Rustic, Francis's Favorites

So another awesome visit. Today we had the eggplant parmigiana. It was so good as we expected. Also had the pizza of the day also so delicious. Our waiter was Evan who was so sweet and nice! Very patient with us, being older adults and asking questions. Our favorite place to go on a special outing! And never been disappointed. Chef, and all staff very professional and caring! Thank you Rustic!

Jackie was an amazing server! This was definitely the best dining experience we had in Napa Valley. One of us ordered from the set menu, and the others from the regular menu (but we all shared). The roasted eggplant was phenomenal. Those who were skeptical about it were hooked at first bite. The pork terrine (like a pate) was amazing as well. The bolognese was so good, so was the skirt steak, pizza, and seasonal risotto! The strawberry panna cotta was heavenly. It was like strawberry ice cream but as a panna cotta. So light and delicious. Great service, stunning views, and great food!

Great food and service, I love the views from the terrace. The food portions are large enough to share family style. The prices are a bit pricey, but to be expected, being at Coppola's. We ordered a seasonal risotto, skirt steak, baby lettuce salad with stone fruit, Uncle Mikey's sausage sandwich, and cavatelli bolognese. The sandwich wasn't too exciting or spectacular. It was only sausage and peppers served on a roll. But, the cavatelli bolognese and risotto were so good, the cavatelli pasta was house made and aldente the bolognese sauce felt like I was eating at a Italian mother's home. The risotto was loose and delicious and creamy like it is supposed to be. The salad and skirt steak were very delicious too. The setting on the terrace was the highlight. Again, it felt like being in Italy somewhere. Must try for sure.

Returned for a birthday lunch for my sister today and again the meal offerings did not disappoint anyone. we tried a white pizza with fennel dusting, Caprese, salad, rack of lamb, and classic Fiorentina steak. All were delicious. We had started with The fried zucchini and the eggplant (which came out looking like a squid) appetizers. We ended dinner with affogato and chocolate dessert. Stephanie was a wonderful hostess. Prior to dinner, we did a bit of winetasting with Michael who was very knowledgeable, funny, and friendly

Food was AMAZING! Sat on the terrace and the view and ambiance was perfection. Our waiter, Andrew, was very attentive and funny and knowledgeable. Love love love!
