Came with my boyfriend and kids around 5pm Friday night (tonight). Oh my gosh our server was the best server I/we have ever experienced. Even the kids were in awe of him and his service! I wish I could remember his name ugh. Maybe started with an R? Anyway, he was just next level and food was great. I never finish dinner, even when it's good... but the clams linguine with the white wine sauce was so good even my boyfriend was like whoa you finished that quick. Hahaha Just wanted to say what a nice experience it was tonight and while all the staff were great, he was just outstanding!!!! Thank you!

I have nothing to say about this placed except.... AMAZING EVERYTHING! my family and I eat here often whether it be in the restaurant or takeout... The pizza the salad the bread the pasta the cocktails everything is on point!! the owners are frequently there and serving right along side of their staff. The staff is always friendly, very personable and eager to please! Their wine list is also pretty exceptional... I work at a local winery and appreciate restaurants that serve Temecula wines! If you're hungry eat here !!

Great, authentic food. The staff was very hospitable. Enjoyed the buttered bread. Try the chicken parm!

always such great service and food! this place is right next to my house so it's pretty convenient to come here whenever we aren't in the mood to cook. the prices are definitely increasing but that will slowly be everywhere. we got the fettuccine alfredo and calamari, both were so delicious as always! the restaurant itself has that small mom and pop feel but rústicos has definitely grown throughout the years! this place is always a great option and i highly recommend it

The food was incredible! Service was great and very fast for an authentic Italian eatery. The atmosphere in Rustico is quiet but very welcoming.

Had heard great things about this place and decided to try it out. The food was fantastic but the service was lacking in a big way. Had to ask another waitress to get our waitress and then watched her walk to the front and talk with other coworkers and never tell our waitress we needed anything. Kind of seemed like everyone walked around and didn’t want to make eye contact with you because they didn’t want to be asked for anything.I will definitely give it another try because the food was so good, maybe it was just an off day for the waitstaff.

Consistently excellent food and amazing service. No matter when my husband and I come, it's always been a great experience.

My wife and I have been coming here for many years. Usually, for a special occasion, I ordered an appetizer my favorite stuffed mushrooms. Our dinner arrived but no appetizer. I was disappointed. Our waitress apologizes . For me, it was too late for her to bring it out as she offered.We still enjoyed our experience and dinner. We will go again. I understand that mistakes in communicating with the kitchen can happen. I was treated with a happy birthday dessert .
Been there half dozen times. Beautiful place, good food, and good staff. The prices are a little above average but livable

The waitress got my order wrong. I ordered Lasagna with red meat sauce. What I got was Spaghetti with meat sauce. I told her I wud just keep it. Then she poured water in my dad's lemonade. She charged extra for anchovies with the Ceasar Salad. Wasn't paying attention. Poor service tonight. VERY disappointed!

Brussel sprouts from the special menu were amazing. The baked ziti didn’t have mozzarella throughout like good baked zitis often do. It just had a little hat of melted mozzarella on top. Just meh.

I recently attended a retirement celebration at Rustico Ristorante in Murrieta. The restaurant was very busy which is always a good sign. I loved the decor. The food was excellent. Please stop by if you are in the neighborhood.
