Trattoria Rustica

I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while, we’ve been in to dine several times and everything has been incredible each time! The restaurant is owned & operated by Angela & Luigi, a couple from Italy so the food is super authentic, we’ve gotten to know them over the last couple visits. Service is incredible, they’ve remembered us each time that we’ve come in, we always feel so welcome, the food is always so fresh and flavorful & prepared to perfection! I love their wine list & my boyfriend loves that they have peroni on draft! They’re located in a shopping center, the outside is very unassuming but they have created such a cozy atmosphere inside, a true hidden gem! If you’re looking for authentic Italian food in Henderson you need to stop by!

Trattoria promises an unforgettable Italian dining experience that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palates with its authentic flavors. The eggplant parmigiana stands out as a true masterpiece, showcasing a harmonious blend of textures and a deeply flavorful sauce that will leave you craving more. Their calzone is a generous delight, overflowing with savory goodness that will tantalize your taste buds in every bite. The pizza is a timeless classic, featuring a perfectly crisp crust and an ideal balance of toppings that is hard to resist. And don’t miss out on their fettuccine Alfredo, which is luxuriously creamy, providing pure comfort in each mouthful. If you’re in search of hearty and delicious Italian cuisine, Trattoria is an absolute must-visit!

I’ve been coming to Trattoria Rústica for years, and the food is always exceptional. It has a great family-style atmosphere and consistently excellent service, with staff who go above and beyond to accommodate guests. Everything is made fresh, and the lobster ravioli is a must-try. Their bread is also top-notch. A definite must-visit if you’re in the Henderson area.

AUTHENTIC! You walk in and immediately feel at home and hungry, lol. We were greeted as soon as we walked in by several people including some cooks. While we ate we could hear everyone in the cooking area speaking Italian and I LOVED that. I the fresh hand made pasta of the day and so flipping good. My husband did pizza and the crust !🤤 Fresh bread too!

My son and I went in for a late lunch after a hockey game. He wanted pizza and I talked him out of Dominos since I wanted some quality food and this small Italian restaurant certainly meets that expectation. We loved the place, the food, the waitress, the cappuccino, and best of all, the gelato at the end, which was freshly made locally in the store. I wish I took a picture of it but didn’t last long enough!

Great service, authentic food. Wonderful mom and pop Italian in Henderson. Lovely couple who run the place! We had a pizza (can’t remember which) the dough was definitely home made and pulled. The eggplant parmigiana, caprese salad and carbonara were spot on!

The seafood soup was tasteful, just could use more broth in it & maybe some fresh on top to ganish since all you see is shell & some red broth. The Shrimp were nice size but was was difficult was that I had this meal sent door dash express $$ and the driver stopped at a Starbucks before dropping off to me. I had to eat my meal with a clam shell because I was given NO SILVERWARE NOR NAPKINS. I was not home, in a public location & wanted a nice hot meal at my location there was no access to silverware or napkins. So you can imagine my disappointment. My bread was sorda rough. Extra extra garlicky but sadly the knots were rubbery. My salad I am NOT going to attempt to eat here because the mozzarella was a lump not sliced. So I would need something to cut it. Looked good but can't eat it til head home. Darnit! But looks & smells really good *garlic. But probably will not order door dash from here again.

A very good, small family owned restaurant. (Love that they actually speak Italian while preparing the food) near the Hobby Lobby. The Cioppino was how I remembered it from when I was younger… pasta is not needed (but can be added) for this amazing seafood stew. The portions are big & taste freshly made. Wine and beer both are served.

Stumbled into this restaurant because the place we intended to go was closed (and sketchy) It was the best thing we did this month From the cozy decor to the delicious food, everything wss perfect. If I had to nitpic, I would say the rolls were cooked slightly too long but they were still awesome. Meatball pizza, butternut squash ravioli, eggplant Parmesan and lava cake made the three of us happy! Definitely glad I found this place.

