Italian and Tuscany Cuisine Rustica Cafe Italia

By day we are an olive oil and gelato shop, while by night we serve Tuscany cuisine and wine. We stock 14 types of olive oil, all available for tasting and purchase. Our gelato was the only Niigata gelato to win a prize at the 2010 National Gelato Competition. Rustica opened in 2000 in Furumachi, and moved to Bandai in October of 2012. We serve authentic cuisine of Tuscany, where we studied and lived. Our Italian vegetables are grown by contract farmers in Niigata. Our food and gelato is made, and our ingredients and wine are selected, with the thought of bringing you something delicious that will open your heart. Enjoy cuisine and wine that will make you feel like you are in sunny Florence, in the heart of Tuscany. We can also give customers a tip to trips to Italy. (We have visited over 400 restaurants in Italy.)
