Amazing food. If you're fortunate enough to be within walking distance for lunch, do yourself a favor and head on over. Even if it's a little pricier than the average lunch venue, it is well worth the investment to sample their dishes. Most of their ingredients are locally sourced and incredibly fresh and good quality. I have sampled almost every item on the lunch menu (and dinner too) so I am confident in saying the...

What Abigayle Terry doesn't like about Cafe Rustica:
Bad service, OK food. Horrible service, disengaged wait staff that seemed annoyed when we asked for anything wine list, salt pepper, silverware (requirement, right Food was just OK I will definitely not return based on the poor service. View all feedback.
Small place with a large heart. do not let the rustic look this place or its small size fool them. they can always have a good quality meal in cafe rustica, in an eccentric, type of European setting. whatever it is, it always meets my gourmet requirements. the Mediterranean shortstack is a good opportunity to begin their meal, followed by a suppe or pasta. whether the brot or the wine selection, it is always a place I have to come back to, that is, if my wallet naturally allows me.
Good food and service. I must say that this restaurant is overhauled and richmond again dissapointed with its substandard memories.
Good food- HORRIBLE SERVICE. I've eaten at Cafe Rustica twice. The first time I went to dine in for lunch. We placed our orders almost as soon as we sat down. There were maybe 6 other people there, most of them already eating. We waited for 55 minutes to get our food and eventually had to ask our server to box it to go so we wouldn't be late returning to work. There was absolutely no reason it should have taken that long we all ordered salads and it wasn't busy The second time, we ordered take out. We called at 1:30 and they said it would be ready in 45 minutes. At 1:15 we went to pick it up. The server didn't even address us until we'd been standing there for 10 minutes there...read more
Total disappointment. I was first introduced to Cafe Rustica at lunchtime by an associate from Richmond Ballet, and it was a very pleasant experience. I suggested a friend and I dine there prior to going to the Ballet last week. It was A TOTAL DISAPPOINTMENT AND EMBARASSMENT. We arrived at 5:00 PM, and I advised the waiter we needed to be out by 6:15. We ordered. She just wanted (and I forgot the name) but it was just a cheese appetizer with a few foo-foo named olives. It arrived 50 minutes later. I ordered the Arugula salad. 20 minutes later the waiter informed me they were out of arugula and would substitute the greens. Fine. Salad arrived at 5:40. By the way, there was only one other...read more
Excellent food at an excellent price. Authentic Eurpean cuisine. Very good and inexpensive wine list.
