Great Pasta
They do a really nice job with some of their pastas including tortellini bolognese, penne vodka, and penne alla rustico.

Review of the restaurant
The food is good quality, and when I order for pick up its always on time. This is not the place I would stay to eat since the atmosphere/vibe are not inviting.

Odd Sauce...
I ordered the chicken parm meal for lunch today and while the chicken was cooked really well with tons of cheese, the sauce was extremely strange. Almost like lighter ketsup. It has a gel like texture and tasted awful. The pasta was also way over cooked. Mush like. I wont be ordering again.

The Best Bolognese in NYC
We order from here nearly every week. Their Spagetti Bolognese is to die for! The best we've ever had! I would also recommend the Chicken Francese. Food always arrives piping hot. Prices are extremely reasonable and the portions are large, making the next days lunch just as yummy as last nights dinner. Great for tourists on a budget, at least that's where I send friends who visit and they are always happy I did.

bad meatballs
spaghetti was ok, but meatballs were terrible. tasted like they were processed, frozen, then defrosted in the microwave and served on top of pasta. not likely to order from here again.

great pasta!
Cafe Rustico looks like your standard pizza joint (you wouldn't want to eat in unless you're just grabbing a slice) but their menu is so good. They have the best spaghetti bolognese that I've found in the city and the arugula salad is delicious. The only disappointment I've had from them were the garlic knotsthey were a little too crunchy.

caprese and pasta are great
i order regularly from this place - caprese (comes with peppers too) is good- their balsamic dressing that comes with it is amazing (i always end up dipping bread into it afterwards). Their penne alla vodka is my guilty pleasure (i order it as capellini alla vodka) - and i always get extra vodka sauce. Their eggplant rolitini appetizer is also good ( i get extra tomato sauce with it). All in all its very reliable & easy comfort food. Been ordering in for years from here, dont care if its a pizzaria...its good. They do charge for extra sauce, which isnt the end of the world but it does add up... the vodka sauce is sooo worth it though.
