Welcome to RustiCucina, where locally sourced ingredients, seasonal dishes and a warm ambiance reign supreme. We are named to reflect the merging of two cultures; American and Sicilian, since our owners are straight out of a small town in Sicily. We invite neighborhood dwellers and visitors to experience our farm-to-neighborhood restaurant unlike any other. We offer a traditional Italian-style happy hour, with aperitivo leading the way, along with a full bar and an impressive wine list. Our menu, designed by acclaimed Executive Chef, Marco Provino, boasts carefully crafted rustic cuisine, with pasta and desserts made in-house, along with decadent entrées and a slate of pizzas and flat breads.
Relaxed Italian restaurant fixing up pasta & meat dishes, plus happy-hour specials & weekend brunch.

Reviews
My pasta was served undercooked. To their credit, they did replace the dish when we brought it to their attention, and the second one was much better. However, having to send a dish back right away definitely disrupted the experience.
The carbonara we ordered was also extremely salty — to the point where it was almost inedible. It was disappointing because the flavor profile could have been great if it had been properly balanced.
On top of that, when we received the check, we noticed we had been overcharged, which required another correction before we could leave. By that point, the overall experience just felt frustrating.
I understand that mistakes can happen, but multiple issues in one meal made it hard to fully enjoy the evening. I hope the restaurant can improve consistency in both food quality and billing accuracy.
Definitely try the cheese wheel if you can — I’m not a big cheese person, but this isn’t Kraft cheese . Definitely glad I ordered this.
Portions are huge, so come hungry or plan to take some home. The capsule fits the atmosphere and ties it all together. Service was top notch — everyone was super friendly from when we first opened the door.
Absolutely would come back!
Ocean was our server, and she made our dinning experience very special!
