Osteria Rustica Italian Restaurant UNCLAIMED

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.

This is a small family restaurant with a nice intimate atmosphere and our favorite date night spot in Palm Coast. The food is incredible with everything cooked fresh and looking beautiful. Service is as expected in any fine dining restaurant without the pretentiousness. We like how the chef is willing to adjust a dish and offers specials. Make sure you save room for desserts as they can be the meal's highlight. My only regret is that it's not fully licensed as Italian craft cocktails would push it to the extreme.

They have a very nice intimate atmosphere and the service is highly professional. The food here is truly delicious and is far superior to any other you get in other Italian restaurants in Flagler. This is not your red sauce joint and you can taste the difference. My husband and I ate like royalty and we savored every bite from the antipasti to the dessert. Please try this little place and you'll have an unforgettable experience.

I called for a reservation and got one the same day. It's a small and intermate place with good attention from the staff and felt very authentic Italian. There were some good sounding dishes on the menu and was told that it can change weekly based on the availability and freshness of available ingredients. They prepare the Caesar salad tableside which is done very well and all the dishes are beautifully plated. I will say that it's not a cheap meal out especially with wine so be prepared for quite a high bill. But we thought it was worth it for a special evening.

5 stars all around! This is a small restaurant with very personal service where all the staff works as one to present a great experience. It is pricey but you pay for quality and handcrafted meals that are faultless. Forget you're in Flagler and it feels like I imagine how a restaurant would be in Italy. It's a fancy and immersive place and somewhere definitely worth going to for a special occasion.

They have two seatings like on a cruise ship so don't expect to just walk in or get a reservation for a specific time. But whichever one you attend you will not regret it as the service and food are impeccable at either. Food is really the start here and the staff presents it like it's on stage. It can be heavy but always flavorful and perfectly cooked. From the chef to the service everyone has pride in what they do here to ensure you have an excellent meal.

I took for us for dinner here and it was a very expensive night out! However, the food really was excellent and it was well worth the cost. The food is very rich and portions impressively sized, and the staff is highly professional and are extremely accommodating with special requests. It's a very small restaurant with only about 7 or 8 tables and they do a lot of tableside preparations.

I can't say enough good things about our experience here. We sat in the outside area with beautiful fall weather and all the staff were super attentive and professional and the food is beyond delicious. This is a gem of a restaurant and I highly recommend.

An amazing dining experience! Faultless. Food is to die for and service is highly professional and doesn't miss a beat. The chefs here know how to please and every bite was truly a delight. Excellent wine and ambiance very intimate. No better place in Palm Coast for a special celebration.

Without doubt the best restaurant in Palm Coast! Could not find fault in food or service. It's very unassuming from the outside but once in you'll be transported to Italy where you get treated like the Pope and served the most delicious food. So many touches and gestures here to make your experience special. This is a place to visit for a treat and you owe it to yourselves to try. You won't regret it.

In addition to the food a good Italian restaurant is gauged by its warm hospitality and no rush service. We Americans expect our food to be out quickly and we gulp it down without hardly tasting it. Here, like any other good Italian restaurant, dining is an experience and this is a place to relax and dine slow while savoring every bite and sip of wine. The food here is superb. The service is knowledgeable and attentive. And although unassuming outside, the atmosphere inside is inviting and takes you away from Palm Coast to perhaps a Roman piazza. Maybe my thoughts are on the romantic side but this is what Osteria does... transforms you away for a few hours. Don't rush, go slow and savor here and enjoy the experience.

One of maybe only 2 or 3 white linen type of restaurants in Flagler County and quite possibly the best Italian restaurant in Florida! It's very intimate with impeccable service and attention to details. Just about everything on the menu sounding so tempting and it was hard to choose but our server helped us recommendation which turned out to be spot on. You can taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients from the burrata to the veal with everything having such lively flavors. Pasta is house made and the food is so beautifully presented. My only complaint is that I didn't have more room to keep eating. Prices are on the higher side but most definitely worth it.

Highlight of visit: Burratina Antipasti, Chilean Seabass, Veal Chop Barolo.

Fabulous restaurant with excellent food and first class customer service. The table-side Caesar Salad is unlike another other you've had, so tasty. Their Gnocchi has the best texture and the sauce was so flavorful. The Chilean Seabass and Ossobuco entrees were both phenomenal. Our waiter was highly professional and made our meal an experience to remember. This is a small intimate restaurant and it''s best to get reservations. It can be on the expensive side but worth the extravagance for a special occasion.

I was pleasantly surprised never expected a restaurant of the high quality in food and service and atmosphere here in Bunnell. I love it we will be back again for sure probably for my birthday. Loved everything about the place. It is 5 star for sure.

Highlight of visit: It is hard to pick out one thing; the food:the service the atmosphere as fine as a top restaurant in NYC. Can't wait to go back again.
