Rustiko

Rustiko is a kosher dairy restaurant in Surfside serving Italian-leaning comfort food, from wood-fired pizzas to pastas, salads, and a full breakfast and brunch menu. The dining room has a chic, romantic feel with sidewalk seating along Harding Avenue, right in the heart of Surfside's kosher restaurant corridor near Bal Harbour Shops.

Guests come back for the truffle pizza, pumpkin ravioli, onion soup, and the goat cheese and caramelized onion pie that regulars order by name. Expect moderate to upscale pricing, attentive table service, and a packed room most weekend nights, so reservations are worth making ahead.

Families, couples, and solo diners all find a spot here, whether it's a weekday breakfast with coffee or a Saturday night dinner after Shabbat. With both indoor and outdoor seating, vegetarian and vegan options, and a kids' menu, Rustiko works for a quick lunch or a longer meal with the whole table sharing plates of pasta, pizza, and cheesecake for dessert.
