Rustico is an American celebration of the authentic, seasonal pleasures of the table inspired by the “cucina rustica” of Southern Italy, where traditions of cooking emphasize the freshest seasonal ingredients prepared in simple, yet soulful ways. The wood smoke and extreme heat of our wood-fired grill and oven allow us to create flavors and textures unmatched by other means. By using only the finest and freshest available ingredients, including locally produced and organic products wherever possible, our menus reflect a commitment and respect for the ideals and heritage of honest, rustic cooking.
