Pasta Rustica's menu has vegetarian choices, daily specials and a wide selection of pastas and sauces, as well as meat and seafood dishes. Exposed brick walls and red and white checked tablecloths lend a provincial feel to this traditional Italian eatery. Rigatoni Calabrese is a hearty dish of pasta tossed with tomato, sausage, hot salami and beef ragout. Serious meat lovers should try the Toscano Pepata, a thick juicy sirloin steak rubbed with fresh chilli and char grilled. For dessert try mouth-watering tiramisu or Italian ice creams.