My updated review is for the food and food only. Service was good but somehow the food is simply not as good as it was before and I'm guessing the management or chef or someone changed here because my spaghetti and meatball was SO bland. There were no more Italian people speaking to each other and that authentic feel has left this establishment :(. Unfortunately it felt like it was such a waste $ eating here as I felt like I could've easily made better food at home :/. I don't think I'll be back.

A local spot in Henderson, this place hits on all points. We have been wanting to try this place for a while and took full advantage when this opportunity came about. The place is tiny but the service is great with the one server, I think one of the owners. The menu is large for sure. We chose a fettuccine shrimp scampi and an eggplant parmigiana dish. They started the meal with their dipping knots served hot with the balsamic dipping sauce. Delicious. The timing for the meal was great as we didn't feel rushed. When the meal arrived we were not disappointed. Both dishes were plentiful and delicious. 10/10. We saved room for dessert as we took home a portion of our meals. The dessert, house made pistachio and salted caramel gelato, both flavors were fantastic. They complemented each other and had an amazing texture. Definitely recommend for a mom and pop authentic Italian meal.

What a great hidden gem in Henderson! We went as a group for my moms birthday and they were so accommodating. Food was fresh and great! So many handmade items and perfect flavor. The portions were just right and even the pizzas were top notch. I highly recommend for a family dinner or a date night. Support local!!!

Found this little cozy Italian restaurant when I was visiting my mother and aunt. We wanted Italian and this restaurant had good reviews. It is a cute, small restaurant and our server was very nice. She noted that they just started serving Sunday dinners. It was pretty steady and she was by herself. She let us know that she will do her best to get us things in a timely manner. We ordered the following: Cesar salad Italian salad Lasagna Cioppino The only issue was that the lasagna wasn't temperature hot. It was very tasty but it should have been warmer. We were pretty hungry so my mom didn't want to say anything. Other than that, our meal was good. I would certainly return. Again, we had a small hiccup but the food was tasty.

We wanted to do a small Valentine's dinner, and we wanted it to be pasta/Italian. I had a doctor's appointment late that day, so I just wanted to go to place close to home that I could have some good food. Walking in, the space is a bit tight, but I knew that would be the case because this restaurant sits in the remains of the pizza shop that I had my first Las Vegas meal at (well, the first one after moving into my very first apartment about 2 decades ago). Who knew that the slice I had while waiting for something at Washinton Mutual (two doors down, that became a Chase and is now shuttered) would become one of my new favorite restaurants? Well, it's tight, but it's well situated and nicely decorated. The vibe is super cozy and comfortable. I loved how comfortable the chairs are. The tables are also nice and big, making it easy for sharing plates. It was busy, so we had to wait a bit to be seated for our reservation, but I didn't mind. The service here is incredible. The servers all care and we had a lovely time. I really enjoyed the conversations I had with everyone that spoke with us. Now, to the most important part, the food. Hot d@mn! This place has good food, with great portions. We had the caprese, which was fresh and lovely. The calamari were crispy and perfectly seasoned. Both of our pastas were incredible and heated well for leftovers. And the desserts? Get out of here, the chocolate mousse cake was to die for. We were told that because they're so small, reservations should be made on weekends, but weekdays should be easy to walk in. Absolutely coming back!!!

Incredible food. Unassuming storefront with the best food and service. Don't miss this restaurant. Incredible homemade bread and sauces. Delicious.

Wow wow wow! I'm obsessed w the Caesar salad, dressing is so addicting, not mayo-ey, vinegar base of some kind is my guess, yum! Mozzarella sticks on point, the cheese was melted and stretched! Most places the cheese isn't even melted enough. Most importantly tho, the PIZZA!!! Did I finally find a good no GREAT pizza place?? Last but not least they have Gelato!! I'll be back, I see myself here atleast twice a month! Wine is priced affordable as well. Staff is on point and friendly. Love love love

Our first time here was on Christmas Eve, after church. The interior was small, but cozy. All the staffs were very friendly. My husband loved their complimentary pizza bread for the flavor & freshness. We had the trio seafood appetizer, which was delicious with shrimp, calamari & zucchini. My son had the kids spaghetti with meatballs. Unfortunately, the meatballs were still red in the center. We sent it back for food safety reasons. While the noodles were al dente, but the meatballs wasn't tasty - lacked herbs (onion or garlic). I had the chicken pistachio with asparagus - tasty, but my chicken was a bit dry. My hubby had the pasta rigatoni with Ragu & red sauce - he liked his entree. To be honest, this review is 3.5 stars, rounded up to four stars. The service was extremely SLOW!! It literally took half an hour for our entrees to come out; and the restaurant was only filled at 50 percent capacity. I was a little annoyed; especially when the table that came in after us got their food first. There was only one server that night - understaffed.

