Piazza Grande

A romantic dinner, a glass of wine with close friends or a family celebration. Rustico Rothschild is the place. The city’s elders can’t remember what Rothschild Boulevard looked like before Rustico opened, right in front of the historic No. 16 building, where Ben-Gurion promised pasta to whoever set foot in the area, regardless of religion, race or gender. Rustico is a classic Italian restaurant, which means stains of olive oil and the smell of balsamic vinegar, mozzarella ripped between one’s fingers, something which just came out of the oven fresh and warm, a bit of coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. And a glass of wine, of course.

An Italian restaurant led by Chef Ofek Gilad, in the heart of Nahalat Binyamin with a precise Italian menu, cocktails and a wide selection of fine wines.
