"We've been dining in Rustica for as long as I could remember. I think my parents would take us here since 2004! Grade school recognition days, birthdays, and many other celebrations. The food is great and so is the customer service. Even if we all reside in Manila now, this will always be a go-to restaurant when we visit Tarlac. :)"

"First time to try out Rustica Tarlac City after attending Tried Rustica Tarlac City for the first time after Sunday Mass. It’s a very family-friendly spot—clean, organized, and the food was great! The servers were also very courteous. My only minor gripe was a few flies appearing after we finished our meal, but overall, it was a lovely dining experience for the family."

"Rustica Tarlac serves as a delightful culinary destination that delivers classic Filipino dishes in a traditional setting, garnished with a touch of elegance due to its high ceilings and inviting decor. My dining experience here was thoroughly enjoyable. The menu at Rustica Tarlac sticks to the roots of Filipino cuisine, offering a range of well-loved dishes that are executed well. We ordered a variety of items including ampalaya beef, which was bitter yet savory, garlic rice, crispy pata, sinigang Bangus belly offering a sour broth that was spot on, and inihaw pusit, which was grilled tender. Service at Rustica was commendable. The staff was quick, attentive, and responsive, enhancing our dining experience with their efficient service. They were knowledgeable about the menu and willing to offer recommendations, which was appreciated. The decor of Rustica adds a charming vibe to the dining experience. The traditional Filipino restaurant style, complemented by high ceilings, creates a spacious and welcoming atmosphere that elevates the overall ambiance. This design choice not only adds aesthetic value but also makes the dining area feel open and comfortable."

"Good restaurant, the filipino menu is quite complete. The dishes tasted fresh but some lacked a bit of flavors. The quality for the price is good however the quantity was sometimes inconsistent depending on the dishes. The pasta dishes are quite small for 2 while other ones easily serves 3 to 4. The staff was great and the restaurant has a distinct identify. It's conveniently placed on the main road and parking. Overall, I recommend this restaurant!"
