If you go- ya gotta get Uncle Mike as your waiter. He is so friendly, kind and patient - and overall- just a great human being. We feel lucky to have met him. He made us feel at home. Now the food, delicious, wine, delicious, fish tacos- delicious.... Particularly loved the pesto pasta with chicken and the truffle pasta! The ambiance is great- and a flame thrower came by and did a street performance. They even surprised me with a birthday candle in flan for my 36th birthday. MUY DELICOSA
Basically drunk/hangover food; very heavy, cheesy, and greasy food. We ordered: Mussels "with a touch of cream": 2/5 - it was a cream bath. The bread was stale. San Francisco pizza: 3.5/5 - great if you're drunk. Our hands very dripping in grease/oil. We still ate most of the food because we didn't want to waste it but my stomach did not handle the food well. I had to call it a night immediately after and tossed the leftovers.
Amazing food, amazing service! You must eat at La Rustica when in Sayulita. Everything fresh and cooked to perfection. The staff is very attentive and work together to make your experience enjoyable. There is no better hospitality than Mexican hospitality!
One of the best meals we had in Sayulita. The service is prompt and attentive. And the food is oh so good. Who knew you could find Italian food this good in Sayulita?
Came here over the weekend for a wedding and went to dinner here one night. We got a table on the patio and ordered their truffle pasta and pepperoni and ham pizza. Both items were delicious. If I had to choose, I would pick the pasta over the pizza. Cocktails were on the more expensive side for Mexico standards but were really tasty as well. Service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant, if visiting Sayulita. PS - I got pooped while sitting outside on the patio so just be aware that it's not necessarily the best seating at the restaurant.
One of our favorite restaurants EVER. We had such a fantastic time in Punta Mita and La Rustica was a really big part of that! The service is exceptional -- everyone is so friendly and welcoming (shoutout to Karla!!) Incredible cocktails, delicious food, great vibe, beautiful interior design and right on the ocean. I honestly can't wait to come back. Highly, highly recommend this place!
La Rustica is a restaurant specializing in modern italian and craft cocktails. It has a hip vibe and opens up to the street entirely. It has an accessible but upscale fibe. It's got the modern warehouse loft style and is way more put together than most of what you see in town Service was great and plenty of folks checked in. The pizza was great. Wood fired. The artichoke was awesome too. Huge two halves layered with Aioli. As a side note, i saw a few groups got food poisoning about a month ago. This is really unfortunate. As a reminder, you are in mexico and it's easy to get some different bacteria which we are unaccustomed to. I see nothing of concern with the cleanliness of this place. As much of a drag as it is, you need to protect yourself wherever you go. IE stay away from fresh fruits and vegetables unless you clean them. Thats why we got the artichoke instead of a salad. The
Pro's: Great location, excellent food. Con's: Nothing Go back?: Yes! More... Yes, I was Sayulita and ordered a chicken sandwich! Lol. At this point in my visit, I had devoured the most wonderful tacos, rellenos, mole and more. This day, I just wanted a simple chicken sandwich. I loved this sandwich because it was a medium thickness slice of chicken breast, not overwhelmingly large and not skimpy - just perfect. It was grilled and I am certain, marinated. The flavor with the perfectly sliced avocados, mandolin slices of red onion, aioli and crispy bread was perfection. The bread was SO GOOD, my friend bought a loaf (she lives there).
This little spot is cute, with a lot of solid Italian food options (which seems a little odd in Mexico, but if you want to switch things up it's a good choice!) we started with the artichokes, which were honestly horrible. It was like they were dried out and no one at our table enjoyed it. For our meal, I split the rustica pasta and the mushroom pizza. Both of which were awesome! The mushroom pizza was perfectly cheesy, with a little truffle oil. My husband got the fish of the day which he enjoyed, and then our friend got the poke bowl, which he said was good. They have a huge wine, cocktail and beer selection, and I enjoyed the house red. Lastly, we ordered the fried shrimp, but somehow ended up getting French fries, which were good, but disappointing to never get the shrimp. Besides that hiccup though, the service was great!

