Reviews for Rustica Fresh Italian Kitchen in Santa Fe, NM

Such a nice new restaurant on the southside, away from the crowds of downtown. Really great food and service. The place is very... clean and spacious and the prices are affordable. Read more

Superb dinner. We?ve taken our out of town guests there several times too. One of three places that plays mellow jazz in the... background (my personal favorite). Can?t go wrong with any entree. The appetizers are all great too. We?ve met and know the waitstaff, share a common small town history. Pricey, maybe, but well worth it. We supported them in hard Covid19 times since theyopened up where an old Outback used to be. They pick up the overflow when the Ranch House is too danged busy. We often skip theRanch House and go *straight* to Rustica! Read more

The food was very delicious. I had the eggplant and goat cheese ravioli with a red sauce that was to die for. My spouse had the... chicken Parmesan that, although the coating was a little burnt, was still very delicious. They also have a very nice patio foroutside dining. Only thing I did not like was the service was painfully slow; we ended up having to pay on the way out becauseour server never came back with the check. Read more

Excellent all around! Our family felt very welcomed! Our waiter Chris was knowledgeable about the menu options and seemed... genuinely happy to help us navigate the menu. Each Appetizer, main, dessert and beverage we had was perfection. Look forward togoing there again! Read more

Very tasty Italian food. The drinks were very nice. The Limoncello margarita was refreshing and not over sweet. The bolognese... pasta was amazing. Pepperoni pizza was great too. Read more

Decent, fairly broad menu. New restaurant, table, booths, large party table, bar, and outside seating. Interior nice but feels... ever so slighlty 'chain restaurant'. Service brisk and polite. Pizza was good but could be great. Crust had a bit too much oilon it and the type of pepperoni could be better. Chicken parm was a good portion size, slightly over salted. Recommend giving atry.

One of my favorite restaurants in Santa Fe! A little drive from downtown but I highly recommend driving out. Tonight we got... there a little early (6-ish) and there was plenty of seating but by the time we left it got quite busy. Their pizzas are about10 inches and quite small but their apps are perfect for sharing with the table. Read more

The ambiance was beautiful, the restaurant feels like an upscale place without the upscale price tag. The entrees were delicious... and generous. The service was slow, even if they weren't super busy on a Wednesday night, but it's a pretty new restaurant andeveryone's having trouble finding staff so I'll give them a pass. A long list of delicious Italian wines and draft beers.Overall a very much needed addition in the Southside of Santa Fe, local, and will go back. Read more
