Rustiko

Nice American comfort & drinks 🍸 in a nice location . I have been coming here for years, we always get some pizza, pasta, dessert and plenty of drinks 🍸. Small Hint : The pizza is small and thin. It is delicious but its not filing so we usually get 2 of them. Also, the linguini pasta dish was very small / basic - I would only buy it again with some additions( maybe vegetables ) otherwise its not worth the price.

Excellent service! The staff was extremely welcoming, fast, and attentive from start to finish. The food was delicious! We ordered three small plates, and one of them the Quinotto was simply amazing, very well prepared and full of flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I stopped by Rustiko and ordered the tuna sandwich with fries plus a side of tequeños, and wow, the tequeños completely stole the show. They were perfect with that powdery, melt-in-your-mouth texture I love, and the sauce on the side was just as good.

The food was Good but there are problems either way the quality of service. The man who served me did his job well But the people working there did not do their job right , they were having conversations as if they were at a cafeteria chatting, when I raised my hand the one guys body language was like give me one minute don’t you see that I’m speaking ? 🤣 people had to shout loudly to call the workers cause they were not alert and responsive and people shouting next to you while you’re eating is annoying. I’m from Europe and i can tell you the quality of your service is at minus. I understand that this problem is caused by the obligatory tips which is ridiculous Tips are there if the client is happy and only!!! I don’t own any shares in your business !!!How will the waiter work and give a good service quality if he knows already he will get the tips ? In overall I had a fast food experience and not a restaurants.

Love this place, ate here most evenings. Food was incredible and lots of choice if you are a vegetarian. The spinach and artichoke dip is amazing. Highly recommend

Incredible food, great staff, nice ambiance. Will 100000% be coming back. You must try the artichoke cheese dip!!!

Wow wow wow! The best experience we’ve ever had in a restaurant. DELICIOUS food. The Kale and Roasted Sweet Potato Salad was just incredible. Yummy chocolate milk shake. Excellent customer service from waiter - the best customer service we’ve ever received. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

My kids and I enjoyed our breakfast here. From pancakes and waffles to eggs Benedict, our meal was prepared in timely manner was plentiful and flavorful. Server was polite and friendly as the rest of the team

Food, service, and ambiance were all great. We arrived about 10 minutes late for our reservation but were seated right away. Waiter was super friendly and attentive. Ordered the red sangria for a drink, which was delicious and not too sweet. Goat cheese bites and spinach and artichoke dip for apps. The goat cheese bites were amazing as well as the marinara and pesto sauce it was served with. Spinach artichoke dip was also superb but the chips were not my favorite (not homemade so whatever brand they use just not for me). Was so full from the apps that I opted for the quinoa salad with spinach l? Goat cheese, and beets for my main and it was fantastic with a delicious dressing. My dinner mate got the sea bass piccata for his main and said it was delicious. Would definitely come here again.

They did not write down our reservations however gave us a table. They serve wine and have a corking fee of 25.00 of course. Problem we brought vodka (with no cork, lol) and they "tried to charge the fee for that. I explain thats not correct and was a hassle to get them to remove it. They also had a 5.00 Surfside surchage. We always have dinner at the many Resturant's in Surfside and was never charged that fee. It is at least a very petty and may not be legal. Check your bill here and check at every restaurant many play games.

Awesome experience here. Great food, great service and good ambiance. Some highlights were the fried bread appetizer, the first pizza on the menu (pesto and tomato) and the fried cauliflower. Personally I thought the fig and cheese pizza was too sweet. Fish was good (branzino with purple potatoes) and the papardelle was also great. Creme brulee was a little too burnt and bitter tasting.

Do not go here with children! They welcomed us in, said there was no Kids Menu but they could easily make mac n cheese or plain buttered noodles. We said sure and asked for noodles for both kids. Noodles. Butter. Nothing else. We received the bill and they charged us $21 per child for Noodles and Butter. Shame on us for not asking but shame on them for letting us believe it was kid friendly. We objected to the $42 charge and they eventually brought it down to $15 each. It was Literally a bowl of noodles and NOTHING ELSE! We would never go again and certainly would not recommend it to friends. We just could not believe the experience. Such a shame.

Food is good but they are busy and the service has s very slow. They alway underestimate wait times. The ambiance is good

The only issue I had with this place is I didn't come hungry enough. I just moved to Miami from Los Angeles and there is no comparison for a kosher dairy restaurant. This truly takes the cake. We ordered the spaghetti squash and it was super unique. Tomato sauce, cheese and pesto in a squash w stringy squash noodles. The artichoke dip was amazing and very cheesy. Truffle pizza w mushrooms was so savory and perfect ratio of cheese to sauce without drowning the pizza in truffle. Our table also ordered the cauliflower appetizers. It's a fried Cauliflower with sweet Asian chili sauce. It was so hard to just have one. Great for lunch and business lunches. Will definitely be back!

