Reviews summary

Rustiko serves elevated kosher Italian fare with standout dishes — fig and pesto pizzas, tropical salmon ceviche, beet gnocchi in goat-cheese fondue, branzino and papardelle — plus craveable fried cauliflower and desserts. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere make it a South Florida favorite with brunch and a distinct dinner menu. Occasional inconsistencies — slow seating-to-order time, slightly burnt or oversweet desserts, an unexpected 18% takeout fee and earlier-than-advertised closing — temper otherwise glowing praise.

Awesome food! Great service. Elevated flavors that take the dishes to the next level. Take your time and enjoy. It does take 10-15 from being seated to order taken but then the food comes really quickly. Passion mango smoothie is a must. They have a different chef for dinner (from 4) and I liked the variety on the dinner menu more. Both are fabulous though!

We came to Rustiko twice this trip, we couldn't get enough. Both times, I promised myself we'd save room for creme brulee... And couldn't ???? Everything was outstanding, particularly the fig pizza, tropical salmon ceviche, and beet gnocchi in goat cheesefondue.

Awesome experience here. Great food, great service and good ambiance. Some highlights were the fried bread appetizer, the first pizza on the menu (pesto and tomato) and the fried cauliflower. Personally I thought the fig and cheese pizza was toosweet. Fish was good (branzino with purple potatoes) and the papardelle was also great. Creme brulee was a little too burnt andbitter tasting.
