“Went here for our anniversary day dinner. Very upscale place with great drinks, chef prepared food and a very upscale atmosphere. Terrific service too. I had the Atlantic Cod and Debbie had the Bolognese Riggota. Then the chocolate brownie/ice cream for dessert. Delicious! We will definitely be back. It's rather small so reservations are highly recommended.”
“We had a wonderful dinner at Rustica while celebrating my daughter’s graduation from Western Michigan University. The Snake River Farms Wagyu Gold flank steak was outstanding, the salmon was delicious, and the banana cake with chocolate buttercream icing was the perfect finish to the meal. Oh, don't forget the potato leek soup was good to the last drop. Grilled Cesar salad was a highlight. Everything we ordered was excellent, and the service and atmosphere made the celebration extra special for our whole family. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town! 🎓🥩🍰✨”
“An amazing venue. The place is very homely and the food is fine dining worthy. I love my streaks and this was up there with the best. Service was fantastic, albeit we did feel rushed at times and I think the team just wanted to clean up as we were the last ones to leave. Totally get it. A must visit.”
“I had the Snake River Waygu Flank Steak, my fiancé had the Bouillabaise, and we had the Sautéed Bay Scallops as a starter. The food was very good. I highly recommend the Sautéed Bay Scallops as a starter. The waygu was cooked perfectly but there was something different to the flavor that kept throwing me off. It's honestly just my taste, nothing against the steak or chef. My fiancés dish was very good as well. Their White Russians were A-1 and hands down recommend for a choice of drink. The service was impeccable, polite, and knowledgeable. We reserved a table so there was no waiting, even with us showing up 15 minutes early. The atmosphere was nice. Not loud and overpowering. The prices were reasonable for the food and drink menus. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try on your next business diner or date night.”
“My favorite restaurant in Kalamazoo. We again had a great meal at Rustica. we started with a Harvest Salad and Mushroom Fondue. The salad was fruity and nutty with a great date component. The Mushroom Fondue was savory, full of texture and brothy flavors. Loved them both. We followed that with the Gnocchi, which was so deliciously savory and creamy. Plus the Seafood Boulliabase, loaded with scallops, shrimp, salmon and potatoes. Loved it. They have a great wine list too.”
