RustiCucina

Service great. Food was not what I expected. I am a ravioli person for sure. For a higher end restaurant, I guess I expected to taste the lobster in lobster ravioli. The sauce needed more flavor too. My friend ordered gluten free pasta, and it was very very al dente. Atmosphere was nice, but it's definitely busy on weekends and pretty loud. Don't expect to have a quiet romantic date and be able to hear everything. I may come back to try the cocktails and bar area, since it is in the neighborhood. But, not for the food unfortunately.

We made a last minute large party reservation for a group of us in San Diego for a conference. The host Alvin was absolutely delightful and made sure to check on us while we were eating, and our waitress Ashley made excellent recommendations. The pasta was AMAZING! We had a number of dietary restrictions in the group including gluten free and everyone was happy. We sat outside which was less loud than inside and we were very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant and come back!
