Rustico Rothschild
About This Spot
Nestled on the bustling stretch of Rothschild Boulevard, Rustico Rothschild greets you with an inviting warmth that feels both intimate and spirited. The moment you step inside, the gentle hum of conversation and familiar clatter of plates set a comfortable pace, where time lingers just enough for shared stories and the soft enjoyment of good company.
This cozy Italian retreat carries an undercurrent of joy in its ambiance — unpretentious yet attentive to detail. Whether it’s the quiet midweek lunch bathed in sunlight or the lively buzz that fills the room on weekend evenings, the mood holds a welcoming balance between energized city life and the simple pleasure of savoring a thoughtfully prepared meal.
The air is softly fragrant with herbs and garlic, promising a journey through classic Italian flavors reinterpreted with a fresh, local spirit. Dishes arrive with a sense of care — a plate of lasagna that feels like a hug, pasta that dances between delicate seasoning and hearty satisfaction, and desserts that invite quiet indulgence.

Here, the bustling rhythm of Tel Aviv slows just enough to savor the beautiful simplicity of a good meal well shared.

We were a party of 4 for lunch in a sunny day. We reserved a table instead which was wise as it was very hot outdoors. The service was great and the dishes very tasty. We ordered few salads and pasta for each and few deserts. The starter salads, Carbonara and Lasagna were very good and from the deserts we really liked the Tiramisu and the chocolate mousse. We are eating Gluten Free because of Celiac disease - there was a good amount of dishes to choose from and the service was well informative.

Amazing lasagna and pasta Carbonara. One of the best I tried in Tel Aviv, very flavourful and well-seasoned. The food came super quickly, very much appreciated friendly service. On Friday evening the place was packed but they found a place for us on the bar. Highly recommend this place and book in advance.

Food was very tasty. The portions were very good. Adi was our server and very good service. Desert Tiramisu was delicious. The only thing that i think is that it is important their restroom was very dirty. They have to make sure that should be clean.

Walked past this restaurant during a night out in Tel Aviv, it looked good from the outside and had a line of people waiting. We made a reservation for a few days later and I think this is one of the best Italian restaurants we’ve ever been to Great lasagna and pizza. Small cozy restaurant, with very nice staff. We ended up coming back another time later during our holiday. Both times we had a seat at the bar, we could look right into the open kitchen which was great. The second time we needed to wait because the table wasn’t ready yet, but got offered some wine during the wait. Everything was great, definitely worth it!

Been there so many times, but finally the review is here! The only reason I’m taking out one star, is because of the service, that over the years lost its quality. Other than that, the food is consistently great. The place became much more of a family restaurant over time, but the food is still delicious. All pasta and pizza dishes are really great, especially the fish in an envelope or any variation of it.

PERFECT. The best restaurant I've been to in a while. Simply fantastic. I went there with my friend without a reservation. Still, they let us in. We were seated at a table outside. We had so much fun. Excellent service. Our waiters חיי and לירון were THE BEST. They gave us the recommendations we ordered. Each one was better than the previous one. We ordered pasta פפרדלה ברוטב קלאסי, pizza, and a salad. The pasta was tasty. Absulotely recommended. It was hot and full of flavor. And our waitress put a lot of freshly brushed parmesan on the plate. The pizza was surreal. Crunchy, not too thick or thin, and also full of flavor. Excellent. The salad, I don't recall its name, had mozzarella cheese that was fresh and tasty. When I say everything we ordered was a ten I mean it. The dessert we ordered was recommended by חיי and לירון. The only thing I can say about it is WOW!! We ordered two cocktails beside it. It was perfect. I didn't get to take pictures of everything because we were hungry. Thank you for our waiters. Thank you to the restaurant for this experience. We're DEFINITELY going to revisit it.

I recently had dinner here, and I have to say, it was a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely delicious, with authentic Italian flavors and high-quality ingredients. We particularly enjoyed the pasta dishes, which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also top-notch. It had a warm and inviting ambiance that made us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we walked in. The service was excellent as well, with attentive and friendly staff who went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience.
