The server was completely informative and nice. I would so go back again the pizza was fresh and came out of the brick oven for everyone to see because the restaurant has a kind of open floor concept where you can see them cooking the pizza pies which I thought was great it's a great place to come with friends family or just by yourself. There is also a bar for you to sit at if you don't want to get a table. The wait was long because a lot of people want to come here and eat and vibe out but it was worth it the food was amazing! Can't wait to come back when I visit Puerto Rico again!

The space is small so this not ideal for a lot of people to eat dinner, I think 4 should be the max if you go in a group. With that being said I would recommend ordering ahead and taking pizza to go unless you don't mind waiting. It took about 45 mins to an hour to get food but I think it was worth it. Prices are reasonable and the food is yummy!

The restaurant is spacious, family-friendly, clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly and quick. They're open Thursday-Sunday from 4:00 PM to 9:30 PM. Now let's get down to the food! We started with the meatballs, and OMG--they were huge and absolutely delicious! Then came the wings, and if you know my daughter, you know she's a picky eater... but she had no problem going to town on those wings! For pizza, we ordered two: Sausage & peppers Half pepperoni and half chicken When I tell you there were 10 of us, and everyone left full and happy, I mean it! We also ordered a salad, and everything we had was fresh and full of flavor. Of course, we couldn't skip the drinks! Our waiter recommended the Dress Italiana, which was such a refreshing way to start the meal. We also tried a Rum Punch, Piña Colada, and a Moscow Mule, and they were all great. I have to say, it's really hard to find a truly great pizza place these days, so when I find one, I'm going to give them their flowers. This place definitely earned them. The restaurant started filling up fast around 6:30 PM, and it's easy to see why. Whenever I'm back in Puerto Rico and craving pizza, Rustica will be my go-to. Highly recommend!

Came here for my lady's birthday. We came on a Friday night so the place was packed and there was a…read moreline. We aren't part of the bourgeoisie so we were comfortable with sitting at the bar. We were able to get inside immediately and be seated without a wait even though there was a group of 6 waiting outside. I feel like we were seated either by the owner or the manager either way the woman was very accommodating. I feel like if they had known the damage we were about to do in there they would have sat us down at a table. To give you some background context we live on Calle Loiza so we frequent a lot of these restaurants on the main strip. Even before her birthday I had been on a quest to find some a godo meatball sub. Biga does not make a meatball sub however they make a meatball pizza. When we walked in and they placed the menu in front of us my mouth began to salivate like I was a hyena following a pack of lions during the dry season on the Serengeti. No lie the way my stomach twisted up and I began drooling while looking at the menu I was ready to kick open the door to the kitchen and stick my hand in the brick oven and pull everything out and stuff it with no qualms into my face. The scents wafting from the kitchen had me ready to fight the chef barefoot in a parking lot full of glass for whatever they were concocting in the back. Once my lady saw the look in my eyes and asked me if I was ok we decided on drinks. Now there aren't Espresso martini's on the menu per se but my lady spotted the industrial grade espresso machine behind the bar. She's very particular with her's and always keeps an eye on the bartender to make sure there are 3 beans in there. Now personally I myself am not a vodka person but according to her this was the 2nd be espresso martini on the island outside of LaLa (Bad Bunny's restaurant located in the mall of San Juan) Something about seeing the espresso coming out of a machine that looks like it was imported from Italy just gave the drink the extra oomph. I had a drink called the drunken monkey or something like that, I remember looking at the menu and reading the ingredients and thinking this is probably the most dangerous drink on the island. Had we just not left a bar prior to coming to Biga I would have ordered 17 of those monkey drinks. The owner/manager lady that seated us ended up taking our food order. By this point she could have told me the special was sautéed roadkill, the way everyone else's food looked and smelled I was ready for whatever the chef put in front of us. We started off with the Hummus with the fresh baked Naan and lamb, the mussels, and the bacon wrapped dates. I apologize for how explicit this next part is going to be as I describe the food. THE FUCKING HUMMUS W THE LAMB. imagine going to Dubai as a billionaire, You're on a yacht with 20 models and bottles of Cristal. The servants come out and bring some platters of food. This is what they feed Sheiks and Crown Princes before they have a "Dubai Chocolate Party" on the models. I felt like middle eastern royalty eating this. My lady burned her hand on the Naan because it was that fresh out the oven. 1,000 out of 10. Same can be said for the bacon wrapped dates. In my heart of hearts I know bacon is Haram but the way they made it taste I'm pretty sure the prophet would have let it slide. Now best bacon wrapped dates I''ve had on the island are from Graziani on Calle Cerra but they gave them a run for their money. Now I'm not sure if the manager lady really thought we were a cute couple or no one ordered mussels all week because the amount that came out on the plate was ludicrous. I put a photo of the empty shells in the review. We honestly could have stopped after the apps the pizza was not necessary. But it was her birthday so we needed to enlarge our backs as much as possible. We got the meatball pizza. It was so good that you can see we are missing 2 slices before we could take a photo. Now here is my only point of contention with the entire meal. My lady loves Brick oven pizza. We are both from NY. I ONLY consider NY style pizza real pizza. I'm not from Naples or Genova. Screw the "authentic" shit. Give me a slice from a sweaty Armenian guy behind the counter with 2 Salvadorans, a Colombian and a Mexican working in the back. (Real NY'ers know Bronx Little Italy has 3 Italians left) However this brick oven pizza did stand out for me because it tasted like it had a sour dough starter going on. The dough was amazing. We were too full by this point to try a dessert but based off of the rest of the food, I'm sure it would have been amazing. Entire experience was a million out of 10. We will def be returning even tho we live 2 blocks away.

Here is what we noticed: - Apparently the place can get crowded, but the night we were there was very chill with lots of open tables. The vibe is relaxed and nice. - We started with an order of the meatballs, which an extra one, for the four of us...they were excellent, as was the bread they came with. - Between the four of us, we split two pizzas, the Zucchini Ricotta and the La Del Chef. Both were tasty, and the differences between them made them the perfect combination. - We ordered two different bottles of wine, starting off with a white and then switching to a red. The wine list was really great, with a lot of options and the bottle prices were very affordable. - Service was incredible. In fact, our server asked us if we really wanted the red wine as it might be a little warm, which enabled us to have it chilled a bit until we had finished the bottle of white. I don't know about you, but we've been to even higher end restaurants where the server doesn't have a clue regarding the proper wine temperture...we were really impressed here. Bottom line: Great meal, affordable, cool location, and top notch service...what more can you ask for?

The arancini was really good and had a nice kick to it. The pizza really hit the spot, although the sauce needed some flavor, even if it was just a bit more salt. Nevertheless, it was a solid pizza! They also have a nice beer/wine selection with some local offerings. We arrived for dinner without a reservation and although the restaurant was mostly full, we were able to get a table. They do have bar seating which we would have been happy with as well. It's casual in there, but still elevated. Definitely worth a try if you're craving some pizza!
