This is an amazing restaurant and bar in downtown Arlington. They have a full menu of American style food to choose from and a long list of draft and bottled beers. There is outside patio seating available which makes it handicap friendly. It is centrally located within walking distance from most major hotels in the area.

It’s a great spot for pizza, salads and burgers. The beer selection is great. Food in general was good to great. Love the location.

I went for a beer during happy hour. It was not very busy. Still took forever to get served at bar. There were only two other customers. Beer was more expensive than most places. So, I left after one beer and went across street. Not sure I will be back.

Food was good. The pizza crust and sauce is Italian style (thin, light), and we got the Butchers Special which comes with all the meat. There were a lot of toppings, including cheese (which we loved), and those toppings were high quality. Salami was really good. The seafood linguine was also good, and the quality of shrimp was great. We were not huge fans of the spinach and artichoke dip, which was very milky. It didn't have much spinach, artichoke, or cheese, so there wasn't too much flavor. We had a reservation for 8:45pm, and they closed at 10pm. They did last call for food at 9pm, so we felt a bit rushed. We had to order our dessert at the same time as our entrees, and I think they made them at the same time because by the time they brought the hot dessert to our table, it was room temperature, including the cast iron skillet it was cooked in.

Everything here was just ok. We ordered two pizzas and both were just alright, they were thin crust and each one was personal sized. Also ordered the penne with vodka sauce and it was definitely over priced. The service was very slow especially because we came here on a Wednesday and it wasn't super packed.

Tried this place for the first time after being in the area for awhile. I was hesitant because I had seen some bad reviews online. Overall the food was pretty good. I got bolognese and my partner got white pizza with sausage. We both liked our meal. We also tried the risotto tots and they were decent. The service was great and I liked most of the food we tried. The only thing I didn’t like was I ordered the lemon doughnuts to go and they weren’t lemon at all! They were simple doughnut balls covered in sugar - no lemon flavor or filling at all! Not sure why they are labeled as lemon. I was so very disappointed by the doughnuts, don’t get them!

We visited late night and they still served well and were welcoming. The pizza was good. Loved the ambience and the pizza.

I ordered the spicy wing and SGT Pizza. The wings are amazing and the pizza was exactly what I was looking for. This establishment has outside seating that is dog friendly and a happy hour discount. Great happy hour spot!

Went here on a Friday for an early dinner. Happy our pricing was good. I’m from the Midwest so critical of any pizza. Overall a good thin crust slice. Apps were delicious. Nice selection of ciders and beer. I appreciate the causal vibe.

Dined in on a Friday night, plenty of tables available and were seated immediately! We sat in the dining section, the lighting was a bit too dark for our liking but overall the atmosphere was fine. We started off with two appetizers, the spinach artichoke dip and the baked feta dip. The baked feta dip is TO DIE FOR. It was amazing!! Highly highly recommend that dip. The spinach artichoke dip however, was more of a queso, not your typical spinach artichoke dip that you think of. Not my favorite. For mains we got rigatoni bolognese, penne vodka, and the gnocci. My favorite was the penne vodka! They were all tasty though. Service was good, and they give you big glasses of water which was nice because we didn’t need constant refills. Overall definitely recommend, next time I’ll try the pizza!

The food and ambiance of this place is quite incredible. It’s warm and cozy and they even have tvs all around the bar so you can watch the games from the high tops. Their risotto tater tots are to die for and don’t even get me started on the pizza… 10/10.

The food at Rustico is good - not great, not outstanding, but good, homey food. The service was a bit of a problem the other night. Our appetizers and drinks came out quickly - followed in about three minutes by our entrees. We had barely picked up our forks to start on our appetizers when the entrees hit the table. Whatever happened to the concept of a leisurely dinner? My wife and I both had pasta dishes which, as I said, were good. We had last eaten at Rustico about 4 years ago and both remembered it as being much better than it was the other night. Maybe it is just that there are so many more choices of high quality restaurants available now than even a few years ago, that Rustico has simply not kept up.
