We make this our first night's dinner choice on each visit to Lake Placid. Food is excellent, casual but cozy ambiance, and attentive service.

My husband and I were in Lake Placid and wanted a nice resturant to go to. Someone in town recommended Caffe Rustica and advised us to get past the fact it is right next to Price Chopper and in a plaza. Well that person was right.

I am a bit late in writing about Caffe Rustica since I was last there in Feburary. The feeling of warmth and friendliness one gets on first entering the restaurant is amazing.

We highly recommend this restaurant to any of our friends and family that visit the area (and... More

Good food, sensible wine list, good prices and friendly service. The only negative is that sometimes you can not get a table and they only take reservations for > 6... Guess that is indicative that others favor Rustica too...
