Osteria Rustica in Bunnell

As a frequent traveler I get the opportunity to try many amazing places. I always find myself coming back to Osteria because Of the magnificent food, amazing service and the best family atmosphere. I truly feel welcome and appreciated and like I’m part of the family. Thank you for a wonderful restaraunt!

I am one to notice great service. Weather it be a clean table throughout the dinner with fresh silverware, or how they don't reach across you to refill your glass. The service was perfect. This was our first time to dine there and when they knew that, they were very, very helpful to let us know which dishes are their best. And it did not disappoint. From the first bite of the appetizer, the fresh table side made from scratch caesar salad, main course, dessert, and then a glass of their best port wine to top is all off; it was all yummy sounds and slow eating with smiles. It was obvious that everything was made from scratch. There were no shortcuts in the way this restaurant makes food. I've lived in Palm Coast for over 5 years. I feel cheated that I did not try this sooner. In short, this place is the real deal.

Beautiful place in and out. Small and intimate, perfect for a romantic dinner. The staff is wonderful. Everything from the wine to the dessert is delicious. My only negative critique is the food portions aren't that big. I ended up spending over 130$ on me and my fiancee and I wasn't full. With that said I will go back.

Absolutely delightful dining experience! Our server was impeccably charming and the food was exquisite. We will be returning with friends and family.

Everything is in harmony. Food presentation is flawless. Every dish is delicious. Service is excellent. Owner loves his customers and it shows!

Wonderful place. Very small and intimate. Must have a reservation. You can see the owner check every entree before it is presented to you. Try a hidden gem in Palm Coast.

This is the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to. A great selection of different dishes to choose from. Great service and atmosphere.

Simply amazing. 5 Star. Easily one of my favorite restaurants. Great Service. We will be back. Thank You for a perfect Valentine’s dinner.

The food was outstanding. The chef came to our table and prepared my Carbonaro expertly. There was also a pastry chef who came to our table and gave us a sampler plate instead of one large dessert. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and helpful. Price was as you would expect for this quality, but not overly so. It was a wonderful experience.

Hands down, to one of the best dining experiences in my life. This little restaurant is so cozy and lovely! The staff is amazing, the food is over the top, delicious!! Everything on their menu seems amazing I wanted to try everything. I ended up having the lobster ravioli which was amazing. The desert was so yummy too! I was very pleased with the whole experience. I can’t wait to go back!

I'm going to start this review by saying I have been to Europe and have eaten at many Italian restaurants while there. My time at Osteria Rustica was simply fantastic, the service there was excellent, couldn't ask for more! The food was delicious, we had a couple different dishes and none of them disappointed us. The chef came out at some point during the meal and introduced himself, had a little chat about where he is from, it was a great experience. It's a small place and you may miss it if you are just driving but my I highly recommend you give Osteria Rustica a shot, you won't regret it!

Top tier service and quality

This is one of our favorite restaurants, it's small you get personalized service and they are very attentive. The food is fresh and cooked authentically with each order. The desserts are to die for!

Amazing! Best Italian cuisine in Florida. Reservations in advance are highly suggested as limited seating available in this quant little establishment. Food and service were over the top! Starting with appetizer for 2, Gnocchi Trio (tomatoe basil, Alfredo and Pesto), all delicious. Next authentic Ceasar salad, prepared table side. Entrees, Specials- Pistachio crusted rack of lamb, seared to perfection,served medium rare over julienne mixed vegetables, polenta slice and homemade Papadel pasta with demi glaze. Veal chop with portobello mushrooms, vegetables and homemade pasta. Both dishes, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Fine dining, compleated with a bottle of Ruffino Chianti Reseve and although we didnt pass up, but could barely finish, the classic but extraordinary Tirimisu. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and plan on making this our special dining place, annually.

Some of the very best Northern Italian Cuisine I have ever tasted. Awesome!

Small atmosphere, only 12 tables. Attentive service. Good food.

Lovely dining experience. Service was impeccable, as was the food! Their wild boar is absolutely amazing, can't wait to go back and have it as an entree.

The best Italian food this side of the Atlantic. Great wine list. wide variety of entrees, apps and desserts. Expensive $$$ and worth every cent. Owner/chef, Fiorentinao is from Venezia. 'The place seats no more than 35 so it's cozy, the staff is delightful, professional and knowledgeable. Most highly recommended; be sure to make reservations so you won't have to wait for a table..

Only open for carry out but if you want an excellent Italian dinner call the day before and carry out at the appointed time the next day. The dinner could not have been better! We had Raviolino All’Aragosta and pappardelle Alla Diavolina. A dinner to forget the current troubles. Tell Alexa to play Italian dinner party music and you are set!

The food was incredible, the service was terrific. The owner came out and spoke to all of us. All in all great experience. Very expensive! But a great experience.

Superbly Italian restaurant located in a strip mall. Food and service was outstanding. I had Gulf Shrimp with Gorgonzola and it was perfect. My wife had the Pappa Aragosta and it was also very good. We started with a side table prepared Caesar Salad which was extremely delicious, but seemed overpriced. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked professionally presented, and delicious. Reservations required as the place is small. Staff was extremely informed and service fast. Parking a bit limited due to it being a strip mall, which was a little hard to locate. Totally recommend this hidden gem !

