Osteria Rustica Italian Restaurant

The best Italian restaurant in North Florida! The food is delicious, the service is superb and I’m never disappointed. It’s a small intimate setting which adds to the experience. The chef is from Italy and he always greets your table telling you about his amazing specials. You need to call in advance for a reservation but it’s worth it! If this doesn’t sway you surely the pictures will. Possibly the best pasta I’ve had in my life!

Most enjoyable experience one could have visiting a restaurant (dining experience). From the call to reserve a time slot (reservation), to every interaction and food course brought to your table, it is pleasant with passion. This small venue of an Italian family business, involves all their staff. They make you feel like someone important to them. Like family! This is our third visit over four years and it has not disappointed. It is clean, looks and smells clean. We love it. The food, well you will not find any better. The love is in all their food. Approximately 10 tables (2-8 person per party) available. Not open Sunday and Monday. Because it is limited, Call ahead (day or so) and make your reservations. It’s not crowded, but is not a large dining area. Plan to pay $50 -70 per person for a full course. Come and See!

He did it again! Another fabulous meal with Florio and his team. Live plating of my Caesar salad was amazing. Dressing made from scratch...whoa! Dessert as always didn't disappoint. Dylan remembered my mothers drink and the fact she preferred room temp from 2 months ago! "LET'S GO!" Chef Floriano is a Venetian master chef without a doubt. The restaurant is small and unassuming with its location and size. He has approx 8 to 10 tables available for reservations Tuesday to Saturday (5pm to 930pm). But because of the intimate setting, Chef Florio offers you an unbelievable experience for your senses! There are meals that come with table service... salad dressings, salads, and pasta dishes created and plated in front of you. While you enjoy your meal, you can't help but look at others and what they are having. So you can plan for your next experience. We immensley enjoyed the rainbow trout and sole entrees plus the 3 desserts, which were so divine and sinful with just the right sweetness and lightness to not feel tooo guilty. They offer a wide selection of wines and specials that are not on the menu, so ask! Chef comes out to greet his guests and chat and sometimes he will plate your meal for you at the table! What a wonderful, funny and remarkable gentleman. If that is the closest, I will make it to Venezia then I look forward to my next trip to Flagler!

So amazing! I came here for my birthday dinner and the owner was so accommodating. There was 17 of us which is a lot (this is a small restaurant) we spoke several times before the dinner to ensure everything was perfect and it was! Everything was so fresh and delicious. Service was impeccable! I couldn’t have had a better birthday dinner. Thank you so much!!
