enjoyed our lunch here. Food was very good, came out in a timely manner, prices are reasonable. I would suggest to management they give Italian lessons to their servers so they pronounce Italian food correctly.

Went there for lunch, first time, experience was great, except for the annoying middle aged "boy" who was there with his mommy and wouldn't shut up. We ordered the arancini which was great. I got the lasagne delicious. My fiancé got the shrimp dish it had two shrimp which were not cleaned but everything else was great. The wine was good, i got the milk stout delicious. Just wished the boy woulda shut up for at least 5 seconds. Waitress was awesome as well

I came here with a friend and the food definitely didn't disappoint! The restaurant is beautiful and has so much natural light. Roberto, our server, was amazing! He was so attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend coming here and if Roberto is working, ask for him, you won't regret it!

We visit Santa Fe pretty frequently and we have been back to this place several times. It is a nice casual ambiance and the service we have had has been good enough to return! Now, let's get to the food. I am in love with the arugula/gorgonzola roasted pear salad, I also really like their calamari! Not being a huge fan of lasagna/pizza/spaghetti- those 2 are my go to's. I tried the wild mushroom ravioli this last visit, and that was pretty good too! The pizza is very good pizza as well.

Worked in Santa Fe for almost a year and ordered here at least once a week. Fresh made pasta, great happy hour, and cute patio. I love the burrata, golden beet salad, arranchini balls, and the roast with goat cheese polenta. Everything is always great.

Looking to try something other than our usual places in Santa Fe. Easy to find and plenty of parking. Walked in and was seated in the bar area. Drinks ordered & menu scanned - ok this is going to be harder than I thought. A bread basket while we decide. Slices of focaccia & olive breads with olive oil, basalmic vinegar & a honey labneh(never had this before). The labneh was delicious, sweet and mixed well with both olive oil & basalmic. Could have eaten more of this by itself. We decided on a 10" Wild Mushroom pizza. It was the right size for 2 - even then there was some left over. It had a great flavor. The Gorgonzola cheese added a different dimension in taste. It was a good stop and we'll have to come back to try the pasta dishes.

Being a native New Mexican, I was surprisingly done with my NM cuisine this last visit lol. Met an old friend here for lunch en route back to the sunport, as I randomly chose this restaurant via google and she had been here once before and stated that it was excellent. Well, she was spot on! The service was a little slow being that they weren't very busy during the late lunch crowd, but it wasn't terrible at all, and the servers were very nice and friendly. I ordered the caprese sandwich and upgraded from fries to a house salad for 1.00 (sandwich and side was 15.75). My friend ordered the spaghetti and a side of garlic bread, and my other friend ordered chicken parm which came with a side of pasta for 19.75). Everything was delicious and fresh, which makes a big difference! One of my friend's and I ordered a glass of wine each, and my other friend ordered an iced tea. Apparently, this used to be a former Outback Steakhouse (I never knew one existed in Santa Fe) & this is a family run business. The entire restaurant is very modern, clean, warm, and inviting; so much that I am headed back to NM for my birthday in September and I told my friend's and mom that this is the place I want to celebrate my birthday at!

We were looking for a nice modern Italian restaurant and we found it. Rustica is a nice casual Italian dining. My daughter and I are out in a girls weekend and we are trying several new and different places in Santa Fe. We started with the Arancini, fried rice balls, and eggplant timbale. Both were very good and unique. I'm not an eggplant fan yet I liked this. Their red sauce is very good as well. My daughter had the braised chuck roast and I had the bolognese. The beef was so tender you could separate it with your fork. The red wine gravy was very tasty. The bolognese was a very nice rich red sauce with plenty of meat. The noodles were Al dente, a little firmer than cooking at home. Both were served nice and hot. The server was friendly and answered our questions. The restaurant was a little loud with chatter and soft music playing. The bathrooms are very nice, clean and accessible. A very nice experience.

Another Happy Hour visit to explore more of the menu. We decided to order lunch dishes, rather than apps this time. The spaghetti was very fresh, bright, herbaceous. Lovely! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the pesto was delicious. The accompanying side with diced veggies, was a bit salty, but overall a nice dish. My companion had the strawberry margarita for her dessert course. She gave me a sip, and it was tart, sweet, and completely yummy. As always, the restaurant was clean and neat, and our waitress was helpful and made our experience lovely.