Absolutely deliciously, delectable food that feels like you're eating in an Italian grandma's home but in a wonderful upscale way. A family runs the place. One of the owners greeted us and was so warm and welcoming when we came in. We had the regular knots they serve, garlic knots and truffle fries for appetizers. They were all delicious. For entrees, we had rigatoni and meatballs, fettuccine Alfredo and spaghetti carbonara with guanciale. Everything was excellent but the spaghetti carbonara stole the show. It was indescribably good. Ambiance, service and food were all amazing. The food is made fresh with authentic ingredients. It takes time. Order a glass of wine and an appetizer. I definitely recommend Trattoria Rustica and will definitely be back. This should a weekly dining experience.

A very good, small family owned restaurant. (Love that they actually speak Italian while preparing the food) near the Hobby Lobby. The Cioppino was how I remembered it from when I was younger... pasta is not needed (but can be added) for this amazing seafood stew. The portions are big & taste freshly made.

As authentic as it gets! Trattoria Rustica is hands-down one of the most authentic Italian experiences you can find. The lobster ravioli and the cavatelli with scallops are absolutely incredible -- fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The pistachio martini is a delightful surprise, creamy and nutty without being too sweet. What really sets this place apart is the owner, who also happens to be the head chef. You can tell he cooks with passion and creativity -- one time he made a seasonal pasta featuring butternut squash sauce with pistachio crumbles, and it was out of this world. The pizza here is also top-notch, totally comparable to Settebello quality. Amanda is a fantastic server -- warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They also have excellent deals on bottles of red wine, which makes the whole experience even better. Trattoria Rustica is everything you want in a neighborhood Italian spot: homely, comfortable, and always fresh. Cannot recommend it enough!

We were in the area shopping and wanted meet friends for an informal dinner and conversation. Based on the Yelp reviews, Trattoria Rustica seemed like it would be perfect. Walking in, we were warmly greeted by Angela, one of the owners (her husband, the chef, was busy in the kitchen). Angela came by to get our drink orders. They have Goose Island IPA! A major plus in my book. I went with the Risotto Norcina ($31.15). Huge portion of delicious risotto with a mild cream sauce and tons of sausage and mushrooms. FABULOUS DISH!!! My wife got the stuffed shells special. Comes with a meat sauce. Also good. And too large a portion to finish in one sitting. Service was excellent with Angela coming by multiple times to make sure everything was going well. Only gripe - They add 4% on to the price of every dish if you pay with a credit card. Don't get me wrong - they have to pay Visa 4% when someone uses a card to pay for dinner. They should just let you know that up front that there is that additional charge coming ahead of time. Is that a deal breaker - absolutely not. I will definitely be back when I am in the area to try one of the other dishes (and maybe I will bring cash to pay for the meal).

Our family is visiting for rodeo events and wanted some good Italian without the crowds, found TR on yelp and this place did not disappoint! Started with bruschetta , and Italian salad. We ordered a pizza, shrimp Alfredo, chicken Parmesan and spaghetti and meatballs at our table, and it was all delicious . We had great service, it was a cozy , warm feeling atmosphere. The chef is cooking up front in view and adds the charm. I was full so I got a piece of tiramisu to go, and it was the best!!!

I've ordered food from here twice now, both for pickup...I've never dined in but there are always people eating in. And it looks super cute and intimate. The mushroom ravioli is amazing!! Vodka penne is a little bland, but not bad. Caprese salad, seems to be changed and it was way better before. Not enough balsamic and not enough basil.

