I absolutely love this spot. Great service, amazing food, and dessert as well. The staff is on point, super friendly and quick. The best gnocchi I've had around Dallas! I will always recommend La Rustica and will be coming back!

My husband and I tried this tonight for the first time. It was busy, but not too loud. We had great service- very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. We had a difficult time deciding what to try, so over ordered but enjoyed it all and brought lots of leftovers home!

------ Critics Review ------ Amazing! Go! Impeccably high-end trained staff and a real chef (Ali) who knows what's she is doing!! This place needs to be in the hot spots of Dallas - it's that good! So I walk I and a charming hostess who is well mannered greets me like I'm at The Mansion at Turtle Creek (Dallas). For an early 20's to be that refined and professional is unheard of. Now I'm at the table and another mid-20s is our waitress (Andrea). Impeccable service and highly trained. Immediately I know the owners of this place know what VIP customers expect. But wait!!! We are in the middle of nowhere - red neck fishermen land! We started at 5pm... and when we left at 7pm, the place was packed with people in line for tables. Impressive. Calamari: Herb seasoned and lightly battered - but the crust was crunchy, perfectly cooked, delicate meat and absolutely no rubber!! Delicate and incredible! The marinara is warm, perfectly seasoned balance of tomato and herbs. Hint of salt beautifully done. One of my favorites ever. Score: 10 out of 10 Shrimp Scampi: Obviously handmade pasta, perfectly seasoned and delicious sauce. Score: 9/10 Chicken Parmesan: Delicious. Great ratios of cheese to chicken. Ask for double sauce (not enough for the size of the dish). Chicken is pounded a bit too thin yielding a tad more dense protein - but still nice. (Could be 30% thicker which would increase the chicken flavor ratio.) Score: 8.5/10 Fettuccine Alfredo: Excellent. Well made with all the right ratios of what you expect. (Always ask for double sauce for a better dish.) Score: 9.5/10 Overall: 5/5 Go!!

The Hubs and I got reservations for our anniversary. I definitely recommend getting reservations if it is on the weekend as all the tables were filled throughout the evening. We were seated right away and also greeted right away. We ordered drinks off the holiday menu, I got a cranberry spritz with limoncello. That was absolutely delicious and my husband loved his apple butter old-fashioned. The appetizers looked amazing but we didn't try this time so we would have room for dessert. I definitely want to go back and try the focaccia and the Arancini. We got Caesar salad salads, and for dinner we had the shrimp scampi with added artichokes and the sausage penne with peppers. We loved it! We shared the tiramisu for dessert with coffee and it was perfect! We are already planting our return trip. It is such a cute place with delicious food and great service!

We were very pleased with the food here! I love you can substitute your pasta for gluten free. I will say the gluten free pasta isn't the best but very nice they have it.

Chicken parm upgraded pink sauce on pasta

Cute spot for a little Italian date night! A nice gem off 380, for sure. Greeting and service (shout out to Oscar) was prompt, everyone was very attentive to their tables from what I observed, and the food was delicious! Plenty of seating when we arrived around dinner time on a Thursday night it did start to fill up) and they have an outdoor patio section if you want to sit outside. We tried the house made foccacia bread 5/5- bread is a must to start before an Italian dinner! I love a good flavorful carb, calamari-crispy, but the marinara sauce here is super thick imo.. I did I enjoy the second sauce a lot more, they accompany the calamari with marinara and a refreshing citrus herb flavored dip, that was tasty 4/5, lobster ravioli 3/5-again sauce was pretty thick and this time it was the pink sauce, pink sauce had great flavor, but I felt the lobster lacked in flavor (as a New England girl, my lobster standard is pretty high) so the dish was just meh to me..Chicken parm with upgraded pink sauce (thick)-chicken was moist!! a great portion size, pasta was well cooked 4/5, and tiramisu 5/5- authentic flavor-must try!! I would come back here again.

The Mother's Day brunch was a delight. I ordered the Sausage, egg and cheese pizza Delicious! So large took home half. Dad ordered the Canoli French toast really hefty serving as well. He brought home 1/2 of his. Our daughter ordered the Chicken Picotta, it's her favorite an as usual it was great. Oh, did I mention $4 dollar mimosa's we had quite a few of those as well. When were here it feels like family. Be sure to check them out for yourself. The food was delicious, drinks ample and the service wonderful. Great open air seatings welcoming to all. I had the lobster ravioli win Vodka sauce. Not usually a fan of vodka sauce however this stuff is like nothing I have ever tasted. We have traveled the world eaten in some of the finest restaurants and man are we happy that they are just a few blocks from our home.

Not sure where my review went but we found this gem while in Texas visiting. Celebrated my birthday & our 44th Anniversary there 1st week of May. Out Server was excellent, food was excellent and we just loved it! Will be back when we visit again in a couple months!!

