Cibo Rustico Pizzeria - Santa Rosa

Service was terrible. Made a reservation for 2 people at 6:15pm, we got there exactly on time and were sat immediately. We were brought water, menus and a sample of wine. After that, no one even looked in our direction until we got up and left at 6:40pm. No one even came by to say, “sorry we’re busy, we’ll be with you soon.” Highly disappointing as their food looked and smelled amazing.

Food was good but not great, 4/5. Pizza took longer than expected (compared to other non-chain Italian restaurants who served a bit better pizza). Our server was polite but we regularly felt like we were being rushed, and this was odd since less than half of the tables were occupied. If she was worried about reservations that would come later, there would be seats available. 1st instance of being asked if we were done, my kids and husband were still obviously eating. 2nd instance I understand as my daughter, who was not yet done, needed to take a restroom break and was not at her seat at that point. My daughter comes back from the restroom, said she wanted to pack her food, so we started to add her leftover meatballs to one box and in the process, our server again asks for the 3rd time if we were done. My daughter had several pieces of ravioli on her plate that she wanted to pack for home too, but before we could respond, our server took the plate already. I did not say anything anymore at this point since the server seemed pretty determined to move us along. Decor and ambience was nice, but that sense of being rushed was just overpowering, considering we had not bugged her for the pizza prep taking longer than expected, and no, I am not comparing the pizza prep time to pizza fastfood chains but to Italian restaurants similar to Cibo.

The food was amazing. The TERMITES that were all over and would not leave us alone? Not so much. There were hundreds. In the third photo all those little black dots are termites on the floor.

The owner walking around checking on the tables is very sweet. The pizzas are made in a massive oven, and you can see them loading in the wooden logs. Ours was made perfectly with large portions for a great price. Would recommend.

I liked the Italian, country styled atmosphere and play list.. I was delighted to see a gluten free pasta choice on the menu, very good and combined with the roasted vegetables, it made a delicious meal. Gracie Dietary restrictions: I was delighted to see there was a gluten free pasta cuicee. I haven't had good pZya for a long time. The roasted vegetables are wonderful , too