Amazing food, amazing service. It has been a long time since I have been to a restaurant this special. A real Caesar salad made at the table, no bottled dressing, anchovies shredded with forks while you watch, absolutely fantastic, great wine, carbonara, wow, bacony, fantastic. My wife had cioppiono. I am not a fan of red sauce on seafood but it was fantastic. Our waiter, Dillon, did a fantastic job, very attentive, didn’t miss a thing. Don’t forget desert, lemoncello cake, incredible....Wii definitely go back

Great night at Osteria Rustica! Appetizers Entrees and dessert were excellent. Dillion are waiter was top notch. Highly recommend this gem!

Delicious food but very expensive. Beware of the specials, veal chop was $85 and I didn't know until check came.

Feels like being in Italy. Amazing food!

Having lived for some time in Northern Italy I can honestly say this food is on par with the best Italy has to offer. Reservations are strongly suggested.

Fantastic food. MAKE A RESERVATION. Its a small place that can be a bit noisy when full. Later evening is more quiet. Desserts are NOT to be missed.

I love everything about this restaurant! I always feel like I'm eating a delicious meal in Italy, when I'm there. The food, wine selection, service, and ambiance are top notch. I can't wait for my next meal at this establishment. The Caesar salad is absolutely the best I have ever had, not to mention everything else on the menu. The best!

We have had the best experience each and every time we visit. The food is fantastic, the service is absolutely wonderful!

Best Italian restaurant near Palm Coast. If you want a charming setting, homemade pasta, Caesar made in front of you, an exquisite wine list, and a varied menu, you've found the right place.

One of the best restaurants I've had since coming back from Boston. The service was great. Entrees were very good. I ordered the veal bone in stuffed chop. Unbelievable! The desert sampler was also very good. I would recommend this place to anyone that loves quality food.

The food is delish!!! Everything is spot on. The staff are all great too. We love Tim alot!!! He knows how to take care of you. We will go back again.💖

Enjoyed the Restaurant, nice and friendly atmosphere. Greeting by the Chef Owner.Good very good, love the table side presentation of the Risotto. Best Risotto a had in a long time. Only comment the Restaurant is a little cramped, small tables.

I called and got a reservation!! Yay! Them Tim called and verified/confirmed the day of! The check in (temp check) - perfect. The table - fabulous Atmosphere - fun and casual! Service - Tim- absolutely fabulous!!! All wait staff - on par and timely with all!! Food: Lobster ravioli- excellent Veal - beyond flavorful and fall off the bone delicious! Carabbana (spelling wrong). The bowl was empty!!! Said it was the best he ever had! It was a great meal and fun because of the food, service and atmosphere! Go! You won’t be disappointed!

Great food and excellent service. They make you feel very special. One of my all-time favorites.

We enjoyed everything. We had the Caesar salad made at our table and the four of us had a variety of entrees. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. The only drawback is the price, which is also generous. This is a great place to splurge on a special meal.

We can only say great things about Osteria Rustica. Our service was so attentive and the food is delicious. Best way is to celebrate a birthday or anniversary.

The food, service, atmosphere...perfect! One of the best meals I have ever had. This fine dinning gem truly is a hidden treasure.

Our first visit. Small dinning room. Lively crowd. great service and excellent staff. Started with pasta as appetizer. A bit of a small portion. The star fish of the meal was the Oso buco. Great portion cooked perfectly with a very creamy risotto.and the amazing desert introduced by the pastry chef. Warm ricotta cake and the panicotta.Another trip from jax in the future.

I LOVE this place!!! If you have not tried this place yet you have no idea what you are missing! Authentic Italian cuisine that is a must! If you try this place once you will be back over and over again! And I cannot say enough about the owners they are so sweet and out in the dining room the entire time the whole experience at this restaurant is second-to-none! If I could give them 10 stores I would!

Christmas dinner with my family, my 80 yo dad said “one of the best dinners in my life”!! Thank you so much Tim for the awesome service! Best lamb I’ve ever had! Love to the chef and his lovely wife!! We will be back!

This was our first time to the restaurant. It was fantastic. Staff was fabulous. Had real Caesar salad prepared table side. The osobuco (sp?) was melt in your mouth delicious. Just made a new reservation for the end of the month.

The most amaze food I be had I. FL AMAZING CHEF OWNER!!!

My new favorite Italian restaurant! Delightful atmosphere with excellent service and delicious food. Chilean Sea Bass was perfectly done. Limoncello cake was tasty and light.

This place is amazing! It was a slow mid-week and they stayed open just for us and one other couple. Cannot praise the service or quality of food enough. Osteria is a " bucket list " experience.

My husband and I just had dinner at this wonderfully delicious restaurant at the recommendation of a friend. Wow, I am sorry we did not know about it before. The service is only out done by the food. I highly recommend this hidden gem. Be sure to call first for a reservation. While it is small the ambiance is just right! I highly recommend.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and great food. The restaurant isn't very big (only about 10 tables) which means it fills up quick and reservations are required. All the food that we tried tonight during was delicious and had great flavors. Because the place is smaller it feels like you are having dinner at the owner's house rather than his restaurant. The staff is extremely attentive and people check to make sure you are satisfied on a regular basis. Would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes Italian food as these are authentic flavors.

Out of curiosity for me as well as future guest during this time of restaurants being take out and delivery service only will it be possible to request orders for take out at osteria rustica?

Food was gorgeous, and presentation was fabulous, but the flavors didn't really come together for me on this visit. I could see it being a really great night for some, but for the price ($$$-$$$$) made me expect more.

A wonderful experience. Amazing food. Tim looked over us personally preparing the ceasar salad to perfection. A gracious welcome by the owner and family. A true gem.