I ordered thru the phone , we I got there the lady who chante me for a pizza with a very bad mood , she didn't say hello anything .. she was so rude and also charge me a tip for what? I didn't get it ..she had very bad actitude ! Not coming again !

Eggplant Goat cheese Branzino 3 great dishes, I haven't tasted them all yet however I'm looking forward to tasting them

Upon entering the restaurant we were transported to a rustic and woodsy atmosphere. A glass of Merlot was poured for my friend while I went with Chenin Blanc to pair with our cheese filled meal. We started our journey with the beat gnocchi. Their light fluffy texture in a white creamy cheese sauce was delicate and delicious. Continuing onward, we tried the smoked caprese pizza. Fresh tomatoes were cut on the pizza in addition to a sweet tangy sauce coupled with a hint of rosemary atop fresh Mozzarella, the flavor just bursts in your mouth. Some of the best pizza I've had to date. Finally, we ended our journey with the pappardelle truffle. Which was decadent, creamy and delicious. Although there was a good amount of Parmesan cheese it did not over power the flavor of the truffle and mushroom. The service was friendly and the place was busy (even though it was a Monday night). Overall this is an amazing restaurant and I highly recommend visiting. I cannot wait to go back!

We were a party of 3. 40 minutes go by. One person's entree comes out. Another 15 minutes, the second person's entree comes out. 15 minutes after that -- the third person finally gets their entree, the first person is long finished with their meal by now. Pastas were mediocre, small portions, and wildly overpriced. Wait staff was short and inattentive. If you're looking for kosher food in this area, you can do so much better than Rustiko.

One of my wife's and my Ultimate favorite kosher restaurants! Would recommend it over and over again.

While visiting Miami Beach, I had driven by this spot several times and noticed it was always full (full for a restaurant during COVID). My husband and I took a very brief peek at the menu and decided to give it a try. One thing we didn't look for on the menu... meat. We didn't realize Rustiko is a pescatarian restaurant, and centralized among restaurants with Kosher listed on all menus. Not a negative - just something to note. We ordered the Goat Cheese Bites (phenomenal), Salmon on Crosta (good flavor), and Pumpkin Ravioli (VERY sweet). Overall the food was good, service was great. Wine list was rather short, but I believe it had to do with Kosher requirements? I'm not knowledgeable in that area, so it's just a guess. This is a great spot for anyone okay with meat not being on the menu! I would definitely visit again.

I thought yeshiva week was over?! Lol Great to see a restaurant packed to the gills with locals and tourists alike! Space is very pretty and welcoming. Staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and may need some further training to handle customer inquiries and communicating with the kitchen a bit better... Regardless, the food was top notch and everything came out piping hot or cold as needed! Their artichoke dip is filled with generous bite size chunks of fresh artichoke hearts and nestled in beautiful luscious cheese! Their fish and chips (though we swapped out for the pear salad instead) was deliciously fried and had no trace of frozen fishynes. The truffle mushroom pizza could have used a bit more of truffle flavor but the pizza itself was beautifully charred. Their caprese salad was lightly dressed in a delicious balsamic dressing and my lunch partner said the salmon was seared as she liked it in her salad too. I'm not a fan eating milchig out but I would definitely come back here ! Added bonus, if you call a day ahead they are more than willing to accommodate any gluten dietary restriction you may have as well!

While on a getaway in surfside we came across this restaurant for lunch. The service was quick and the food was delicious and we would totally return! We recommend the french toast and the smoothie was really good.

great food! i ordered the carrot gnocchi and it tasted fantastic. my partner ordered a caprese pizza with tomatoes and it was pretty good. wasn't very packed at all as we went on a tuesday night around 830 pm. the service was fine but could use some touching up. food didn't really take long at all though which a big plus for me. ambience could also use a little extra in regards to the music and mood. the decor was great though. i would return.

I've had better kosher food. Chips were stale. Soup was basically hot water. Don't waste your money.

Horrible service. Unbelievable. We are in North Miami Beach and placed a nice size order for delivery. $15.00 delivery charge, no problem. Food was supposed to deliver at 2:04 pm. At 2:32 we called to see what was the status of the delivery. We were told that they will not be delivering because it was too far. Too Far ?!?! They took the order, charged our credit card, and then didn't deliver the food. No apology, no remorse. Horrible Customer service. That's not how you treat a customer. They simply don't care about how they treat people. I am livid

Cutest ambiance & sweet staff ! Great kosher Italian food && Best truffle pizza in town.

