Rustico Italiano Ristorante Lake Worth

Love It. Great experience here. Restaurant was surprisingly empty for a place with such high reviews (granted, it was a Tues night). There weren't that many servers so it was a little hard to get their attention, but they were so nice, very thoughtful and friendly. Food was solid. I had the black linguini Rustico pasta with shrimp and calamari and my friend was able to 'customize' a vegetarian pasta to include mushroom rather than eggplant or something, and use olive oil. Was very nice of them to accommodate! My friend also asked for hot water and they gave her a nice little teapot for that. The bread was piping hot and soft. If I had come in with more of an appetite, I would have asked for more.. Pricing was reasonable. They also take reservations. Would come again!

Background: We arrived around 8:20 on the Thursday evening after The movie. Experience: As soon as we walked through the door, We were greeted with a smile and a warm 'Good evening". The restaurant was active (80.% occupied), yet with a soothing vibe in the background. We were asked about our choice of seating and taken immediately. After sitting at a lovely table for a few moments, the Maitre d mr Nino. returned to offer us a more private table which had just become available. Because we had been seated between two parties well into their meals, we chose to look at the other option. I'll call this 'attentive-plus'. We accepted a lovely table in the back corner, private, quiet, secluded and very nice. We were then greeted by our server, Luis, who from moment one presented as a truly professional care taker. His greeting, suggestions and effort to enhance our experience at Rustico show his commitment not only to his profession, but also to the establishment where he has settled in. His depth of menu knowledge and ability to convey that to us us further enhanced the experience. This continued all night! No rush, no hurry, just sit back, relax and enjoy this moment. From the Pappardelle and Veal, it was all timed and presented in the highest manner of class imaginable. Lest I not forget the bread and pesto served beforehand. Fantastico ! We enjoyed our meals immensely, with a nice pause afterwards, only to be treated to an amazing dinner The plate of carefully selected dessert topped off an extremely memorable experience. Ok, so I'm a new reviewer, but with world class travel and dining experience, it took Rustico to make me put it in writing, Don't miss this one!
