Review of Rustico Restaurant & Bar

The food and service at Rustico were terrible. 90% of the GF options marked on the menu are NOT actually GF. Everything in the “shareable” section is cooked in a shared fryer with gluten food. The only safe thing to eat is salad. They also serve their entrees on reusable wooden block plates (which absorb gluten even when cleaned). They brought out potatoes on a ceramic plate which they told me they had the chef pan cook, but they definitely just brought out fried ones (which I could clearly see on arrival so I didn’t touch them). If you have celiac disease DO NOT eat here. I ended up getting sick from the breakfast entree I ordered (eggs Benedict on a gluten free roll). I will never go back here or recommend it to anyone I know with an allergy.