This is a popular place and reservations are highly recommended. It's more American style food. Tables are tight & very close together. The windows are open to the street side which allows the street hustlers come up to you & try to sell their goods. It kind of disrupts your dining experience. I guess this place is known for their pizza since that's what a lot of people were eating. I ordered the paella which had undercooked rice. I couldn't even eat it all. The steak and frites were probably the best on the table. The panic mussels were also very yummy. It was a great place and close to downtown with a lot of activity happening. One of the nicer places to have dinner at. I'd visit again, but maybe order a pizza instead. read more
We never ate here but spent $$ on drinking here at their cocktail bar. We sat at the bar, no reservations or wait needed. All their cocktails are delicious! I think I tried all their mezcal and most of their margaritas cocktails. Their carajillo is also delicious. Cash only or spend a certain amount to use credit card, I think it was 800 pesos. read more
The Pizzas are on point with a crispy thin crust Italian Style. Pizze are enough to share among two or for people with a big appetite maybe in addition to an appetizer. I highly recommend the Pizza Del Mar. The seafood is super fresh and in combination with the pesto and cheese overall delicious. read more

The ambiance here is lovely and my party enjoyed their food and drinks but unfortunately my octopus took so long to come out so I spent a long time waiting while everybody else ate around me. I feel like a beggar asking for scraps of their food while I waited :( Once it finally came out, the octopus was undercooked and slimy. I did enjoy my friend's truffle pasta and wish I ordered that, and I also enjoyed the creme brûlée and flan. I would give them another try when I'm in town but would not order the octopus, which was disappointing. read more

Exceeded my expectations! Not gunna lie, I was very skeptical cause italian food in mexico? Hmmmm....but it was all tasty and very affordable. For pizza, pasta, and salad, it was only $28 USD. But its like craft quality, not your neighborhood Pizza Hut. We saw the Al Pastor pizza and had to try it. Its almost like a hawaiian pizza. The caesar salad was big and the carbonara pasta was also good. I wish it had raw egg on top though. Our server was excellent, he was on top of everything and was all about the small details. We also got seated right away for saturday dinner but maybe we were lucky. The seating is a bit tight and its very loud in there though. Overall, had a great time. read more

Great Italian food in the heart of Sayulita if you're craving pasta, pizza and coffee martinis. During our week long trip we had dinner here twice and it did not disappoint. The breads were amazing, pizza super fresh and the ravioli melted in your mouth with flavorful cheeses and chicken. The restaurant is great for large groups, about 20 of use and the service very good for drinks and food which came out quite quickly. Definitely be coming back here for our next trip! read more

Good wood-fired pizza here. The Al Pastor Pizza is an interesting concept, and actually works very well. The flavor profile reminds me of a 'Hawaiian' but with the more pronounced slow grilled flavor of pastor meat. In that sense it's a slam dunk, basically a next level 'Hawaiian'. The Caesar salad and carbonara here are also good, although no noteworthy variations from the norm. Overall it was an enjoyable meal and service was excellent! read more
"Best Italian food in Sayulita" they said and they were right!!! Hands down. The decor and overall feel of the restaurant is welcoming. The open air seating at the front of the restaurant allows you to still people watch and watch any of the street performers. Pizza looked good but we went the pasta route. Started out with some crispy calamari to start and then onto the gnocchi with shrimp and pesto with chicken. Both sauces were amazing. Rich and flavorful. The gnocchi so so pillowy. Shrimp was juicy and chicken was tender. Drinks were pretty, strong, and tasty. Everything was delicious! read more

The ambiance is Amazing and so is the service. The pizza was 10/10, we almost went back the day after to have this pizza again. The oysters Rockefeller were ok, I would definitely order the regular oysters next time. read more

Very good food, and Oscar our waiter was phenomenal both times! I also enjoyed my hang with the local street dogs that roam in for a drink from the doggie water bowl, and to crash out on the tile floor to escape the heat! Excellent read more
