Rustiko

Food, service, and ambiance were all great. We arrived about 10 minutes late for our reservation but were seated right away. Waiter was super friendly and attentive. Ordered the red sangria for a drink, which was delicious and not too sweet. Goat cheese bites and spinach and artichoke dip for apps. The goat cheese bites were amazing as well as the marinara and pesto sauce it was served with. Spinach artichoke dip was also superb but the chips were not my favorite (not homemade so whatever brand they use just not for me). Was so full from the apps that I opted for the quinoa salad with spinach l? Goat cheese, and beets for my main and it was fantastic with a delicious dressing. My dinner mate got the sea bass piccata for his main and said it was delicious. Would definitely come here again.

Awesome experience here. Great food, great service and good ambiance. Some highlights were the fried bread appetizer, the first pizza on the menu (pesto and tomato) and the fried cauliflower. Personally I thought the fig and cheese pizza was too sweet.Fish was good (branzino with purple potatoes) and the papardelle was also great. Creme brulee was a little too burnt and bitter tasting.

Do not go here with children! They welcomed us in, said there was no Kids Menu but they could easily make mac n cheese or plain buttered noodles. We said sure and asked for noodles for both kids. Noodles. Butter. Nothing else. We received the bill and they charged us $21 per child for Noodles and Butter. Shame on us for not asking but shame on them for letting us believe it was kid friendly. We objected to the $42 charge and they eventually brought it down to $15 each. It was Literally a bowl of noodles and NOTHING ELSE! We would never go again and certainly would not recommend it to friends. We just could not believe the experience. Such a shame.

The only issue I had with this place is I didn't come hungry enough. I just moved to Miami from Los Angeles and there is no comparison for a kosher dairy restaurant. This truly takes the cake. We ordered the spaghetti squash and it was super unique. Tomato sauce, cheese and pesto in a squash w stringy squash noodles. The artichoke dip was amazing and very cheesy. Truffle pizza w mushrooms was so savory and perfect ratio of cheese to sauce without drowning the pizza in truffle. Our table also ordered the cauliflower appetizers. It's a fried Cauliflower with sweet Asian chili sauce. It was so hard to just have one. Great for lunch and business lunches. Will definitely be back!

Eggplant Goat cheese Branzino3 great dishes, I haven't tasted them all yet however I'm looking forward to tasting them

Food is good but they are busy and the service has s very slow. They alway underestimate wait times. The ambiance is good

We were a party of 3. 40 minutes go by. One person's entree comes out. Another 15 minutes, the second person's entree comes out. 15 minutes after that -- the third person finally gets their entree, the first person is long finished with their meal by now. Pastas were mediocre, small portions, and wildly overpriced. Wait staff was short and inattentive. If you're looking for kosher food in this area, you can do so much better than Rustiko.

They did not write down our reservations however gave us a table.They serve wine and have a corking fee of 25.00 of course.Problem we brought vodka (with no cork, lol) and they "tried to charge the fee for that. I explain thats not correct and was a hassle to get them to remove it. They also had a 5.00 Surfside surchage. We always have dinner at the many Resturant's in Surfside and was never charged that fee.It is at least a very petty and may not be legal.Check your bill here and check at every restaurant many play games.

Upon entering the restaurant we were transported to a rustic and woodsy atmosphere. A glass of Merlot was poured for my friend while I went with Chenin Blanc to pair with our cheese filled meal. We started our journey with the beat gnocchi. Their light fluffy texture in a white creamy cheese sauce was delicate and delicious. Continuing onward, we tried the smoked caprese pizza. Fresh tomatoes were cut on the pizza in addition to a sweet tangy sauce coupled with a hint of rosemary atop fresh Mozzarella, the flavor just bursts in your mouth. Some of the best pizza I've had to date. Finally, we ended our journey with the pappardelle truffle. Which was decadent, creamy and delicious. Although there was a good amount of Parmesan cheese it did not over power the flavor of the truffle and mushroom. The service was friendly and the place was busy (even though it was a Monday night).Overall this is an amazing restaurant and I highly recommend visiting. I cannot wait to go back!
