Café Rustica | New Jersey

This place is very cute and quaint. The staff is very friendly and knows the menu. It seems like a family run shop.

The service was good but I think they are a little short staffed as the crew was running around and apologizing for the delays.

I had the pork chop it was was excellent

Cozy restaurant, a great find, food was true Italian comfort cuisine. Our waitress was super nice as well! Generous portions.

Celebrated a family birthday here & we all thought everything was amazing.
The restuarant has a nice homestyle feel.
We had a large group, and the service was awesome & made sure everyone got what they ordered.
Delicious Italian food, great portions for the price. Group ordered a variety of plates & it was all delicious.
Need to come back for sure to try out more dishes!

What a great find. The food and service was outstanding. Huge portions as you can see by the photo. Pictured are Chicken Carabonara and Veal with Eggplant, Spinach and Fresh Mozzarella. Our server was great and we ate outside in the lovely evening weather. Highly recommend.

Out of state visitor, first time eating there. The food was delicious. Everyone was very friendly and the place was packed. No parking spaces were available, which says a lot about the food.

I will be back and I loved the how the the scallops were so savory…. Oh gush and the pasta noodles perfection! Worth every bite!

Always an amazing experience here!! One of our favorite restaurants. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and staff is incredible.

This place had me at “What time shall we expect you” on their social media page ! The service and at home atmosphere makes this a place you could visit over and over again ! Be sure to bring your appetite too ! They give you enough food to satisfy you and then some ! Thank you Cafe Rustica for your hospitality! Can’t wait to visit again !

My husband and I went for the first time this past week, & loved it SO much, that we went again a few days later for a double date with friends! Maria is such an amazingly fun & welcoming waitress, the food is divine, & the portions are enough for multiple enjoyment! Everyone working there was friendly & created a lovely atmosphere!

Had a great lunch here and will definitely be back. Fresh bread was amazing, still can't figure out all the spices in the olive oil, but it was so good. The salad was very fresh, I recommend the port wine dressing I had. We had delicious homemade pasta primavera and a grilled chicken wrap. And the summer sangria was perfect for sipping outside on the nice late summer day we had. The sangria was a complex but well balanced.
Can't wait to go back

Our favorite Italian for dinner for the last 25 years and we went for lunch for the first time today. Similar to the dinner menu but with hot and cold sandwiches too. Great food & service.

The food is excellent, and the portions are generous. The servers are all attentive and friendly. Just a very good experience, from cocktails thru dessert. Highly recommend.

We went as a group of 12. Theresa, the owner, made us so comfortable. The food was beyond delicious, the portions filled our biggest eaters! We had several appetizers, each one was amazing. We highly recommend this as the best, true Italian restaurant around. Thank you We will be back!

Incredibly cute, good food and you can draw on the tables. What more can you ask for.

Such an amazing place and if I can give it more stars I would! The food is amazing and the service is amazing, definitely recommend!

Customer service was amazing and the staff were really nice! Parking lot was good as well. The food was also beyond my expectations. I recommend coming In here!

Very Nice place!!! Never had a bad meal here. The service is great!!! Outdoor dining, ample parking and the cost for the quality of food is perfect.

One of my favorites!!! Greatest Veal chop! Great wings and pizza for the quick grab and go takeout. Owners are always there and they care about the quality. Down to making sure the celery for the wings is separate so they stay cold and fresh!!!! Everyone has to try!

What a wonderful resturant! Visiting the Lyons VA hospital yesterday and they told us to try this place. The food was delicious and the service was amazing! Our servers name was "Heaven" and boy her mom named her right. She went above and beyond for us ! Great job! You were AMAZING 👏!

The happy hour menu is extremely reasonable and delicious! The ambience is classy and entrancing. The service has been wonderful and of course the steaks are always cooked to our preferred temperature.
