Last weekend brought a medley of talented artists to Rustico, but this might’ve been the performance of the night. 🎭🍕🍻

Sometimes the best entertainment isn’t staged, it just happens naturally. Thanks to everyone who spent their Saturday with us. More live music, good food, and unexpected moments coming your way.

05/23/2026

We fully support ordering this “for the table” even if nobody actually shares it.
Our truffle mac & cheese with braised short rib is here for the weekend — rich, hearty, and exactly the kind of food you accidentally keep thinking about later. Come hungry. 🧀🔥

05/21/2026

Weekend specials are on.
The Barbecue Shrimp is smoky, bright, and full of fresh summer flavor with a little char from the grill and just enough citrus to keep everything light and balanced.
And the Hearth Baked Mac & Cheese is pure comfort — rich, creamy, bubbling hot, and finished with a crisp golden crust straight from the hearth.
Available tonight and through the weekend at Rustico.
