Old World Flavors, Idaho Warmth: Discover Rustica
Rustica was created out of love for Italian, Spanish and French cuisines. Using high quality ingredients, European cooking techniques along with a warm and welcoming approach provide our guests with a relaxed and satisfying dining experience. The menu items were created around many of our team’s favorite dishes experienced while traveling Europe.
Fresh pasta dishes, handmade pizzas cooked in our dedicated pizza oven along with steak, pork and seafood dishes provide a wide variety of choices. Seasonal hand-crafted cocktails, an approachable wine list and beer are also available.
With an expansive patio on 8th street in downtown Boise which seats 40 guests, 90 seats inside including 10 seats at the bar, there is a place for everyone to feel comfortable. Rustica’s semi-private mezzanine level is available for corporate events and personal celebrations with menus that can be customized for your dining experience.
