Rustico - Newport

The service was great and the pizza was really good.

We decided to go here for dinner and such a big mistake that was, we ordered beverages which I ordered a maple shake and ended up getting huge clump of ice cream in milk so I sent it back and took a sip and was maple walnut which is not even on their menu it is a good thing I do not have a nut allergy, let the waitress know and when she asked what else I wanted I told her a maple shake not maple walnut. she then said they are not making shakes now. ordered a water did not come out until the food. which I ordered chicken cordon blue burger, took about 6 bites and noticed the ham had grey spots and told the waitress and she went to the kitchen and came back to our table and said the color is from the food slicer well if that was the case they don't clean their equipment(nasty). I had ham go bad before and it is exactly what it looked like, never got an apology or anything and to top it all off my son's burger was half cooked. customer service was absolutely horrible along with the food. we will never go there again and some of our friends have been there and did not have good experiences either.

Eric and I went to Wayne's tonight for the second time I have ever gone and both times have been great! I can't remember what i ordered last time but i know it was amazing. Tonight I ordered the special surf and turf. With shrimp and medium rare steak! The steak was perfectly cooked with phenomenal flavor and the shrimp was very pleasing to the eye! Had that with a side of tasteful coleslaw and mashed taters and gravy to die for! Eric had the baked scallops with garlic butter and lemon! Staff was friendly and prompt. We also had stuffed baked seafood mushroom which were awesome! Atmosphere could have been a little more upbeat.. maybe some music of television but very minor faults considering all the other positive things! Thank you all for your time and pleasure to the community!

Went for dinner today! Stuffed shells were excellent! Great service, great food!

Got seated. We were ignored for 20 min and had to flag down waitress to please take our order. She then explained that the wait staff was told to “pause” on taking orders. We waited so long for our food, our ice in our drink melted. My friends fried clams looked good. (To be addressed later) My mozzarella sticks tasted like something you’d buy at super Walmart and heat yourself and so did my buffalo chicken strips. We asked to take home dessert and they boxed up two pieces of “cake” for us. An hour after we left, my friend got violently ill with diarrhea and vomiting and feels her clams were bad. I later opened up our “cake” and had to laugh. It looked like cake a four year old put together. I grew up here and went to this place as a kid 30 years ago. I will never ever go back. The owner kept apologizing for the over one hour wait for the food but never offered us any discount. Bad experience all the way around. Attached are the desserts we took home. Pretty sad.
