Review of Osteria Rustica by Ron from Palm Coast
From the outside it's very unobtrusive but once in, it's a very friendly and intimate restaurant with the best Italian food you'll find in Palm Coast. It's the perfect place to visit for a special meal or celebration, and its menu changes weekly based on fresh ingredients. Osteria is a true gem in Palm Coast.

A culinary gem that offers upscale Italian cuisine combined with attentive and friendly service in an atmosphere indicative of a small family run restaurant in Italy. We visit often and are always very impressed by the chef's creations and the beauty of his dishes. Menus are kept small to ensure quality and change frequently. Please do try Osteria Rusica, it's one of the very few culinary gems we have in Flagler.

I can't say enough good things about our experience here. It was our wedding anniversary and the staff made us feel very special and our meals were divine. The menu is small yet I wanted everything on it as it all sounded so good. Food is freshly made and arrives looking fabulous. The recommended wine was a hit too. I think we need to make this a regular anniversary spot fro years to come 🍾🥂🍝

We chose Osteria to celebrate our anniversary this year and was very happy with our choice. The staff gave us a lot attention and made us feel special. The food was absolutely delicious and was by far the best meal we’ve had in Palm Coast.

This restaurant is an absolute must for Palm Coast epicurians. You're guaranteed an exquisite meal and highly attentive service. The menu changes often, and the chef is willing to help with requests. He made our daughter a delicious vegetarian dish specially for her. Osteria Rustica is small and nicely intimate and it definitely transports you to Italy.

Call them now and make a reservation and you will have the best dining experience in Flagler. They treat you like long lost family friends and serve you the most delicious food and wines. And save room for dessert, which was actually the best course for me 😋 A very memorable and authentic Italian experience all around.

Excellent Italian food that is prepared and presented by a chef with a big passion for his craft. You get very personalized service and the pay attention to the details. Osteria Rusica is a great celebratory restaurant or perfect for a romantic evening out. Every time we go it gets better. Dinner last night was exceptional and we couldn’t have asked for better.

Dinner was amazing! We couldn't have wished for a better meal and the quality of service is top of the line. Staff are very appreciative and very warm and welcoming. The chef is extremely obliging and a culinary talent.

My husband surprised me with a birthday dinner here and we had the most amazing meal and experience. From the moment we entered we had the best service and we had plenty of attention from all the staff throughout the night. The menu was small but everything on it sounded so tempting. A lot of care and passion goes into the food here and you can really taste it. Even the wines we had were superb. I so wish we could afford to visit more often, but If you want somewhere special to go in Palm Coast, then this is your restaurant. I really can't recommend it enough.

A true diamond amongst the rough, Osteria Rustica is a wonderful small and cozy place where you're treated like family and served the most delicious food. You can really taste the difference in the food here over other local Italian restaurants, it's definitely a few steps up, uses premium ingredients, and is beautifully presented. We already reserved for our anniversary as we can't think of anywhere better in the area to celebrate it.

This intimate reservations restaurant with just a few tables enables Chef Florio and his staff (family) to offer a unique and personal dining experience. Every course will delight your eyes and your taste buds and let the staff advise you on which wine to select. Their recommendations have been spot on. Don't leave without dessert, you will not regret it. The food and service here will not be out of place in any tavern in Italy and we have it right here in Flagler.

I was trying to find somewhere special to take my wife for our anniversary and was recommended Osteria Rustica, and it couldn't have been better. It's an intimate and romantic restaurant that is family run with a small menu that changes regularly and everything is made fresh. The service was impeccable and the food is absolutely delicious. The wine was excellent and really went with the meal. I did call ahead to plan our visit and you will need a reservation, as there are only a few tables and they book up fast.

The quality and flavor of the food here blew me away! Everything was incredibly delicious and looked great too. The staff here are extremely attentive and they welcome you like friends. The menu is small but revolves with what's fresh and in season, so a real farm to table type place. Desserts are a must here. It's small and intimate and you need a reservation to guarantee a spot. It is expensive but I thought it was money very well spent. My wife was very impressed and was the best date restaurant we've been to in Flagler.

This is very close to the rustic taverns we discovered in Italy. The whole family operates them and they treat you as one of their own. Nothing is too much trouble and you are never rushed. They are small, with just a few tables to ensure they give everyone their attention and can cook everything fresh to order. We felt welcomed here and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The father is the chef and has a big passion for feeding people with delicious seasonal food. Although pricey, they also have some excellent wines available. Osteria Rustica is one restaurant we would definitely return to.

I called to see if they had a table available for two and they told us to come in 2 hours and they'll take care of us, and that they did. We were seated right away and staff were around us making sure everything was taken of. They had a menu for that evening which was small but every dish sounded so good. We shared a cold Pomodorelli for antipasti which was excellent. As an entree I had the most amazing Rainbow Trout which had a pistachio crust with a Dijon, brandy, and honey cream sauce, served with freshly made pappardelle. For dessert we had the Lemoncello cake, which really completed the meal perfectly. Throughout the evening service never faltered, and I know I sound like their spokesperson, but it really was a memorable meal and a wonderful experience. Thank you to all the lovely staff at Osteria Rustica.

I nitpick, but the two things that prevent me from giving Osteria 5 stars are the cheap paper napkins and tablecloths, which are not becoming of its quality of food and service, and the lack of wines by the glass with only one mediocre red and white offered. However, everything else about the restaurant is excellent, and of all the times I've been, I have yet to have a bad meal here. The staff remembers me and my requests, and I love the intimate atmosphere.

After hearing so many good things about Osteria Rustica, we finally got to try it tonight. We had a reservation and were immediately greeted by name. It's a small restaurant and from the moment we were seated we had the attention of all the staff. The menu is small and changes daily; everything on it sounded so tempting. The antipasti dish was pasta stuffed with pear and cheese in an incredible blueberry sauce... one of the best dishes I've had in a long time. The Caesar Salad was prepared tableside and was phenomenal. Our entrees were excellent with freshly made pasta, and the risotto had the perfect 'bite' and creaminess. All of the staff are attentive, very polite, and professional. Fresh food takes a while to prepare and it was nice relaxing in the osteria style atmosphere. My wife and I were on a date night, and we enjoyed a perfect unrushed evening.

Small place with just a few tables. We had a reservation and arrived and were left standing before being noticed, No apologies were made but service from then on was very good. The food is pricey and from what I can tell is made in house from top ingredients, and the flavors were good but I expected something more exceptional, these were not really any better than I'd get at any Italian chain restaurant.

Service was excellent, but the food was just ok. The pesto gnocchi was way too salty! The veal dish with the tomato was very amateur…sauce on the veal tasted like Chef Boyardee. The bread was below average and the atmosphere was not great! The prices are very high for zero low ambiance and food that is mostly average at best! It’s very clean and service is excellent… for what it’s worth.
Highlight of visit: Service is excellent.
