Also, yes I realize it's weird to 'yell' Decaf since we should be calmer without caffeine - but it's great they offer that option! I ordered the Chicken De Luca which was good and cooked very well. It could've used a bit more seasoning though. We also got the fried polenta calamari which was great as well - the sauce with it definitely helped. We also got the Chopped Caprese and the Pizza Abruzzo which were both very good. Crust on the pizza was nice and crispy.

The food was just as high quality as it is when ordering individual meals, which is not always the case with catering. Everything was prepared perfectly, packaged well, and ready on time, making hosting completely stress free. Guests loved the food and several people asked where it was from. The service and communication were excellent, and it reinforced why we keep coming back. Tre Sorelle truly delivers whether it is dine in, takeout, or catering.

Getting to Rustico during construction (the street is closed) can be a challenge. Our biggest…read morechallenge was our GPS taking us to the alley behind the restaurant. That was nice, I suppose, but there is no entrance in the back. We ended up parking just down the street and walking, unfortunately in the rain. Some of that is important for as long as the construction lasts. Our GPS issue has nothing to do with the restaurant. It's just a friendly FYI in case it's your first time. The place was cute, but kind of ordinary. I was surprised when trying to find the restroom there is another big room of tables behind the bar. Servers were attentive, but they mislead us just a bit. Our friend asked about the paella and was told it was, or maybe could be (?) a single serving. Well... no way. It was massive. I believe he enjoyed it, but didn't come close to finishing it. I'd say it's easily a two-person meal. We were also told pizzas were individual size. The pizza had eight slices and could easily serve two. Mark enjoyed it. He ordered the four cheese pizza, which included blue cheese. I took a bite and definitely tasted it and didn't care for it. I think the blue cheese might have been one reason Mark DID like it. I ordered an appetizer, PULPO A LA PLANCHA from the Hot Tapas menu. It was quite good. I also had the soup of the day, which was mushroom. It was delicious! I finished all my food and was perfectly satisfied and full.

I loved that they had a small outdoor patio to enjoy the weather and be connected with the busy downtown. Their menu had starters, pastas, pizzas, and entrees in a curated format. They serve wine and beer regularly but have a rotating specials menu for cocktails and food. Our server let us know that the bruschetta rotates weekly which is cool. For mains, I got the Ricotta Gnocchi. All of that pastas are clearly homemade. The gnocchi was certainly pillowy and paired nicely with the creamy truffle sauce. My husband got the Orecchiette pasta which could have had a more prominent sauce to it. Overall, the pasta was fresh and ingredients tasted of good quality. The portions for price point seemed a little off as dishes didn't come with a bread basket nor side salad. I wish we would have gotten either a bit more pasta or something else to make the price feel of value. Either way, this was a nice spot to enjoy good company at. Our server, Nina, could not have been nicer and more attentive to our group.

You can see the time, care, and passion that goes into everything he makes. Ciro was so warm and friendly, making the whole experience feel personal and special. This is the kind of place that reminds you why you love going out to eat. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves authentic Italian food.

VIBE: The two dining areas were casual and comfortable, woody -- sort of supper club-ish. Plenty of Frank Sinatra playing. There were hardly any other diners, so no crowd noise to speak of.lighting was good, SERVICE: The staff were kind of low-key -- polite but not overly cordial. Given that the place was not at all busy, we expected our server to be attentiveg2@ and our food and drinks to come out quickly. But no. FOOD: We started with rapini & beans; it was very good, with ample garlic, and rapini cut into manageable pieces and nicely cooked. As an entree, I had a massive plate of sausage, peppers and potatoes. I expected more flavor (especially from the sausage), but it was all pleasantly ho-hum (and the sausage would have been more manageable cut into coins rather than large hunks). My wife reported that her pasta with broccoli was bland to a fault, without even a hint of garlic. The food was not bad-tasting, just (with the exception of our starter) blah,and not worthy of the downtown prices. Given the disappointing food and seevuce, we're not likely to return. There are better choices, even here in the 'burbs.

My husband had the pear pizza and when we couldn't finish, the staff even suggested to us his recommended way of how to eat it once we take it home. Really helpful and sweet. Crab cakes were so insanely good as well. They charred them a bit truthfully, but I honestly preferred them that way. We also had the pistachio tiramisu affogato and oh my gosh was it SO yummy. The espresso, the pistachio gelato (ice cream?) whatever it was, it was gone in seconds. I also really appreciated the size of the restaurant. The noise wasn't absurdly loud, the music was at the perfect level, and the lighting offered just enough at you needed. It left staff attentive without smothering. My only criticism was that the glass of wine we received had pieces of cork in it. They swapped out the main glass at our request but left carafe which also had it in there. Not the end of the world, we just didn't drink it. Also, the price was so reasonable! We had a glass of wine, mocktail, crab cakes, pasta, pizza, tiramisu and a cup of decaf for under $100. I was extremely impressed and already looking forward to our return!

Chef Gabriel's food is creative and delicious. His brother-in-law Jose, I believe, is the one behind the great cocktail list and making housemade aperitifs. The four of us shared two appetizers. The tuna tartare - chopped tuna on top of creamy avocado surrounded by crispy capers and quail yolk. It was served with homemade potato and vegetable chips. We also shared the goat cheese - creamy melted goat cheese sitting in a pool of tasty marinara. This was served with grilled baguette pieces. This appetizer could use more of the baguette as we ran out of bread and still had goat cheese left to enjoy. For dinner, my sister had the gnocchi with braised beef, short rib, spinach and mushrooms. I know this dish was delicious because this is what my husband ordered the first time we dined here. My two cousins had the chicken limone and said it was very good. (I have my eye on this for next time ). I opted for the branzino which was moist and served in a delicious lemon caper sauce. I would like to see a traditional pasta with marinara sauce on the menu. I think that would be a great addition for clientele who are into the traditional instead of the creative and unique. There was no room for dessert, but shots of limoncello came to the table. So sweet of Divino. Let me tell you the limoncello was amazing. Luckily, I was able to buy a bottle of this housemade limoncello. Since the four of us were raving about the limoncello, right before we walked out the door Divino gave us a tasting of the housemade pistachio cream. Omg! So smooth, creamy and divine. We enjoyed our conversations with the chef and his brother-in-law, the other owner. Great guys who care about their customers and restaurant.
