My wife and I chose Rustico Ristorante & Pizzeria for our first anniversary dinner, and it was the perfect decision. From the moment we walked in, we felt special. The hostess, Shannon, was incredibly lovely and welcoming, setting the tone for a wonderful evening.
The food was absolutely incredible—you can really taste that everything is made from scratch with clean, local ingredients. We were offered some incredible bread made fresh with scallion oil that was incredible and a perfect start to a perfect meal. We ordered the New Yorker Pizza, which was loaded with delicious toppings (the meats were fantastic!), and the Lobster Mac and Cheese. The pasta was rich, creamy, and decadent—truly to die for.
To top it all off, the service was impeccable. Shannon was very helpful with wine recommendations that paired perfectly with our meal. We were also treated to a beautiful cannoli dessert with a “Happy Anniversary” chocolate, which was such a thoughtful and sweet touch.
If you are in the Temecula/Murrieta area and looking for authentic Italian food with top-tier hospitality, I highly recommend Rustico. We will definitely be back!

Cozy, delightful Italian place we have been wanting to try. I didn’t get photos of our gnocchi or fettuccine Alfredo entrees but they were equally delicious to the mozzarella and bruschetta apps we had. Jacob was great, attentive and great to chat with as our waiter. Can’t wait to go back!!

Dear Rusticos you have redeemed yourself finally after 7 years. I decided to try you guys again and it was delicious. What happened 7 years ago you may ask? Well we ordered a vegetarian pizza with no tomatoes and yall gave us one with no red sauce! No pizza sauce, it was dry as a bone and I vowed to never try anything from here again. But alas my grandmother loves you guys and so I gave it a go again we decided to order take out because of how busy yall were. The food was so delicious and hot and tasty. I will be back definitely again and I truly thank yall for a delightful meal.

This is a fantastic local neighborhood restaurant. Had my birthday dinner here this evening, the waiter David was extra nice. Pasta Primavera was cooked perfectly, bruschetta was fantastic and their house bread is out of this world. They even brought out a cannoli and sang me happy birthday at the end of the meal. 10 out of 10, fully recommend.

I had been passing this place daily for more than a year before I finally decided to try it. Man, I’ve been missing out!! The food was fantastic. It was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Don’t pass on the BREAD! The bread came to my table fresh out the oven with a tasty olive oil and vinegar mix for dipping. I ordered the brussel sprouts as an appetizer. The portion was much bigger than I expected, and it was delicious. I’ll likely return and just get the brussel sprouts as my main entree. I ordered the Linguine Frutti di Mare with red sauce. The came with a lot of mussels! Great dish! Everything was very filling. The atmosphere was calm, peaceful, and welcoming. My waitress was very friendly and attentive. All in all, visiting this restaurant was a GREAT experience. I highly recommend it!

My lunch experience was outstanding! The beautifully presented dish was cooked to perfection, with juicy meat and exceptionally fresh vegetables that were cooked just right. The house iced tea was a refreshing pick-me-up on a hot day, and I appreciated the exceptional service, particularly our server’s attention to detail in ensuring my meal was gluten-free. It was a truly exceptional experience that left me feeling grateful and energized.

Disappointing…My Daughter wanted to take me to Dinner for my Birthday. We had planed to go to Temecula but the waitlist was 2 hours, so we decided to try Rustico. She called to check on wait times & was told 30 minutes. When she called back to reserve a table 5 minutes later she was told they were no longer taking reservations and the wait time was now 45 minutes, but we could walk in. When we arrived, we were not greeted, there were a lot of open tables and the Busboy was the one who seated us.
We ordered Salad, an appetizer & a glass of wine, the wine never arrived, we were told that was because of phone orders.
We ordered Pizza, the crust was burnt & very difficult to slice. My Daughter wanted to order dessert, I opted for an espresso martini. It was served in a tulip glass and tasted like Baileys, shaken & poured. I didn’t finish it.
My Daughter shelled out $140 for Dinner including tip. I didn’t want to complain & embarrass her. Sadly not someplace I would recommend or return to.

This wasn’t my choice for dinner when meeting friends for a holiday dinner together. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my meal, and my wife and I both made our dinner selections from the specials menu. We normally only dine out on special occasions or when traveling out of town. Having dinner at a pizzeria is very rare for us, the atmosphere- loud conversations, and clanking of dishes is not how we prefer to spend an evening out. But our meals were satisfactory for the price and our dessert was memorable.
