their specialty cheesewheel pasta. This most recent experience was a handmade tortellini pasta with the cheese wheel. It was one of the best things Ive ever eaten, period. The pasta is glorious. The added bonus is that the staff is also amazing. Extremely welcoming and friendly, they care about the food, the facility, and your experience. I would rate 6 stars if I could. To those that see this review, I strongly urge you to make a stop here. You wont regret the bang for your buck. ”

It should be 1. The service were the best people theyre so nice and cute. We went there for my best friend birthday we were doing a day trip to San Diego and let me tell you to be my last place was worth the time and everything they even added on house Bday cake slice just for her?? in this economy since when do they do free? See theyre sweet please make sure youre nice to them. The food and drinks were top notch we came from inside out as the food and drinks were lacking so we found this place by chance man the food was so good, and big portions we had to do a to go box and take to airport but it was worth italso the money?? Was worth it. We paid 180including the tip. And we had 3 different of pasta, appetizing, dessert tiramisu 3 of em. It was cheap compare to the other restaurants we had been on. Please give this place a chance as you will not regret it. Also ITS MUSLIMS FRIENDLY. There was a lot options with no alcohol or pork. ”
“ Not a huge restaurant but its nicely decorated. The vibe is very pleasant and staff are friendly but our server is a bit off though. Food are delicious and presentation is good. I saw they have a cheese roll and it looks fun. Maybe next time Ill try that. ”
“ Celebrated my Dads birthday here. All the food was yummy and authentic. We had Salmon Pistacchio, Carbonara, and Ossobuco. Even the daily soup, carrot soup was great. Only downside for me is difficulty to find street parking, as they do not have their own parking lot. ”
“ What an excellent meal! The fried burratta was fantastic, the pasta was fresh, the service was VERY on top of things, and the deserts were all amazing. The wine list focuses on Italian varietals with 1 Pinot option from the US and a cab or two on the list, and the cocktails feature a couple of nice options that may not be on other menus. For 3 people, appetizers, dinner, desert plus one bottle of wine was under 300 with tip included. All 3 of us said we wanted to come back. ”
“ Giacamo was a wonderful server. He was attentive, friendly, and got me seated minutes before happy hour ended to take advantage of the awesome deals. Give the zucchini flower blossoms a try as well as the burrata, so tasty! Oh and the watermelon cocktail perfect amount of spice and flavor. ”
