My husband & I had a wonderful dinner at Rustico. We arrived 35 minutes before the restaurant opened, but the owner warmly greeted us and seated us without issue. The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful & beautifully presented. We shared an appetizer of lobster stuffed calamari & both had the red snapper special. My husband also had a side of homemade spaghetti. Everything was so delicious! We don’t usually order dessert but when they brought the dessert tray over it looked so good we couldn’t resist. My husband enjoyed the chocolate mousse & I loved the tiramisu. Not an inexpensive meal, but the quality & service were 5 star. We look forward to returning.

Rustico is “America meets Italy”. From the moment you walk thru the door you are greeted by the owner Nino who pleasantly embraces your presence with a warm & inviting attitude.
The place is “lovely & charming”. ….Beyond the atmosphere…… The food was outstanding & simply delicious, everything we ordered was cooked to perfection & it was truly a wonderful culinary experience.
The wine that was recommended was amazing and complimented our choices .
We look so forward to going back !
Highly recommend reservations to this incredible restaurant , This is a hidden gem .
By the way,
I would have given it 10 stars if I could & I do not give stars unless it really is incredible, & indeed it was !!
so happy we found you !!!!
Bravo Rustico Bravo Nino !!!!

A small Italian restaurant in Lake Worth. It’s pretty quaint so I don’t know how large of parties they can accommodate for. Better for a more intimate dinner. Came here with the family and enjoyed everything we ordered, although we did have a strange experience. The waiter accidentally brought an incorrect entree out for my brother in law. Instead of immediately replacing it with what he originally ordered, our waiter insisted for him to keep the mistake saying he’ll enjoy it more. Us being polite obliged awkwardly. I then thought his original order would come out shortly thereafter, but no, they never fixed their mistake, and also charged us for it. This didn’t sit right with us, so we haven’t returned. This place was also extremely overpriced.

Upscale tradition Italian food in a warm cozy atmosphere. Unfortunately they were short a server so it took a little away from the experience but it was still overall five star. Delicious veal entrees. It wasn’t just another Italian restaurant with big portions but has that “ old world “ charm.

Owner, Nino Annunziata, couldn’t be more hospitable. I could have been sitting in Capri…my meal of baked clams filled with tender crab meat. veal chop parmigiana, followed by tiramisu…was divine. Perfection! And let’s not forget the wine list. Bravo! Fantastico! Hubby and I fly in each year to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you! Lake Worth, you are so fortunate to have this romantic, jewel.

As we strolled along Lucerne avenue in Lake Worth Beach, we came upon this gem of Italian cuisine. This was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had. The dishes were incredibly fresh with highly unique flavors and the personalized service from the chef was a welcome surprise.

We had 9 people with our party and Nino, the owner went out of his way to accommodate us. The food and service was outstanding. Made us feel welcomed from the minute we walked into the restaurant. Rustico Italiano is a hidden gem. You won’t be disappointed.

Delicious Italian dining in Lake Worth! I highly recommend going for date night or with the family. The wine was delicious and pasta meats and seafood was fresh and decadent. I highly recommend the ravioli tartufo nero and black seafood risotto!
