"Absolutely outstanding! This was some of the finest Italian cuisine we've ever enjoyed, and it made our first night in the Rockland area truly memorable. We were thoroughly impressed. Kudos to the entire kitchen and front-of-house team. We savored the beet Napoleons (a well-deserved crowd favorite), the cavatelli saltimbocca, and the Parmesan risotto special with shrimp and basil. We complemented our meal with a bottle of Leone de Castris Maiana Salice Salentino, one of Italy’s best-kept wine secrets and a personal favorite we reserve for special occasions. The tiramisu was also among the best we've ever tasted. If you're in Rockland, don’t miss this exceptional restaurant. It rightly holds its place as a local favorite and deserves even more recognition, including another diamond in the AAA guide."

We always enjoy eating at Rustica Cucina whenever we're in Rockland. There’s usually a wait for a table, which shows how popular and worthwhile it is.

The eggplant parmigiana here is outstanding! It's incredibly delicious, perfectly baked, and paired with a wonderful sauce. The portions are very generous, making it the perfect comfort food after a long day of exploring in Maine!

Great local spot for decent Italian in Rockland. We had the Supli app, similar to arancini. Really nice! Also the grilled chicken olivado and the baked ziti entrees. Generous portions and really great flavors. Park behind the restaurant. View menu

Rustica Cucina offers a warm and welcoming ambiance, complemented by a subtle yet attentive waiter and a bartender who is engaging and inclusive. It’s a pleasantly surprising gem, featuring a thoughtfully curated menu of reasonably priced dishes. If I lived nearby, this would undoubtedly be my favorite hangout.

We had an excellent experience with traditional Italian cuisine. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. For appetizers, we ordered Suppli and a special cake, and for our main courses, we enjoyed Crispy Parm and Saltimbocca. Our delicious meal was perfectly complemented by Limoncello and Cannolis for dessert. View menu

My husband has been craving Italian cuisine all week and we decided to try this place. Even without a reservation, they were able to seat us immediately on a busy night. The service was friendly and quick. My husband said these were the best meatballs that he's ever had. The fettuccine alfredo was delicious. Of course, the olive oil for the bread was delicious too. Wine is available by the glass or bottle. They offer specialty cocktails and local beers as well. Parking on the street was free with 2 hr time limit. There is additional parking in near by lots available.

Absolutely exquisite! Some of the best Italian dishes we've ever eaten in our first night in Rockland. We were blown away. Our compliments to the entire kitchen and in front of the house team. We had the beet of Napoleon (which is popular for one reason), the cavatelli salimbocca, and the Parmesan risotto special with shrimps and basil. We paired with a bottle of Leone de Castris Maiana Salentino, lawfully one of Italy's best kept secrets when it comes to wine, and a favorite of ours that we order on special occasions. Tiramisu was also one of the best we ever eaten. Don't miss this wonderful restaurant if you? in Rockland. It deserves to be the local favorites that it is, and it also deserv...
