Amazing staff and food! We had a bachelorette group of 8 and they accommodated a day of reservation. We were able to sit upstairs, in a more private area of the restaurant and got two servers to wait on us. The servers were very friendly and attentive. We all enjoyed our food, especially for the price! Highly recommend! (Seafood alla Vodka pictured below)

Best Italian in Boone I plan to dine at Casa Rustica every time I visit Boone. The interior conveys a homey, laid-back atmosphere of authentic, home-crafted meals. You can sense the 40 years of history the moment you step in the door. Be generous when ordering your appetizers and soups! The stuffed mushrooms have become an easy favorite of mine (parmesan cheese, sundried tomato, and bread crumbs--yum!); however, Casa Rustica boasts a variety of "Primi Piatti" to keep you coming back for something new each time. The alfredo dishes taste amazing, as well. No matter what I order, I leave the restaurant full and satisfied. Highly recommended!

We thoroughly enjoyed this place! The food was delicious and there is a great selection. I went with the cheese stuffed ravioli and added meat sauces and my husband got the lasagna. I also had their French onion soup and it was incredible! Fortunately this was one of two places in Boone on Open Table and I was able to easily make a reservation.

Our meal at Casa Rustica was absolutely amazing. From the atmosphere to the food, to the service. Everything was perfect. Our server Brooke was highly attentive and very pleasant. The food was incredible! Everything was fresh and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommended! (I had the make your own Carbonara and we had the cheesecake for dessert. So good!)

Great ambiance, great food, great service. My fiance had steak with pace sauce and it was the best steak either of us have ever had (he generously let me try a bite).
