  Happily, we happened upon Rustica Ristorante while visiting the Essex area. Living in Boston, we have been to many Italian restaurants. Rustica is the best of the bunch. So good, in fact, that we went twice in one week. The pasta was excellent—cooked to perfection—tender and silky. My husband had fettuccini with Bolognese both times. I had pappardelle with cauliflower and fennel sausage. The dish was a perfect blend of the tartness of grilled cauliflower and the sweetness of the sausage. For the second dinner I had the veal chop. The demi-glace on the chop was sublime. For dessert, we sampled an almond cake and a cocoanut cake, both wonderful additions to the meal.
  The server and host were welcoming, attentive and willing to make small menu enhancements for our taste. The atmosphere is perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion.

  What an incredible experience we enjoyed last evening at Rustica's restaurant. Unfortunately, I am temporarily using a wheelchair and didn't think we would be able to dine there as there are stairs leading to the dining room and the bar has high top tables which wouldn't work for me. Then an amazing thing happened. The staff went out of their way to provide me with a standard table I could comfortably eat at and our party of four was able to enjoy dinner together. I am absolutely thrilled at how I was treated. The drinks, wine and food were fabulous. We hadn't been back to this gem of a place in awhile and were SO happy that it was just as wonderful as we remembered! We will definitely be back! Thank you for all you did for a guy using a wheelchair!

  I had the pan seared pork chop. It was cooked perfectly. My husband had the seafood pasta. He said it was very good. The service was very slow, though it appeared there was plenty of wait staff. That was the only drawback. It may have been attributable to the kitchen.

  I wanted to update my review (read below) because when a restaurant like Rustica Ristorante serves great food - not just amazing Italian, with fresh ingredients including homemade pasta you have to update!
  
  For the last 10 months I've NEVER A BAD MEAL at Rustica! Since they added some seasonal food - along with their fantastic menu - I wanted to share more photos. Rustica is not just a great shoreline restaurant, its one of Connecticut's best! Salute!
  
  By the way, if you haven't noticed COVID-19 killed the restaurant business so how about some understanding - staff's are stretched thin so chill, sip your drink, relax and leave the rush outside, please.
  
  Forgetaboutit... As I continue my move to the Essex area if someone told me I would find an Italian resturant like the ones I grew up in, I'd say you were crazy... and not just the food but how you are welcomed, treated and served; simply enough La mia famiglia. While I have had a variety of Rustica's menu items here is all anyone needs to know about this Ristorante: FOOD - Homemade, Fresh, Authentic, Delicious/STAFF - Accommodating, Welcoming, Warm, Honest/DRINKS - Tasty, Balanced, Classic THE BEST ESPRESSO Martini.
  
  PLEASE UNDERSTAND - freshly made food takes a little (just a little) longer so relax and enjoy the entire experience. Again I have not had a bad meal so here are just a few reactions - MEATBALLS made me cry as all I could do is think of my mom, addicting and outstanding. Grilled Calamari flavorful and tender. Antipasto simple & perfect. Ricotta Gnocchi... well FORGETABOUTIT! Fettuccini Putanesca (made dairy free) was so good the next day's leftovers tasted as good as when it was served. Grilled Veal Chop melted in my mouth. Deserts - yes again - Homemade - Cannoli perfection and the Affogato ideal simple ending. COVID - Staff is masked, less tables, socially distanced AND plastic dividers bewteen every table in dinning room.
  
  IMPORTANT: On my second visit I took my handicapped brother out for his 60th. Our timing was off (our fault) and the resturant was obviously getting ready to close - without hesitation the owners called us in with smiles. Within minutes we were seated and our family enjoyed one our best 60th birtihdays in years - my brother felt like a King!
  
  How in God's name this place isn't packed every night, I have no idea... Really. While I would say better for me, but in the Age of COVID supporting small, local, family businesses is essential for every town.
