★★★★★ 5.0 Kelsey Fisher · Mar 2026

All the pastas are so so so good. Minestrone soup is fresh. Complimentary bread was good. Espresso mousse was so light and yummy. A bit too much whip for me though.

★★★★★ 5.0 Randal Moss · Jan 2026

One of the nicer Italian restaurants in Telluride. The food is approachable, traditional Italian and delicious. We went in on the night of Christmas Eve and they were gracious and engaging. The staff was extraordinarily attentive and made us feel welcome and cared for. The menu is broad and the meals are exceptional. I had a delicious risotto that was overflowing with mushrooms and flavor.

Rustico continues to be one of our favorite restaurants in Telluride! Our last visit was in 2016 and the visit for this review is from June 2025. Service was fast and consistent and the restaurant had a positive vibe throughout. Food, while expensive, was delicious. The spicy rigatoni was a specific standout. Would come back again next time we're in the area.

Great place to have a glass of wine or cocktails, food is outstanding and the service amazing! We ordered the tomahawk pork chop and pasta there.

Went to celebrate my wife’s birthday and had a fantastic meal. We were very thankful that we seated in the cozy main dining area because the other areas looked rather sterile and uninviting. My wife’s fettuccine with creamy mushroom sauce was amazing. I had the spinach, ravioli special and it was good but not special. The house bread served with the meal was excellent. Service from Mateo (?) was friendly, helpful and attentive.
