Rustico — Restaurant in Tel-Aviv

September 2023 (3 stars): This known establishment lost its glory for me, mainly because of the high prices versus the small size of the dishes. Asking for 71 to 92 NIS for a small sized gnocchi or pasta, that leaves you hungry, no matter how tasty it is - is greediness. Rustico used to be called a trattoria, but with these prices - not any more. I was left with a feeling I've been robbed. There are many alternative great new pasta restaurants in TLV. Previous review - December 2019 (4 stars): One of the finest Italian restaurants in TLV. Dishes are very accurate and tasty. Lately there are some issues with the service. We came on a rainy morning and the restaurant was only partially filled. Still, waitress came to take the order only after 10 minutes and the breakfast arrived more than 15 minutes later. Another example: the waitress said that on the first breakfast there's only one drink, but according to the menu she was wrong. Last thing: I asked for a tea and was told that they have Jasmin, English Breakfast or Earl Grey. I chose the latter but received English Breakfast nonetheless. The waitress said this is all they got. So the waitresses knowledge is something to attend to, but the quality of the food is the finest and the...

Fantastic food, very prompt preparation of food and acceptable service.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Calabria pizza which features tomatoes, mozzarella, salami, roasted peppers, chili and oregano. The combination was perfect.

You could taste each of the ingredients which means they must be very fresh and very high quality.

The sauce was a perfect complement and I am very picky about sauces overpowering the other flavors.

Colleagues selected the Margherita pizza, Seafood Linguini featuring shrimps, calamari, mussels in butter, garlic and white wine. All are very critical of food quality and all had nothing but compliments.

This is a must visit in Tel Aviv. Reservations are accepted. Press 2 on the phone...

Rustico is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Tel-Aviv. Rustico is not the best Italian restaurant you'll ever visit, however it is exactly as it should be - simple, good, tasty and consistent.

Consistency with Rustico is their biggest strength. I've been going to both Rustico Basel and Rothschild locations for more than 5 years, largely ordering my same favorite dishes - and they were consistently good.

The restaurant is spacious, nicely designed, and overall a great venue for family dinners or events.

I would recommend that you arrive to the Basel area either by taxi or by foot. Driving and parking in that area is...
