La Rustica

You have to try this place! The atmosphere was intimate but energetic, and the staff was phenomenal. It was a little on the pricier side, but the gluten free pasta options were great and if you saved room for dessert, we HIGHLY recommend getting the affogato! Will be coming back.🙂

We visited La Rustica on Saturday night, drawn in by the inviting atmosphere and the friendly greeting from the hostess. However, our initial excitement quickly turned to disappointment. First, we waited for a table 20 minutes after our confirmed reservation. After we sat it took at least another 20 to get drinks. After placing our order, we were informed—20 minutes later—that the restaurant had run out of gluten-free pasta. This was quite surprising given it was only 8 PM on a weekend. Clearly someone doesn’t know how to plan ahead. The chaotic night suggested a lack of organization; it felt like the entire place was on fire, with no one clearly in charge. Ultimately, we settled for a salad and left feeling extremely let down. We hope that they can get its act together because the potential for a great dining experience is there. Please be better.

Wow what a meal. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all top notch. We'll be back, and hope they'll have some gluten free bread next time.
