Rustica Cucina Italiana

Pretty decent food for a small town. We were hard pressed to find vegan food around these parts that stay open reasonably late. Super tired of Thai food so of course, options are limited. My husband normally avoids cheese but on these kinds of trips he compromises and eats it. He actually loved his pizza. The fried artichoke salad was pretty good and the pasta with chunky sauce was quite flavorful. It’s nice I could get it without cheese. Server was nice and efficient.

The food is exceptional — particularly the chicken parm. I visit from CT ~ 1x per year, and this is THE BEST every time (consistent, for 3-4 years) — and excellent value. The pasta special (perhaps a play on steak Marsala, plus spinach and tomatoes) was phenomenal — per my wife’s very high standards. This restaurant [and chef] is underrated with anything less than 4.8/5.

I took my daughter here the night before we were both running a half-marathon to carbo-load. First and foremost, the food was excellent and reasonably priced. It is simply great, traditional Italian food as good as any you would find in the North End. I had the baked penne which was perfectly prepared and arrived piping hot.

I would also like to share what happened afterwards. My daughter discovered she had left her airpods in the restaurant - long after it had closed. We were dismayed to find o

Wow! My husband booked a table for our birthday whilst we were staying in the area. Great atmosphere although it was very busy. Service was good but the food ...the food was outstanding! I think the best pasta dish I have ever had. The depth of flavor, the quality, the portion size....amazing! The tiramisu.....just make room that's all I'll say! This is a must visit place just make sure you book a table!

We went here for my 50yh birthday recently. The food was good, the drinks, especially the espresso martini, we're excellent. Tables are quite small and they were short servers. The server we did have, 1 for all 13 of us, was very nice. I would try it again.
