Cafe Rustica: Delightful Italian Pizza Experience in Basking Ridge

Food with love and flavor. We drove pass this place with our windows down and it smelled so amazing we turned around and decided to have dinner here instead of the place we were headed to. I had the filet miñon and my hubby had the veal parm. Out of this world flavorfull. Our waiter was on point with her recos with food and wine. Service was above par. We will be back!

Nice home-y restaurant that’s kid friendly and reasonably priced. Some of the dishes were overly sauced or cheesed and quite heavy, but portion sizes were generally huge and the kids menu was a great deal.

Celebrated a family birthday here & we all thought everything was amazing. The restuarant has a nice homestyle feel. We had a large group, and the service was awesome & made sure everyone got what they ordered. Delicious Italian food, great portions for the price. Group ordered a variety of plates & it was all delicious. Need to come back for sure to try out more dishes!

The gnocchi seems missing, which I used to like a lot. Eggplant Parm was excellent. Farfalle Teresa was good. The mulled wine was great. All other dishes were very good.

I can’t believe how long I’ve lived here and never tried this place. Had lunch with a friend and the food was excellent. Service was good but it was pretty empty so not sure now they are when it’s crowded. Good portion sizes and nice variety. The almond joy dessert was perfect. Will definitely be back.

A lovely place, good vibes and great menu. We went for lunch, just the girls and had a relaxing, fun time. We were all happy with the menu, and the outdoor sitting. A perfect day. The food was delicious and plentiful. Two of us ordered Cosmos, and they were also perfect. I only wish I knew about this place years ago.

Our family went out for dinner and had a great experience. The staff was very welcoming, courteous and helpful with suggestions. Before I go into details....we would go back to try their other dishes. The complimentary bread was awesome with the dip. Evil way to fill yourself up . For appetizers we ordered bruschetta. Loved the crispiness of the bread and the topping too. I ordered the leek and potato soup. Absolutely my star of the evening. Could have finished the whole cauldron. Don't pass it off. Get at least a bowl. Entrees - we got penne putanesca and eggplant pizza. Pasta was an absolute favorite of all of us. Beautifully made. Loved the eggplant on the pizza. But, m not a fan of pesto sauce. Nevertheless it was awesome! For desserts we got white chocolate mango and coconut tartufu and chocolate amaretto ice cream. The mango and coconut flavors presented themselves gracefully. Overall, we loved the ambience, food and service