Incredible pizza! Perhaps a bit pricier than chains, but crust dough is made onsite and ingredients are fresh!

Back again and not disappointed: salmon with lemon sauce. Perfect and tasty. The bread just came out of the oven

Dropped in for a takeout order on May 29th around 7pm Review #17 of 2024 Returning to this trattoria for a second time was a pleasure. It was heartening to see the place bustling with customers, a testament to the deliciousness and quality of their pizza. 18" pizza for takeaway, we were pleasantly surprised when our order was ready in less than 15 minutes. We requested chili pepper flakes and Parmesan as accompaniments and were delighted to find the pizza still piping hot when we arrived home. Whether you're looking to dine in or grab a takeaway, I would highly recommend this place if you find yourself in the area.

Came here while on vacation to Las Vegas. Service was great, they were so friendly and welcoming. The food, fresh ingredients and the pasta was chefs kiss. We got the caprese, which was plentiful and so refreshing. The margherita pizza was okay, but you could tell the ingredients they use wasn't junk. We also got the Alfredo with chicken and that was sooo good. I definitely added more cheese. But overall I'd definitely come back if I came back to Vegas!

I tried the Spaghetti Del Aglio Olio from here. While the amount was good. The price isn't to bad. My main issue is the Garlic they use. Now, I love Garlic in most things but there is a limit. The Garlic was so strong it reeked from my pores two days later plus my mouth burned into the next day. Not saying I wouldn't try again but I did find another place that makes the dish to perfection.

Absolutely delicious food at this small but fantastic restaurant. I had eggplant parm which was perfect The sauce has a touch of sweetness and is so good. My sister has cannelloni with ricotta and spinach and was likely the best cannelloni I've ever had. We shared a caprese salad which was yummy, despite the fact that we ordered a green salad. But it was delish! Our meals were super and this is one place that is a MUST when I v

Great food and fabulous service! We are visiting Henderson and used Yelp to find a place to eat. It did not disappoint!

A very very hidden gem! This place is the definition of 'hole in the wall' -- located on a strip mall next to target. The space is cozy and the staff is friendly and attentive. The food is superb! Plentiful portions (which made me happy since I would have left overs for the next day ) Prices were fairly reasonable. Do not skip the meatballs-- they were a good size and absolutely delicious. I cant say the same for the chicken though; they kinda skimped out on my dish. Will definitely go back and order meatballs for my pasta instead of the grilled chicken.

Ordered the baked gnocchi. Unfortunately mine was tough and the sauce was rather plain. The mozzarella and basil saved it. I am so sorry for my experience, it was listed as a popular item. If someone could recommend something else on the menu I'll try this place again. The price was quite steep. Thanks!

On my never ending quest to try to restaurants, I stumbled upon Trattoria Rustica located in Henderson. It is inside a busy shopping center next to a Target and Ross. Upon walking in, you are greeted with a small cozy space with about a dozen tables. To the left, is an open kitchen. The menu is sizable and has options ranging from pastas, pizzas, and other Italian dishes. Food The menu had a lot of options that I wanted to try. I eventually decided on the Gnocchi with the pesto/Gorgonzola sauce and I added a meatball just to try. Let me tell you, this dish was INCREDIBLE. Definitely one of the best things I have eaten in my life. The rest of my party ordered spaghetti and meatball, penne vodka, and Carbonara. All were good, but nothing compared to the gnocchi. They also served knots and butter. 5/5 Service The restaurant was very full for the night, so I expected the service to take a little longer. Our food came out rather quickly, but we had to request refills on water a few times. It was good, not great. 3.5/5 Ambiance I really liked the feel of the restaurant. It felt like an Italian restaurant without overdoing the aesthetic. The open kitchen is a nice touch and allows you to watch things prepared. 4/5 There are a lot of great Italian restaurants in the valley and specifically in Henderson. I find something I like at all of them, but I'm not sure I've had anything as good at the pesto/Gorgonzola sauce. Definitely check out this place.

We dropped in this place while out shopping. It's quaint, the staff were friendly. Lots of choices on the menu. My wife wanted pizza so that's what we had. Pizza was very good. Thin crust good sauce and plenty of toppings. We will be doing the rest of the menu next time in.

