Trattoria Rustica

We wanted to do a small Valentine's dinner, and we wanted it to be pasta/Italian. I had a doctor's appointment late that day, so I just wanted to go to place close to home that I could have some good food.Walking in, the space is a bit tight, but I knew that would be the case because this restaurant sits in the remains of the pizza shop that I had my first Las Vegas meal at (well, the first one after moving into my very first apartment about 2 decades ago). Who knew that the slice I had while waiting for something at Washinton Mutual (two doors down, that became a Chase and is now shuttered) would become one of my new favorite restaurants? Well, it's tight, but it's well situated and nicely decorated. The vibe is super cozy and comfortable. I loved how comfortable the chairs are. The tables are also nice and big, making it easy for sharing plates. It was busy, so we had to wait a bit to be seated for our reservation, but I didn't mind. The service here is incredible. The servers all care and we had a lovely time. I really enjoyed the conversations I had with everyone that spoke with us. Now, to the most important part, the food. Hot d@mn! This place has good food, with great portions. We had the caprese, which was fresh and lovely. The calamari were crispy and perfectly seasoned. Both of our pastas were incredible and heated well for leftovers. And the desserts? Get out of here, the chocolate mousse cake was to die for.We were told that because they're so small, reservations should be made on weekends, but weekdays should be easy to walk in. Absolutely coming back!!!

A very good, small family owned restaurant.(Love that they actually speak Italian while preparing the food) near the Hobby Lobby.The Cioppino was how I remembered it from when I was younger... pasta is not needed (but can be added) for this amazing seafood stew.The portions are big & taste freshly made. Wine and beer both are served.

Our first time here was on Christmas Eve, after church. The interior was small, but cozy. All the staffs were very friendly. My husband loved their complimentary pizza bread for the flavor & freshness. We had the trio seafood appetizer, which was delicious with shrimp, calamari & zucchini. My son had the kids spaghetti with meatballs. Unfortunately, the meatballs were still red in the center. We sent it back for food safety reasons. While the noodles were al dente, but the meatballs wasn't tasty - lacked herbs (onion or garlic). I had the chicken pistachio with asparagus - tasty, but my chicken was a bit dry. My hubby had the pasta rigatoni with Ragu & red sauce - he liked his entree. To be honest, this review is 3.5 stars, rounded up to four stars. The service was extremely SLOW!! It literally took half an hour for our entrees to come out; and the restaurant was only filled at 50 percent capacity. I was a little annoyed; especially when the table that came in after us got their food first. There was only one server that night - understaffed.

Absolutely deliciously, delectable food that feels like you're eating in an Italian grandma's home but in a wonderful upscale way. A family runs the place. One of the owners greeted us and was so warm and welcoming when we came in. We had the regular knots they serve, garlic knots and truffle fries for appetizers. They were all delicious. For entrees, we had rigatoni and meatballs, fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti carbonara with guanciale. Everything was excellent but the spaghetti carbonara stole the show. It was indescribably good. Ambiance, service and food were all amazing. The food is made fresh with authentic ingredients. It takes time. Order a glass of wine and an appetizer. I definitely recommend Trattoria Rustica and will definitely be back. This should a weekly dining experience.

The food is excellent, the service (Amanda) was so friendly and the atmosphere is warm and homely. My favorite was the broccoli rabe under a huge piece of perfectly cooked salmon. My daughter's eggplant parmesan was very tasty. My wife's chicken marsala was on the blend side, she says. My son inlaw pappardelle was plentiful. Lemon cake was a hit, light, not sweet and delicious.

Ordered the baked gnocchi. Unfortunately mine was tough and the sauce was rather plain. The mozzarella and basil saved it. I am so sorry for my experience, it was listed as a popular item. If someone could recommend something else on the menu I'll try this place again. The price was quite steep. Thanks!

Dropped in for a takeout order on May 29th around 7pmReview #17 of 2024Returning to this trattoria for a second time was a pleasure. It was heartening to see the place bustling with customers, a testament to the deliciousness and quality of their pizza. 18" pizza for takeaway, we were pleasantly surprised when our order was ready in less than 15 minutes. We requested chili pepper flakes and Parmesan as accompaniments and were delighted to find the pizza still piping hot when we arrived home. Whether you're looking to dine in or grab a takeaway, I would highly recommend this place if you find yourself in the area.

Absolutely delicious food at this small but fantastic restaurant. I had eggplant parm which was perfect The sauce has a touch of sweetness and is so good. My sister has cannelloni with ricotta and spinach and was likely the best cannelloni I've ever had. We shared a caprese salad which was yummy, despite the fact that we ordered a green salad. But it was delish!Our meals were super and this is one place that is a MUST when I v

BRAVO! Well done. Excellent. Delicious!!Worth the wait (25 mins) - the place was packed with people waiting.My husband always says if a place can do a cheese pizza right then everything else will be great. AND you KNOW it be done correctly when the staff is speaking ITALIAN...You can watch them hand toss your pizza while you wait. And the SAUCE... forget about it! But why stop there? The crust -Mamma Mia! The cheese - couldn't get enough.Homemade pasta for the fettuccine with bolognese- again the SAUCE with tons of meat. Cappuccino's to die for. *sigh* Happiness...Great ambience and excellent friendly staff.We found our PIZZA & PASTA place! We were too FULL for dessert. And took leftovers home.Big portions to share. Don't fill up on the garlic knots - it will take more willpower than expected.Mangia!

I just moved to town and wanted a local yummy Italian food ... (I'm tricky because I'm Vegan ) walked by this place after I was shopping and I got a glass of Cabernet it was delicious and only $11. Then ordered a beet salad (without the cheese) unbelievably good it came with complementary dough knots (I got them plain) honestly I was pretty full, but I saw other people in there drinking coffee and eating dessert so I asked if she had anything vegan and they had a creamy coconut sorbet that blew my mind and I got an Americano. It was A+ all the way. Very friendly staff great experience can't wait to go back.