We ordered eggs Benedict. They were served cold. The restaurant claimed to be rustic. The only bread they have is egg challah. The coffee was so watery it wasn't worth drinking. They automatically add 18% tip and then suggest you add more. There has to be better breakfast restaurants in Miami.

Was there like a dozen times when I was in Surfside during the summer. Everything I had was delicious. The staff was always welcoming and even learned which table my child prefers. The food was incredible, I think I must have tried everything. Ah. I want some tuna pizza right now. It can get quite busy, so I tried to get there as early as possible.

Overpriced food and terrible service. The food is acceptable but the workers are rude and impatient.

Adorable small restaurant with inside and outside seating. Delicious tea with fresh mint. My shakshuka was fantastic - I had never had it before and will definitely go back to have it again. My husband said his lox on a bagel was fine but nothing special. No meat on the menu if that's important to you. Overall very good and would go back.

COVID didn't change this amazing experience. So attentive from the moment I arrived. I was seated by friendly staff and was told about the specials and advised on Some their favorite dishes. It was so darn delicious it was sheer pleasure to dine here. The food was so flavorful I can't seem to find the words. Just go eat there and you'll agree.

The ambience and service was nice, but the food was wildly overpriced. Why did I pay $60 for a glass of wine and a salad with grilled salmon? Search me. And the onion soup was a bowl of shredded onions in some bland broth. I would strike that from the menu and re-think the soups.

I got the French toast and a nice hot latte with some sparkling water. The French toast was absolutely delicious. The latte was to perfection. I highly recommend coming here and trying the French toast I definitely will come back again and try something else off the menu. It's a really nice small location with some outside seating.

This great italian restaurant is only a 20 minute cab ride from south beach Miami. The decor is stunning, a mix of chic, rustic, and home. Lots of options for dinner so everyone will have something they will love to try. We got tequenos, pappardelle mushrooms, pumpkin ravioli, and the smoked caprese pizza with added mushrooms. We thought the tequenos would be more like mozzarella sticks, but the breading was more like hard dough. The cheese was food but the bread around it was flavorless and hardened quickly. It also came with a mustard sauce which didnt taste good with it at all. The reason I took a star off is because we asked three different servers for a different sauce, and none of them spoke english well enough to understand and it was hard to communicate with them. The pappardelle was creamy and delicious, yet not heavy. The pumpkin ravioli must be tried! It is a explosion of unbelievable flavor of cinnamon and heaven. The pizza was my favorite. The pesto was the star of the show. So flavorful and fresh. If you dont eat here, you will miss out.

And our last Rustiko breakfast! There is no butter for breakfast in the morning! The waiter gave us margarine lying that it was butter. At these prices, there should be butter, decent bread, a good cup of coffee, and honest staff. All are absent at Rustiko. Sid

This place has top notch food and great service! It is the only dairy kosher restaurant I go to when I visit Florida and I will drive as far as I have to to get there. I literally love everything but my favorites are the crispy cauliflower (order 2 because it is that good), the spaghetti squash is so big and filling , the branzino is delicious with the best white wine lemon sauce and fingerling potatoes. Trust me it should be number one on your list of restaurants.

The food was very good and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting surfside! The food was delicious and came quickly.. it just took us a bit of time to get the bill but overall pretty impressed!

Great spot for a quick lunch, the service was very fast the pizza was a little bit undercooked in my liking but overall they did a great job and re-cooked the pizza for me which I really appreciated. I definitely will come here again in the future for a quick grab and go

I live near Surfside and I've always been curious in trying this place out. It has a very welcoming "at home" vibe when you're there and authentic-delicious food! Me and boyfriend appreciated the friendly and attentive service the staff provided. The only reason why I'm not rating the restaurant 5 stars is because i thought the food was too oily... We ordered the spaghetti squash that was amazing and Gouda caprese pizza which was cooked to perfection but the amount of oil drizzled on BOTH was too overwhelming... I'd definitely go back but now I know to ask them not to add any extra oil!

I'm new to this side of town- my friend from NY was visiting me and she decided to try this place out with me. The place is decorated super cute but I honestly wasn't 100% impressed with the food or the service. I moved from South Beach to north beach and this restaurant still has South Beach prices. A glass Israeli wine was $16 that's seriously ridiculously expensive; I've had the same wine in Israel for like $5! However, I did like the mixture that it was a Venezuelan/ Israeli style restaurant. Overall, I'll probably come back a brunch and give it a second chance.

