My better half and I ate at Villa rustica again recently. Our experience was as expected as usual the food was outstanding. The service was very good and the overall experience satisfying. The dish I had was fillet off, so DiMartino. If my memory serves me correct. The soul was egg, battered, as in franchise including the lemon sauce and it was covered with olives, tomatoes, capers, and peppers. It was absolutely delicious. I certainly would recommend the dish for those who liked it here too Lenten obligations. My better half had the stuff so with crab meat, shrimp, etc., she always tells me how wonderful it is and there is always enough for her to makeit last more evening. The only thing I would improve at this wonderful establishment is the lighting. It's very bright and the furniture could probably use an upgrade. But who cares about that when the food is always off the charts? Delicious. Highly recommended.

The food is pretty good. They have a variety of pizzas, standard Italian fare, and some more interesting/unusual entrees. The service is excellent! They're attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is that of a nice cafeteria. The tables are very close together and the lighting is very florescent.

We order from here all the time. The food is always consistently great. The pizzas are the best in the area. The baked clams are so tasty. Anything we have ordered from here has been so good. The service is always spectacular. I can always count on this place.

It’s a good place with great staff. I only have a few sentences about the Chicken Saltimbocca alla Romana and the side of Penne pasta I ordered.There was no taste, the chicken was overcooked like rubber, too much oil, and the pasta was completely dry with some marinara sauce on top. I ate a bit and left it aside.I understand that when you have a vast menu, not everything is 100% fresh, and some stuff needs to be pre-cooked. The cook or chef must balance what is acceptable and what is not.Cesar salad: fresh greens, excellent cheese, the sauce is too saltyGnocchi Bolognese: great. I do recommendFrench Fries: RecommendCheese pizza: recommendedI will definitely go back there, but I will not order the same chicken again. It was disappointing because I was looking for a place that served something different from usual “Italian food” places, so maybe I will get lucky next time.Parking: It's a complex building. You will find a spot. For sure.

Excellent food and portion sizes. The Caesar salad is amazing. Great pasta and seafood

Not from the area but I am sure it is great with the locals. Overall I thought it was fine for what it is as far as a local Italian restaurant goes. Very busy for sure and that's why I think the locals absolutely love it.

Horrible restaurant. Sat down with 2 children, waited 30 minutes. During that time another family came ordered their foot and were served. When the staff was asked for an explanation they replied too bad. NEVER AGAIN.

Very disappointed stopped to grab some food decided to order to dine in, when I was about to place ny order I asked for a Calzone and waitress told me the Calzone where only to, my son was going to order as well. I asked I'd he order and if I order something else in the menue and the Calzone if I could just stay and eat it there because I didn't want to eat in the car, she told me No and decided to let the business go. Very disappointed

Has the BEST cauliflower pizza crust. Tastes just like regular! Try it with a garden salad and you won't be upset.

Dakota Perfetti

Food was extremely hot when it was given. Zucchini sticks were good, big clams were OK and the chicken fingers were good. The service was OK. Check on us once and we had to get up to ask for the check and boxes for our food. Overall I give two
