The weather had turned a bit foul in Palm Beach so we decided to find a lovely cosy bistro to settle in to for the evening. I was staying at The Ritz Carlton so I thought somewhere close no venturing out to the suburbs tonight. Rustico Italiano is a lot more than a cosy bistro and to find it in downtown amongst bars and sushi is an absolute treat. Mood lighting,lots wine, closely positioned tables ,professional waiters and a very knowledgeable Maitre D. I had viewed the menu online and was keen to try the bufalo burrata with arugula. My guest had Octopus Carpaccio. The two dishes were outstanding. For main course we had Crab meat Ravioli and fettuccine Bolognese.This one to leave you wanting more so cleaning the bowl with bread was a must. Dessert was a casualty just becauseof the quality of the meals. A word of advice take your reading glasses the lighting is dim even though they lend you a lamp during ordering. You will know what your neighbours are up to due to the tight seating but it adds to the allure.
