    MENU FROM CHEF JAMES WEAVER " FOUNDER OF SLOW FOOD CENTRAL NEW JERSEY "

    As a young Italian-American restaurant, located in the heart of the New Jersey Gold Coast, we feel fortunate to have a growing number of diners, sharing invaluable feedback with us and recommending our restaurant to family and friends.

    In gratitude, we are delighted to announce Rustica’s new  Spring Menu, thoughtfully created by Chef James Weaver. Wikipedia

    Weaver, who recently designed the menu as a tribute to his Italian heritage and in recognition of the distinguished tastes of our diverse community.

    Chef James Weaver is one of the pioneers of the local food movement in the United States and founder of Slow Food Central New Jersey. He is also the author of Locavore Adventures ( Rutgers University Press 2012).

    Supporting local farms and small food producers whenever possible, we purchase our meats, poultry, seafood, cheeses and produce from reputable, humane and sustainable sources. Most of our ingredients are higher quality then similar restaurants.

    Sauces, stocks, some pastas and desserts are made in house so that we can control the highest quality products possible. Our food is based in Italian tradition but uses local ingredients as well as some imported Italian and European specialties

    We invite you to rethink an Italian-American cuisine, created with you in mind.