I've been eyeing this place for a few months now but have been hesitant. Today I finally decided to go and extremely glad I did. As soon as I walked in I expected it to be decent but as soon as the first item we ordered came, the pizza, I knew it was going to be great. Lots of flavor in the food and prices are fair. They aren't great deals but they are definitely not ripping you off with the quality and taste of the food. The restaurant could use a bit more lighting but that's just me, but the staff was all extremely kind, welcoming, and attentive. Definitely a spot I'll be showing friends.

The food is excellent, the service (Amanda) was so friendly and the atmosphere is warm and homely. My favorite was the broccoli rabe under a huge piece of perfectly cooked salmon. My daughter's eggplant parmesan was very tasty. My wife's chicken marsala was on the blend side, she says. My son inlaw pappardelle was plentiful. Lemon cake was a hit, light, not sweet and delicious.

Came back for the Spaghetti Pomodoro & the Lobster Ravioli. Both were delicious. The sauce from the ravioli was lick your plate clean good.

Authentic italian food! This restaurant teleports you to italy as soon as you walk in. Great atmosphere & great service. Great selection of drinks. And the amazing food - the risotto was to die for. Highly recommend!

This place is authentic southern Italian! I recently got back fro a trip to Italy and wanted something as authentic as possible. I was really surprised to hear the staff speaking Italian in the kitchen so I was really looking forward to seeing how good the food is. The bolognese was perfect! It tasted exactly how I remembered when visiting Italy. The carbonara was excellent, authentic, and delicious. Th prices may be a little daunting at first, but the quantity is massive and you're guaranteed to have leftovers. I thought the staff was welcoming, the food was excellent, and the value was spot on when you factor in the massive amount of pasta you get. It's a legit trattoria and is going to be around for a long time.

BRAVO! Well done. Excellent. Delicious!! Worth the wait (25 mins) - the place was packed with people waiting. My husband always says if a place can do a cheese pizza right then everything else will be great. AND you KNOW it be done correctly when the staff is speaking ITALIAN... You can watch them hand toss your pizza while you wait. And the SAUCE... forget about it! But why stop there? The crust - Mamma Mia! The cheese - couldn't get enough. Homemade pasta for the fettuccine with bolognese- again the SAUCE with tons of meat. Cappuccino's to die for. *sigh* Happiness... Great ambience and excellent friendly staff. We found our PIZZA & PASTA place! We were too FULL for dessert. And took leftovers home. Big portions to share. Don't fill up on the garlic knots - it will take more willpower than expected. Mangia!

All of it is great. Whenever I walk in I'm always greeted with a smile and warm welcome. The ambiance is quiet and inviting and the food never disappoints. I've had the pasta, a couple of different apps and of course the pizza, always delicious.

I've ate here quite a few times. Luigi and the rest of the staff are great! Love the food! Recommend you go try it :)

Very inviting as soon as you walk in. The service was fantastic and attentive. All of the food that was ordered was delicious!

We always enjoy the food at Trattoria Rustica! Their food is fresh, flavorful and the service very friendly and quick. The pizza's are so good! Pasta fresh and the sauces tasty! The restaurant is quaint and I love the checkered tablecloths. The restaurant is quiet. We enjoy eating inside and picking up to take home. Highly recommend! Enjoy! Manga!!

Enjoyed my dinner tonight that I ordered through Uber eats. I'm here for one night for work. I ordered the Cesar salad and Fettucini Bolognese. It took approximately an hour from time to order to delivery on the Uber app. The Cesar salad was simple but the dressing was delicious! Romaine lettuce, croutons, slivers of Parmesan cheese and dressing (if you like your salad super drenched in dressing, definitely ask for a second portion). I ate the entire salad! The bolognese sauce was buttery, light and perfect with the fettuccini (which was perfectly cooked). I stopped myself from eating the entire portion. I really enjoyed both dishes. My only recommendation is for the restaurant to package their Uber/to go orders in a brown paper bag with a sticker confirming the bag is unopened or not tampered by the driver. Please do this so we feel safe ordering from your restaurant.

