Rustica | Eatery and Tavern

Delicious food. Many compliments to the chef on a perfectly cooked tenderloin. Images show steak ordered rare.

Excellent restaurant. Freshly made food, well thought out combinations, very friendly, attentive service—and the prices are extremely reasonable to boot (especially during happy hour). I really don’t think I can say anything nicer without sounding hyperbolic.

I can say that I came all the way from St. Cloud on my brother’s advice specifically to try this restaurant, and I wasn’t disappointed.

Come during happy hour and try a pizza on the side, it’s worth it.

Rustica is hands-down one of the best restaurants I have eaten at in the FM Area. The atmosphere is inviting and cozy. The service was impeccable. The food was nothing short of amazing. Seriously, the best baked Mac and Cheese I've ever had in my life. I look forward to visiting Rustica again for many years to come.

Visited 11/23/21.
Food was fantastic, and drink was great.
-Bacon-Wraped Chorizo-Stuffed Dates, phenomenal combination of ingredients
-Pasta Chorizo, very good
-The Haole, delicious toppings and seasoning
-Pink Moscato, good

Walleye and poutine were awesome. Well presented meal and reasonably priced for what you get. Great option for out of town explorers.

I was impressed at the level of culinary inventiveness that rivals restaurants in much larger, competitive cities.

The lavender lemonade was colourful and tasteful in both senses of the word.

Pork saltimbocca! Who knew that pork would succumb so perfectly to the sublime tastes of saltimbocca's capers and lemon. Incredibly fresh and delightful.

The medjool dates appetizer was likewise innovative, a clever combination of unexpected flavors with chorizo and bacon.

Even the bread plate was unusual and new, with little rounds that tagged like Yorkshire pudding, and a chili cornbread with tomato jam.

The atmosphere is so attractive with high ceilings, a rustic yellow brick wall, dark wood and paintings throughout.

I felt so satisfied after this meal - great flavors, nice surroundings and a really pleasant evening out.

Great food and service, nice diversity of menu items. It has adventurous combinations without being overly Avant-grade. Need to return and try things I didn't have room to try.

We stopped here after the Post-Traumatic Funk Syndrome concert on Saturday night. What a wonderful experience. A waitress was engaging and helpful. They're happy hour specials are extraordinary. We sampled the three pizzas. They were all delicious! Rich and full of flavor. I will definitely go back and recommend it to anyone.

First of all, Drew, our server, was amazing! Omg, don’t ever let go of her! The ambiance was really nice and the food, oh my gosh. We had the bacon-wrapped chorizo-stuffed dates (a whiff of curry flavor with the sweet dates), chile-braised beef tacos (must try!!! So good), The Haole pizza (think Hawaiian pizza but better), and French Farmer (the truffle oil flavor won’t leave you taste buds). Great place for date night, awesome music, amazing staff (hi Drew!), impeccable service, and delicious food. Woohoo! Must visit in Moorhead :)

The Margherita pizza was simple and tasty, just what I wanted. The atmosphere was comfortable and the staff was friendly. Nice place, I'd like to try several other menu items.

First time at Rustica. I'll definitely be back. Service was excellent. Food was awesome. Loved the Burata!Parking was the only challenge.

Service was very friendly, though the food took a bit long to come out. Busy but not overwhelmed. Delicious options for pizza and appetizers at amazing happy hour prices. Good beer and wine selection as well.

The walleye is the best I have had in a very long time! The beef medallion tips were also amazing. Definitely will return and bring friends!

The food was amazing, and the prices were pretty reasonable. But the service was perfect. Staff was all friendly and professional. The pace was just right, our food came out quickly but we didn't feel rushed. We will be back!

We had an opportunity to celebrate our daughters graduation here. Great staff and amazing food. Highly recommend.

Tastey food, terrific happy hour appetizers, great berry mules! Both blackened shrimp and burger were considered appetizers, $5 off each!

This is one of the best places to eat in the Fargo-Moorhead area.

The drink menu is unique and features a long list of unique and well executed cocktails.

The food was exceptional. The poppovers and cornbread will wow you, especially the jam they come with. I tried two pasta dishes, both of which amazed me in their complexcity and quality of flavor. Everyone in my party was very pleased with their salads and mains.

We had a great server who was personable and attentive.

This is a excellent restraunt! I hope I can enjoy many more trips here.

Best happy hour in town, amazing food and great drinks. Tuesday-Saturday happy hour is 1/2 price drinks and half price appetizers and pizzas.

First, I highly recommend this bar/restaurant (Tavern/Eatery). Our staff were great, giving recommendations and quick with service. Our food was very tasty, and a diverse taste. It is highly recommended that you make a reservation if you want to sit in the Eatery. Tavern area is first come, first serve.

Food was a bit overly complex, certainly not rustic. Fried chicken starter was enough for a dinner and was delicious. Short ribs a little tough, pizzas good. The almond pound cake was very dry. Reservations strongly suggested
