Rustica never ceases to amaze us! Our food was wonderful, service was prompt and attentive, the atmosphere is trendy yet comfy. At first we questioned our server's recommendation for wine, but found it to be. We had chicken saltimbocca and pan roasted haddock, both were excellent. Cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned.

I love this restaurant! It's my favorite place to eat when I'm in Rockland. The food is good and the service is friendly and timely. The atmosphere is welcoming and I highly recommend everyone try this place.

Service is mediocre, meal was overcooked and oversalted. Over the years, Rustica used to be a favorite place to have a quick meal before heading to The Strand Cinema, but $18 for a roasted vegetable entree dish? You gotta be kidding. After you add $8-9 for a glass of wine, it all starts to add up. Will not be returning...

Maybe it was just a bad night because the owner was not there. We were supposed to have the chefs choice of small plates and we had made reservations 2 weeks in advance. The kitchen staff acted like they couldn't make a decision on what to serve us because the boss was not there. So they told us to just...

We were looking for a place to have a nice Italian dinner and deceided to try Rustica in Rockland. I was not dissapointed because I was not expecting much.

We dined here after a movie at the nearby Strand on a snowy night. What a welcoming place. It a bustling and honestly, everyone looked like they were having a great time. Oh the food. Try the cavatelli - warms the soul.

If you're looking for a good Italian restaurant in the area, don't pass on Rustica in downtown Rockland. Good drinks, good food. Large portions so take home what you can't eat. Really friendly servers. Just a really good place to eat.

My wife and I have been to Rustica's several times and always had great service and genuine Italian food at very reasonable prices. Our last time there we took 10 of our friends for dinner after an event at the Farnsworth Museum. Everyone had a wonderful time and raved about the restaurant. Everyone had been to Italy at least once...
