Family of three driving from Montreal to Cape Cod for a three night four day mini vacation. On the way we punched in pizza in Boston on Google reviews. Rustico came up with a great rating so we stopped by. We were happily greeted by Evan and we asked what he would recommend for three hungry people. He said he knew exactly what we'd enjoy. We sat down and experienced superb tasty pizza 🍕 with the perfect crisp, flavour, and size. The reviews we had read were spot on and we recommend this small pizza store wholeheartedly. Evan's colleague Elaine was making the dough behind the scene with amore. The food is delicious. The place is small with only a couple of tables so it's not a place that sits comfortably but it's more for stopping in, ordering a slice or two, and enjoying the company of two smiling, happy, and friendly people. Loved the whole experience. Thank you Evan and Elaine....Bravo. P.S. there was a Boston Red Sox baseball cap on top of a wall unit and I asked if it was for sale and Evan told me to just take it but I left an amount on the cash register. What a charitable soul he is. Way to go guys!...
Read moreSolid local pizzeria that gets thin crusts right.
Walked by this spot countless times but finally gave it a try after being waitlisted at every North End restaurant nearby. With the North End just across the street, I never felt an urgency to stop in, but glad I finally did.
Most reviews recommended their whole pies, but we weren’t super hungry, so we went with three slices and a Caprese salad. The slices looked like they’d been sitting out for a bit, but there was clearly skill behind the dough. Unfortunately, the toppings were weak (at least for the ones sold as slices). Despite my usual preference for something more loaded, cheese slice ended up being my favorite.
The salad, on the other hand, was a great deal. No protein options by default, and everything was under $10. We added an optional scoop of tonno (slow-roasted pork), and it came in generous portions. Would probably come back for this if I’m...
Read moreDISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS NEIGHBORS Canal St. is quiet on a Sunday night until just after 3 am comes the wheeze of a diesel engine. A garbage truck pulls up next to 4 trash bins slamming them several times. The bang is heard stories up. The truck rattles and beeps for 5-10 minutes. For residents above Rustico, this has become a daily occurrence (except Saturday) between the hours of 2 am-4 am! Imagine trying to sleep after getting woken up night after night between those hours. Although the city of Boston prohibits unreasonable noise in excess of 50 decibels between the hours of 11 pm and 7 am, Rustico continues to break the law after numerous complaints. If a tenant were to make this type of disturbance, they would be evicted! However, businesses are permitted to ignore the law? Rustico, shame on you for being a disrespectful and...