The worst food and service i have ever had in miami. Salad was not fresh. Service incredibly slow and did not check in to see how we were doing or bring things asked for the meal. Disappointed to say the least.

Found a hair in my salad. You will overpay because it's kosher. Others ordered pizza, pretty standard but can't beat Moncheese.

I have to put a review after the bad experience we had, We came all the way from Fort Lauderdale to this restaurant ,we ordered the appetizers and the way we were ready to order the main course the server Eddie told us that the kitchen is closed already (this was 10:25) and he was very rude and very disrespectful, we had a hair inside the quinoto dish and he was arguing about it. Bottom line, We never had such a bad experience like this before . It was also really humiliating! The funny thing is that he really didn't try to solve the problem The funny thing is that he really didn't try to solve the problem he was ready to go home already and get rid of the customer this is what I felt.

I went there again last night with my wife. What a great experience. This is the only dairy restaurant I choose to go to for dinner. In fact my family can't even believe I'm willing to go out for dairy. Don't miss spinach artichoke dip. Also the Bronzino and squash soup were out of this world. Thank you Avarham and family for your dedication to great service and food. Most of all for being pillars of our community.

Amazing food sea bass was buttery and just perfect. Service a little slow. I could see the waitresses talking and being on their phone and totally not paying attention. I'm not too happy about the automatic 18%gratuity automatically added specially when we didn't get a great service. I'm not sure if I would go back even if the food was good. $120 for 2 people for 2 wines one shared appetizer and 2 main courses.

Great restaurant very busy. Pizza with truffle is amazing ! Pasta are awesome ! Wine is delicious ! We will come back.

Never leave reviews but this was the worst restaurant I've ever been to so felt like I had to say something. Walked in randomly for breakfast with my mom, terrible service, terrible food, terrible coffee etc but the real kicker was that my mom found a big shard of plastic in her shakshuka, which is not only dangerous but incredibly gross. Do yourself a favour and go anywhere else.

Great new restaurant in Surfside! had a business lunch here earlier with 3 lovely powerful women who have aesthetic and advocates for keeping Miami Beautiful..oh and about the food here thumbs up, the flavors and freshness are spot on and since we are vegetarians a perfect eatery from this kosher dairy place. Rustiko is new and we look forward to coming back very soon!

Fist off I'd like to start with our waitress who was phenomenal! I wish I got her name. She was so helpful patient and kind. She gave us suggestions and helped modify things to our taste. As for the food it was delicious. Loved the arugula salad with pear and I added the sweet dressing. Went very nice. Also had beet gnocchi which was very yummy.

Made an 830 reservation I'm still standing outside and a time and I don't know when they're going to seat me 90 degrees outside

Excellent restaurant : bit pricey but expect very delicate food : pasta pizza fish and very good pastries Service is great Coming back soon for sure

Great interior with comfortable seating , clean restroom Interesting decor Rally good food and clean dishes :) Great looking but overpriced desserts Love the blue couches in the middle fantastic touch A little slow on food delivery but manageable Should offer great or complimentary snack What we didn't liked at all was the sad slave like attitude of all the servers and hostesses They all look tired sad and like have been worked in coal mines for ages Either the owners can't motivate or overworks the stuff or it's just really crappy work attitude

They accomodated us even tho they were packed. Food came out fast and (mostly) in order. Some apps came really late in the meal. So we had to take em home. Food was very good. The pasta and risotto were AMAZING. They ve run out of pizza , so we couldn't try. (Day after the Passover, so its understandable). Nice , solid 4*. Would def return and try some more!

Beautiful restaurant with great atmosphere. I had the spaghetti squash and it was absolutely delicious! Also the service was efficient and kind. Great spot for date night. (Picture taken after I took a bite. Couldn't help it lol.)

One of the best kosher brunch spots in the area. The kosher chocolate cheesecake and the fruity smoothies here are the bomb!! Friendly and quick service.

Delicious place. There is a wide variety of healthy and not so healthy options, so everyone can find something to eat.

I found the pizza too greasy, also the hamburger my son ordered made out of mushroom was greasy. The teas are not teas but frozen drinks. Not my style of food. Besides they over charge, the vegetarian hamburger 27$! I ended paying 100 $ with tip for a salad, pizza, hamburger and a frozen tea.

Unbelievably delicious food. Every dish had exceptional flavor and I couldn't recommend Rustiko more. I highly suggest the goat cheese balls and risotto. This restaurant could do no wrong.
