Rustiko

Awesome experience here. Great food, great service and good ambiance. Some highlights were the fried bread appetizer, the first pizza on the menu (pesto and tomato) and the fried cauliflower. Personally I thought the fig and cheese pizza was too sweet. Fish was good (branzino with purple potatoes) and the papardelle was also great. Creme brulee was a little too burnt and bitter tasting.

Some of the best Italian food I've ever had! Rustiko has a great menu that even a picky eater can enjoy, a very welcoming ambiance, and helpful, well informed staff to help you decide between their amazing dishes. The food and the vibes make this place worth a special trip, especially if you want to immerse yourself in South Florida's vibrant kosher scene. Do yourself a favor and get over to Rustiko and when you do, try the crispy cauliflower bites!

We really enjoyed our meal. There was a really long line of people waiting for tables (all people who didn't have reservations, which is why it is really important to make and keep to your reservation) but they made us feel really comfortable and not at all rushed. We really enjoyed the room not to packed even though I'm sure they are trying to fit as many people in as possible. The food was excellent We really enjoyed and felt we were getting an experience we would not be able to just find anywhere.

Awesome food! Great service. Elevated flavors that take the dishes to the next level. Take your time and enjoy. It does take 10-15 from being seated to order taken but then the food comes really quickly. Passion mango smoothie is a must. They have a different chef for dinner (from 4) and I liked the variety on the dinner menu more. Both are fabulous though!

Reservation was 3/2/22 at 3:45. Photo taken at end of meal attached as owner will dispute Google reviews he doesn't like, claiming they are fake. (as he did with my comments about Kosh 2 days ago). Kids loved the pizza, Mac and cheese was very good as well. Truffle pizza, goat cheese bites, beets gnocchi, pappardelle truffle: all enjoyable and satisfying. They only major hiccup was a dead fly in the white sangria which a brought to the staff's attention and promptly returned (after I had unfortunately already taken a sip). I understand that can happen to anyone but generally I would expect a complimentary replacement glass of wine or free dessert or something. Anyway, solid dairy restaurant.
