What People Are Saying About Rustico Italian Restaurant

In Short – Ribbons of handmade pappardelle, fettuccini and plump tortellini can be found among many fresh pasta selections at this family-style Italian restaurant. The large space accommodates 60, with a separate "stage" for smaller groups, and is decorated in a mish-mash of dark browns, greens, jungle-print cushions and rotating local art. Meatier entrees span the Italian range from chicken Parmigian to cacciatore--but in-the-know locals favor the pasta.

Great Rizzoto and great live music
by mimibm
I love the Rustico because it is a friendly and international place. The owner is a very eclectic man who had a restaurant with live music in LA. He has a lot of genuine and incredible stories about worl famous stars to share with friendly customers.
There is often live music and everybody is very friendly and fun to listen and talk to during the breaks.
What I really appreciate about Rustico is the audience. I always found other customers, music lovers who shared with me the delight of the music.
Rustico is not just a place to eat, there is way more to it if you take the time to look around, listen around and talk around. I am French, and I go there to get the "European touch" of culture that Rustico exports with warmth and mastery.

Terrible service. Bartender needs an attitude check.
by veronica415
"After trying a few restaurants (all of which were very crowded) we decided to eat at an almost empty Rustico's. This should have tipped us off. After waiting 15 minutes for a waiter to appear, we ordered a glass of merlot and two of the most expensive items on the menu. The waiter showed up with our wine and apologetically shrugged as he handed us a glass that was a half-pour. We asked that he please fill the glasses with more wine. The bartendar came to the table with a very small wine glass and filled it to the top. He slammed it on the table, almost wanting to pick a fight. At this point, we got up and left.
We believe the bartendar is probably the owner, and have never been more insulted in a restaurant situation. Needless to say, we will never go there again -- as the bartendar has emotional tourettes. In case he doesn't get it -- service is what the restaurant business is all about. With this kind of attitude, I give this place a few months."

I love this place
by missmiarules
Rustico is one of my favorite places since I moved to Sausalito. The owner and staff are exceptionally nice and so generous, and the food is wonderful! The Tuna Carpaccio is simply amazing. I love it. They have a great outdoor patio, and the place has so much room. I highly recommend it.
