    Just have to update that I have frequently come back to this place over and over since moving to the area and it is just so good every single time. The flavor is always there, the service is always excellent, & it's just always a special meal. Came back this weekend to celebrate my own birthday and it was intimate, delicious, & everything I knew it would be. Always a good ambiance as well because they make you feel well taken care of. Certainly will be back soon.

    Service second to none, courtesy of Victor our server. One of the best complimentary Italian bread - and the olive oil dip with parmesan cheese and olives is worth a visit by itself. The pear pizza was not sweet, drizzled in a light balsamic vinaigrette it just brings out the flavor of the fruit with the cheese complimenting the whole ensemble. I know it's an overuse word but the fresh dates with fresh grilled bacon of the bacon and dates are amazing! I really wanted to give this place five stars but the rest of the menu was just fine - namely the linguine frutti de mare and the arriabata pasta. Both had generous portions of seafood and sausage respectively. Unfortunately, the calamari in all the dishes were overcooked.

    The food was so delicious and staff was so attentive and friendly. Love the chill vibe!

    Mother's Day brunch was delightful. There were many choices of chicken, fish and steak varieties. The salads, fruit and cheese platters offered a variety of healthy sides. The wait staff was very quick with removing used plates and refilling the complimentary iced tea. The restaurant itself is a beautiful rustic building with exposed bricks and ceiling pipes. Great Mother's Day brunch!

    Late review... September 2023 Went with my sorority sisters. The food was awesome! It was a beautiful evening, so sat outside on the patio area. We had a 6PM reservation and we stayed until closing.

    We had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding at cucina paradiso in the private room. The room was perfect for a private event- we were able to ask them to turn off music for speeches and have our own space. We loved the food-everyone complimented the salmon and tiramisu and chocolate lava cake desserts! The drinks were delightful, and the service was wonderful. We will be coming back to celebrate our future anniversaries there for sure!

    Rustico was a really wonderful dining experience. From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere felt…read morerelaxed and welcoming, and the service made the evening especially enjoyable! The bread service was fantastic. The tomato focaccia and the baguette were both excellent and I had to remind myself not to fill up on it before the main meal! LOL! We started with the calamari which was very well seasoned and clearly not the typical frozen version you often see from foodservice distributors. It tasted fresh, was crispy, and well prepared. For dinner I ordered the margherita pizza which was simple and delicious. I ended up ordering a second one to-go for my partner who couldn't make it to dinner. He also loved it - even after it sat for ~30 min or so while we chatted more, then drove home to the Maywood area. I would imagine their delivery is pretty good based on that! My mom had the rigatoni vodka with added crumbled Italian sausage which she loved, and my dad ordered the Marcelino. He loved the generous amount of seafood and how well seasoned it was. My parents are big wine drinkers and my dad was especially impressed with the wine list and the selection available. Oscar was an incredible server!! He struck the perfect balance of being attentive while still letting us enjoy a relaxed, unhurried evening. The support staff and food runners were also fantastic and very friendly, making the entire service experience feel polished! I also loved the kitchen was more open which gives you confidence in the quality and care that goes into the food. The dining space is inviting with a nice bar area and an additional room that looks perfect for busy nights or private gatherings. Overall a great restaurant that we would absolutely return to!!

We tried the bruschetta, shrimp appetizer, chicken Marsala, chicken piccata, clam pasta, and seafood paella. Only person who walked away truly satisfied was the person who ordered the paella. Oh, and we ordered a pasta for the table but it was too undercooked and not saucy like kinda dry for a pasta dish.

From the soup to the main plates, no seasoning needed. I'll come back to that. On a very busy day, they made provisions for us and adjusted our time by 30 mins. Very welcoming! To handling my 93 year old mom and everyone else in our party. That said we had the sweet corn truffle oil soup. Phenomenal! My gurl ordered braised rib rustic risotto. I had the lamb Shank and potatoes. All wonderfully prepared and while we were eating my family was stating how they were definitely coming back to this spotq

Pasta was too overcooked that the sauce got creamy and tasted like pasta water instead of garlic and clams. Had a good amount of clams though, but the pasta made the entire dish a disappointment. Refund please. Rigatoni Rustica - Good flavor, good amount of beef short rib but pasta was slightly undercooked. Risotto Terre E Mare - Flavor was good, mixing shrimp and chicken is a big no for me. Tagliatelle Con Aragosta - best pasta dish so far! Flavor was perfect, creamy, perfectly cooked tagliatelle. Everything was good! It was a busy night, loud and hard to hear, barely hear music, but got to meet the owners who were very friendly and offered us tiramisu with our take out order. May be best to eat at the restaurant. Do not recommend for takeout.
