What a great place to spend an evening!
Great place, great atmosphere, great food, great waiters! Went there two evenings in a row, so good it was! No need to try a different restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyPhenomenal service
From the moment we walked up to the front door to check out the menu, our experience was fantastic. Derek lured us in with his friendly personality and was one of the best servers we’ve ever had. The food and atmosphere were great, and Derek’s top-notch service made our experience one to never forget!

Be the first to ReplyOne of the worst Pizza's I've ever had
Very Surprised About All the Hullaballo As this is without a doubt One of the worst Pizza's I've ever had. Bland, Tasteless, Crust was awful. The crust was gummy and undercooked, not crispy as is the norm for something to be put into the oven an pulled out that fast. That thing came to the table like 4 minutes after we placed the order. I think my friend asked me how is it ? And I answered. Man, Dominos is starting to look good comparing to this. Not sure if it was an off day or what, but that pizza crust, texture and taste might as well have drawn a pizza on paper with crayons and given it to us. I've passed by many times and never actually came in because there is so many people here all the time. Came in today and boy was I disappointed. This all very odd, because the server seemed world class. So the food being so sub par is beyond shocking.
Be the first to ReplyPleasant, but very average
We (4 of us) sat outside on the very pleasant patio. Tables were nicely spaced and umbrellas and heat lamps were at the ready. The service was upbeat and friendly. The food was perfectly average. The calamari was crisp but tough (overcooked), but the dipping sauce was spicy and delicious. My spouse said the pizza was a super thin crust and okay. My baked rigatoni was so-so. The sauce was thin without any depth, the rigatoni probably store-bought and (maybe I read description wrong) no cheese. The shared crème brûlée tasted good but was grainy. So overall a pleasant but very average meal
Be the first to ReplySit at the bar! It's fun!
Super friendly service, sat at the bar, fantastic food. Limited number of restaurants are open on Tuesdays so get a reservation if you want a table.
Be the first to ReplyPleasant outdoor space, good food, particularly fish preparation .
Pleasant restaurant, nice outside eating area. Staff pleasant, efficient if a bit rushed & rote. All four diners in my party had a fish dish - all the seafood was well prepared. Not a destination restaurant nor a memorable meal, but a good place to go fora nice dinner & conversation with friends. Convenient parking.
Be the first to ReplyPizza wasn’t fresh, service without a smile.
The courtyard is lovely, but was fully booked. I came without a reservation. Inside seating was fine, but the room was a bit dark. I ordered a pizza. The pizza came after about 5 minutes and was lukewarm at best. It was dry and had clearly been baked well before it was served to me. The person at the door was friendly. My server gave perfunctory service, did not smile and was not friendly at all. I was very disappointed and would not return.

Be the first to ReplyCute little cafe
Cafe rustica is a cute little cafe with great ambiance; however I found the food disappointing. The pizza crust was rather odd and not what I would have expected and the chocolate cake either heated in the microwave as usual or left as is had no chocolate flavor and was also disappointing. Luckily I was able to send it back and order the outstanding crème brûlée so I left on a happier note but won’t go back as there are many other better restaurants in Carmel
Be the first to ReplyAmazing food and fantastic customer service
The food was fantastic and only surpassed by the amazing customer service. I can't wait to go back! All recipes were from locally sourced vendors and extremely fresh.
Be the first to ReplyGood food, but service was spotty
I'm glad we made reservations, even for a Sunday night, the place was packed. The food was excellent and we would gladly return. The only negative review is that the service was spotty. We weren't told the nightly special included soup or salad. When another table was told that, we changed our order to the special. we were told the salad was with butter lettuce, but they brought us a salad with red lettuce because they had run out of butter lettuce, but didn't bother telling the customers. The waitress charged us for the salad that should have been included in the price of the nightly special, and we had to get that corrected on the bill. She gave us cash instead of redoing the credit card charge.
Be the first to ReplyDelicious food, friendly staff
This restaurant was terrific! We had delicious food. The staff was very welcoming, friendly & helpful. There was great wine mostly by the bottle; however, there were wonderful options for those of us who drink less. We highly recommend this restaurant!
Be the first to ReplyExcellent
Just a dinner with my hubby. Excellent appetizers. We had calamari and the escargot. We shared an heirloom tomato salad. Tasty. My husband’s had the lamb for entree and I had the duck. Superb. Finished it off with dessert. I had the coconut gelato. My husband the Country Apple Galette. Perfect date night dinner
Be the first to ReplyMy favorite restaurant in Carmel
We celebrated Fathers Day dinner at Cafe Rustica and it was delicious! Our family love fish, and the Alaska Halibut was cooked pefectly! We have been coming here for years, and are never disappointed. Make the trip to Carmel Village for a wonderful meal at Cafe Rustica! Bon Appetite - Heidi
Be the first to ReplyNice meal in a cozy setting
Cafe Rustica is an American/Alsatian restaurant with a comfortable county feel, good food and a nice wine list. Reservations recommended!
Be the first to ReplyWonderful!
Great atmosphere, great food, great service. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The butter lettuce salad and the lamb was just terrific. The butterscotch pudding was a little dense for my taste, but the nice pour of 10-year tawny more than made up for that. Love this place! BTW, skip dinner at Valley Kitchen at Carmel Valley Ranch, so overpriced and mediocre at best.
Be the first to Replyskip their Pizza
used to be excellent. but sadly since the pandemic maybe they lost their best chefs? the pizza crust was like a cold cracker not wood fire-roasted..salad was limp and soggy hard to mess up a salad but they did by not being more conscious..I wont be returning
Be the first to ReplyAmazing Food and Exceptional Service
Cafe Rustica has indoor/outdoor seating with heaters. Ambience was incredible Food was delicious and our waiters were both professional and helpful in choosing dishes and wine. Lots of options on the menu from thin crust pizza, multiple ravioli/pastas and of course fish. All with lots of great flavors! We revisited this restaurant each evening we were in town.

Fantastic meal, great service, good wine list. Pizza should definitely be part of any meal. Highly recommend for causal dinner with high quality food.
Be the first to ReplyFood mediocre at best
Ordered vegetarian pizzas for take-out that were mediocre at best. The veggies had little taste and were soggy, as if they were several days old. Also ordered Caesar salads for $13 each, and they were like a stripped down and very basic dinner salad.
Be the first to ReplyVery good lunch on a very warm day
There were 5 of us for lunch and we had a variety of dishes from sandwiches to salads to the special of the day. The special of the day was sand dabs and I found them to be very fresh and flavorful. Everyone thought the food was well prepared and tasty. The patio seating was quite warm but it was also a very warm day. The service was very friendly and genuine and created a nice vibe. We would return and recommend this restaurant if you happen to be in the area.
Be the first to ReplyGood food and nice atmosphere
We got a table on the covered patio, which was fairly quiet. They had a very good wine list (mostly local wines), by the bottle and by the glass. My wife got the ravioli, which was excellent. I ordered the steak, which was just average. It was supposed to come with gratin potatoes but came with mashed potatoes, which lacked any favor. The staff very good and accommodating
Be the first to ReplyDisappointed Visit
My wife and I went here to celebrate our anniversary. The Caesar salad was good and my wife enjoyed the escargot. For mains, she ordered a pizza which was better than average. I ordered the ribeye, medium, it came out blue rare, not just rare. It went back and my wife finished her pizza before mine was brought back out. The steak was now about 70% the size of the original one. The green beans and potatoes were good but the steak not so much. You would think they would have comped the meal or maybe an appetizer but no. Super bummer, won't be back.
