Osteria Rustica Italian Restaurant UNCLAIMED

A top notch dining experience and first class restaurant. This is the best Italian restaurant you'll find anyway near here. From the outside you would not be impressed but one inside you'll be very impressed. From the moment you call to make a reservation to when you pay and leave, the staff will treat you with respect and professionalism. The food is fabulous and we loved every bite from our appetizers to the dessert. Staff pay a lot of attention to you and you feel special here. It is expensive but definitely worth every penny. Highly recommend for special occasions or to impress a date ;-)

From the outside this restaurant doesn't look much. It's in an unassuming strip mall with nothing to make it very appealing or inviting, but once inside you're taken away to what feels like an intimate family run bistro somewhere in Italy. It's very old school with dated food you've seen on menus for decades with table side theater expected of classy Italian eateries. It's also old school in other ways too, you'll need reservations (they appear to want to make you feel privileged to dine here), they seem to avoid any kind of social media activity or website and don't post their menu online. However, the food is fucking delicious! Like I said, it is dated but it really delivers the favors of Italy well with impeccable service.

The raviolis are excellent and the pappardelle was perfect. The sea bass was like butter with the most incredible flavors. The risotto made in the cheese wheel should be on everyone's must have dishes in their lifetime list. Desserts were cliched but equally as good. Portion sizes are catered to the American so are huge and definitely larger than they need to be, and so is the check! It's not a cheap night here and it will set you back a big chunk of your week's pay check. But this is a special occasion restaurant is worth the splurge.

Visit here for a very special evening out and enjoy having your every culinary need taken care of with highly professional yet friendly service.

PS: I dropped a star for the atmosphere rating due the outside needing some attention. It could easily be made more inviting.

Who would of known this restaurant was here? From the outside it's very nondescript in an old strip mall type building, but it has absolutely the best service and top notch food around! We have had the best meals anywhere since moving here and tried some top dining locations from Orlando to Jacksonville. This is a small intimate restaurant with impeccable service usually only associated with big high end city restaurants.

The food is class on a plate with light and bright dishes packed with flavor. It's made fresh and you can really taste the difference. It's not entirely modern food but you'll find some cooking techniques that are definitely new to this area with some dishes offering table side theater.

It's on the expensive side but worth every cent and should be on top of your locations for important celebrations. Call for reservations though.
