What chantelle brodie01 dislikes about Rusti Co:
Went here for arancini based on reviews and the long line out the door. Worst arancini we have had in all of Italy! So oily, dripping down your hand. No flavour to the rice or the filling. Husband had Ragu- very plain. I had the ‘Nduja filling- not spicy at all and hardly any Salami. Again flavourless. Don’t waste your time. View all feedback.
We loved everything we tried over a couple of visits- pizza by slice, calzone, croquette, arancini and a fresh roll with salami. Simple Calabrian fare done well. We just did take away. You can sit inside but looks pretty basic.
This is a casual place mostly take away, though they do have seating at the back. Lots of vegetarian choices, we tried a pizza slice and arancini. Good food, fresh and reasonably priced. Service is cheerful and attentive. Popular with locals and tourists.
I spent two weeks in Tropea and probably picked up something to eat from Rusti Co every other day. Terrific pizza by the slice, tasty arancini, sautéed spinach and truly amazing lasagne. There is a small seating area if you want to eat there, but it's not particularly cozy so I consider this to be more of a take out or quick lunch place. The food however, is restaurant quality. Re: Another review referencing oily arancini...I'm not sure where they ate, but it could not have been this place. Their arancini were not at all dripping with oil. In fact, their arancini were surprisingly flavorful crispy on the outside and light on the inside.
We ordered the pistachio and ndujia Both were really nice I will choose this place because it is a cheap and yummy bite on the city
It was second time here in Tropea, and that place it is a mandatory line to live. Arancini were great as always, fresh ingredients, fabulous taste into a simple but nice place to eat it. My prefer were Arancino with onion tuna and n'duja. So, I read some several negative opinion about this place, but I cannot understand why: the first time, when I tried onion and tuna pizza's, I've spoke with an old grand Ma in the while she was peeling a lot of fresh onion!!!! It was an amazing scene, into the back of the main room (external back area). I want to suggest this place, they are very good, c'mon guys, go like this.