I met up with a few friends for brunch today. The place was highly reviewed so we thought we'd give…read moreit a try, unfortunately this was a very disappointing experience. The restaurant was small, not too busy, w/ cute decor. When I arrived, I found my friends seated in the very back near the kitchen and restroom, which was my first issue with the experience. Since I was late, I did not make a fuss of it because I was unsure if all the other tables were full when my friends arrived. For appetizers, they ordered the deviled eggs, bacon and Brussels sprouts, all of which they enjoyed. For our entrees, a friend of mine and I ordered the avocado toast with no egg. Unfortunately, they removed the egg along with everything else so we were served cold "toast" and avocado (sadly, my friend actually had bits of browned avocado and just chose to not eat her food at all). Since we could not find our server, I asked another server that was nearby for a piece of hot toast along with the additional toppings that were not added, so I could try and rectify the situation myself, which he kindly brought. The issue with this was that he only brought a piece of hot toast and I had to ask for the ingredients again. Sadly, after all that, it was still very below subpar, flavorless, and worst of all, it was 18$. The home fries were delicious though, even though they weren't hot. Another friend ordered the burger and requested it cooked well done (since the menu said it is typically cooked medium), she even let the server know that she wanted it that way bc medium would upset her stomach. The burger came out and looked beautiful, with all the right fixins', however it was cooked medium. Once again, our server was nowhere to be found, so we asked a nearby server to have it remade which he did. When they brought it out again, we were assured it was made well done, however when she cut it, it was in fact medium. They kindly remade it, and the third time was a charm. They were kind enough to even Comp it and the chef even came out as well, which was nice. Another friend ordered the lobster roll, apparently when they first ordered appetizers, but when it took so long to arrive, the server let us know she had not put the order in because she thought it was an entree. This was an honest mistake/ miscommunication, this also occurred at the beginning of our experience so it was not a big deal. Despite the fact that 3 of the 4 of us did not enjoy our food or had issues, one of my friends DID enjoy her food, so we will take that as a win (especially since she's pregnant so we really needed her to enjoy her meal)!!! I understand and appreciate the service and hospitality industry, but with that being said, I want to feel valued and appreciated as a guest. This whole experience was truly upsetting. It seemed like no matter how clearly we communicated our orders and requests, they were disregarded. I also understand that mistakes happen, as do miscommunications but that fact that it was constant, just showed a lack of care for us as guests. And to top all of this off, our server that was really not very attentive, and was hard to find at times. I do appreciate the restaurants attempts to fix the issues but unfortunately the amount of errors is something I can't not ignore. I can wholeheartedly say I/we will never return to this restaurant.

Unfortunately both our meals were incredibly salty, and I say that as a salt lover. The salsa verde on my chicken and the chili con carne on his burrito were both too salty. The beans are a bit watered down as well. The menu is extensive here so I'm curious what the other meals are like- there definitely seems to be a fusion of two cuisines happening, which I actually very much appreciate. The staff is very kind! I'm all about customer service. As far as the setting, the music was a little too loud for me but it's a very causal vibe here and also plenty of tables and space, and lots of tv's. It was disappointing the draft beer wasn't working also. I might give this another try.

We couldn't be happier with the service and the quality of the food we got yesterday at this food truck when they were in Kaleidoscope Park, Frisco. We saw a note on Instagram that they were coming, and when I called the number on Saturday a super nice woman named Danielle answered and couldn't have been friendlier. I could hear she was busy in the background, but she steered us right by suggesting we place our order ahead of time online for next day pickup. Very excellent advice. The next day the line was already huge when we got there - I walked up to the front and asked the woman working the table "is there a separate line for pre orders?" and she pointed to where I was standing, off to the side of the huge line, and said "right here." 5 minutes later we had the freshest, tastiest food we've had in a long time. The crawfish was a huge hit - and authentic. The corn and potatoes were cooked in the juice with the crawfish and had all that flavor. The boiled shrimp were huge, fresh, and delicious. And the fried catfish? Oh my GOD - the best flavored catfish in DFW! I don't know what spices they use, or who is doing the frying, but big round of applause to them! I only wish I'd been smart enough to order more - the two pieces were big, but I could have eaten 5 more. Especially after sharing small bites with the others in my group. Even the French fries were great. We hope to eat their food again. Please come to Glen Echo Brewing in Wylie!! Thanks Danielle and team for the hard work. I think the huge line of people waiting patiently in the sun tells you how much their food is loved. I can't believe more people on Yelp don't know how good they are.

Against my better judgment, I decided to give Spicy Tails another chance and it was disappointing…read more This time, they forgot my corn and potatoes that I paid for, which is unacceptable. On top of that, most of the crawfish were gritty, which tells me they were not cleaned properly. That completely ruined the experience. To make matters worse, the crawfish were also very small. Between missing items, poor quality, and lack of attention to detail, I will not be returning.

We entered on a weekday mid afternoon and was greeted with a friendly hello and any help to see the menu. There were no paper menus, just the menu up on the screens above the counter. There are few sandwiches and salads, but they all looked very good so we chose the Cuban Press and Turkey Pesto Press sandwiches. After a short wait, we got our orders each on a silver tray with nicely presented half cut sandwiches and homemade chips. The Cuban press sandwich was warm, filled with seasoned chopped pork and sliced ham melted with cheese and brown mustard on a grilled ciabatta bread. It was really good like a comfort food. The turkey pesto had two thick, sliced turkey breast, warmed with freshly made pesto spread, which bloomed with the bright green color and the smell of prime freshness, and nestled with melted cheese on a grilled ciabatta bread. The first bite really welcomed the combo of warm turkey and fresh pesto. Delicious! The homemade chips were super delicious and we ate every single piece. The sandwiches were so large that we had enough to take home for another meal. The dining room was small and cozy and had two tall tables, 2 medium tables and one couple size table in the corner. Service was super friendly and sincere. Their workers really cared about the food and making it right the first time. This really is a foodie place. They had bottled wines on the wall to select from and another small cooler with chilled wines and specialty beers. They had fresh made sides upfront and desserts, but we skipped this time. Definitely something worth getting on another visit. This place was very clean. Bathroom was well taken care of. This place is in a small strip mall and is definitely worth stopping by just right off the interstate. When we're around this area again, we'd certainly will stop by again.

The cashier offered us a nut sample and our 3 year old enjoyed those. then the other employee gave our 3 year old some fresh fruit for free as we waited for our to go food. It was so thoughtful! The sandwiches come with the freshly seasoned chips. The inside is clean and set up well. Highly recommend this place!
