Cafe Rustica

Food was good. I had the shrimp with broccoli and sun dried tomatoes. It was good but nothing special. My friend has the Farfalle Theresa and was disappointed (shrimp were small and said the cheesy sauce wasn't the best) my other friend had the Pollo Rustica, that was pretty great! Dinners come with a salad which is nice and the creamy peppercorn dressing was excellent. I thought pricey for what it was. $50 a person with tip, for 3 pasta dishes, 2 chicken dish, 1 appetizer and 2 glasses of wine.

Café Rustica was the setting for the celebration of my mother‘s 90th birthday this past weekend. Couldn’t ask for a better experience! The reservation process was easy, the food was delicious, and all of the staff were excellent! Highly recommend this place for a dinner for two or a rowdy crowd of 25 people. Excellent service either way.

Today I stopped in there for an order for pickup... I sat there at the bar for 15 minutes while my order was being prepared... The wife of the owner was at the podium... There was a blonde haired waitress who was standing there greeting people as they walked in for their pickup orders... And that's when I noticed... She was standing there picking her nose and sniffling using the back of her hand. Never once did she go to the ladies room to wash her hands.. as customers walked in she went in the back and brought out order after order after order... I brought this to the attention of the owner and she shrugged it off.. I picked up my $98 order brought it home and threw it in the garbage... My own fault because I should have rejected my order and walked out then and there.. However I did not want to cause a scene as there were customers seated at tables and also customers waiting for pickup orders. I'm so disappointed because this place came highly recommended. In closing, I will never go back again.. totally discusting!!!