I tried to go here on Sunday but it was closed, then I got to go last night and it was amazing the food was like my chef uncle went in kitchen and fed me! Had a glass of the Chianti, the truffle burrata, fresh bread knots, a pistachio chicken, tortellini, minestrone soup and tiramisu!

I've been meaning to write this review for a while, we've been in to dine several times and everything has been incredible each time! The restaurant is owned & operated by Angela & Luigi, a couple from Italy so the food is super authentic, we've gotten to know them over the last couple visits.

If you're looking for authentic Italian food in Henderson, you need to stop by!

Had an incredible meal here - the restaurant itself is warm and quaint. The chicken parm was huge and delicious, and the Rigatoni Rustica was unbelievable! Nutty, salty and creamy - like a pistachio infused carbonara. One of the few places I've eaten authentic Italian that could rival the best places in The Hill in St Louis.

What a wonderful time we had at trattoria. We were seated right away in this cozy restaurant. The staff is wonderful and friendly! We ordered the calamari appetizer which was cooked perfectly with a good size portion. It was so large we couldn't finish our mains of lobster ravioli and carbonara pasta. Both were outstanding dishes. I wish we had room for the cannoli!! A great place for a date night with your love!

Ordered Pasta, and could literally count how many single pastas they put. With a peace of not well cooked chicken and add sauce on it. It was totally not worth the high prices they have here. On top of that the pasta was cold. Another kids meal with Meatballs was terrible, meatballs were not well done just put some red sauce and think its ready. They dont prepare the food well, at least for to go orders, it was not worth the money and ended up throwing away. There are better italian places then this

Run, don't walk. Great atmosphere with varied, hodge-podge seating that only adds to the character. Charming, friendly staff, delicious bread, kind music. The food? Ah-mazing. So, so, good. Skip everywhere else!

All around excellent experience. Friendly staff, delicious food, details on the food when sought (tradition/reason/etc.). A person can tell that it's a family owned and operated. It's our new go to.

I just moved to town and wanted a local yummy Italian food ... (I'm tricky because I'm Vegan ) walked by this place after I was shopping and I got a glass of Cabernet it was delicious and only $11. Then ordered a beet salad (without the cheese) unbelievably good it came with complementary dough knots (I got them plain) honestly I was pretty full, but I saw other people in there drinking coffee and eating dessert so I asked if she had anything vegan and they had a creamy coconut sorbet that blew my mind and I got an Americano. It was A+ all the way. Very friendly staff great experience can't wait to go back.

I've always seen this place since I'm always in this plaza to go to Target or Ross. I came in and immediately felt how homey it was. We got the tartufaro pizza and fettuccine alfredo with chicken. They also offer garlic knots with olive oil on the house. I never thought pasta and pizza would be this GOOD. You can tell they make everything fresh even with the dough which is so hard to find nowadays. I'm not a pizza crust girly but the pizza crust here changed my mind. I honestly don't think I could go to any other place that serves pasta and pizza. The service was amazing! I felt like everyone was happy to be there and happy to help, I love when servers interact and have real conversations with their guests. Would definitely come here again to try out other items!

Ordered for pick up up and gave the wrong orders. The rest of the orders are meh. Garlic bread doesn't taste garlic at all. Calamari is very soggy. Pizza was oily

I wouldn't be leaving this review if I was able to reach someone by phone regarding my order. But as you can see by the pictures below I tried and was unable. Not good to have a business and you cannot be reached by phone. This pizza was terrible. EDIT UPDATE- As you can see I tried to call number you say is yours and is listed here on yelp 702-564-6262 last night and again just now. That number says not in service...adding another screenshot of my call log. So is there an actual number I can call and actually speak to someone???

Wow. I had seen a posting on Nextdoor about how good this place was, so we decided to try it out. When you walk into an Italian restaurant and everyone who works there is speaking Italian, it's a good sign. It's small, cozy, comfortable. Amazing food great price point. We talked to the owner and her husband, and they're super nice. Short answer: We'll be back sooner than later.
