Pizza Rustica

A girlfriend of mine has been bugging me to come here and we finally did. I can't believe we didn't come here sooner! This is the most fresh tasting pizza you will ever eat. We ordered the Margherita pizza and everything surpassed my expectations. We didn't even have any leftovers to bring home.

They also make their bar drinks fresh, and usually they have a unique twist to them. I tried the basil & grape drink with vodka - it was very, very good! I loved how fresh everything was here and I cannot wait to go back.

Personal note: I'm very much a texture eater. This pizza is thin, but packs on just the right amount of sauce and cheese (the more sauce/cheese, the better for me!) The crust is thin and a little floppy, but so delicious. Everything gets 5 stars! Service, recommendations, ambience, food, etc. etc etc.!

Yum.  I love everything about this cozy neighborhood spot. I was in for dinner with the husband recently and we split a salad, app & 1/2 pizza. The wine list is good, cocktail selection is excellent, and the food is tasty.  Also, our server was great, recommending various things and not minding that we were sharing, which makes me want to go back.

We had the rustic salad & veggie (I think it's called verdure) pizza. I recommend both.

We were in search of a wood fired pizza and found Rustica. There are several good attributes around the environment, staff and the food.

It was a late Saturday afternoon, and people were beginning to come in the restaurant.  We got a table in the corner by the kitchen which was a perfect shield from the super low winter temps.  In more temperate weather I would grab a seat at the bar.

hostess was very friendly and the waitress was fun and welcoming-  and described the specials very well.  I was a big fan of the polenta and meat ragout.  Although I opted for a Belgian quad (nice beer selection) the Italian margaritas - that I saw almost every table order- looked enticing.  

Beware of the size of the pizzas- the half order indicates 4 slices so we intended to order two- but thankfully she advised against it.  One half order came to the table on two 9x7 boards... Great for later!

Rustica is a quality spot.  We have a great selection of quality wood fired pizza spots in the city; and while this isn't my first choice, I would return.
