In 2006, after 30 years in the hospitality industry, Mario Renzitti’s love for the locals led him to choose Vancouver's Main Street and 16th Avenue as the location for his new love: Caffe Rustico.
Far from an ordinary coffee shop, Caffe Rustico is a place Mario and his customers can come to socialize and have fun. The atmosphere is conversational, relaxed, and complemented with delicious food and drinks. Both regular and first-time customers happily embrace the welcoming Italian vibe.
The cafe boasts an outdoor patio, free Wi-Fi, a large menu of authentic Italian cuisine and comfortable amenities. Language groups meet up for practice and to share culture, students sip expertly prepared coffee while studying, strangers become acquaintances, friends catch up with one another and children plead with their parents for a delicious treat.
Walking by you’ll catch the wafts of espresso that linger down Main Street. Step inside Caffe Rustico and you’ll feel you’ve entered a bustling cafe in Rome.
Pizza, pasta and paninis, oh my! You’ll find all the Italian classics on the menu at this homey café in Mount Pleasant. Servers here have plenty of personality and love to banter with the regulars, making for a friendly and familiar old school European feel. Italian-born owner Mario Renzitti creates his signature baked lasagne with ground beef, tomato sauce and four different types of cheese, all served with garlic bread on the side. The enticing aroma of espresso wafting through the café means you’ll inevitably finish up your meal with an espresso con panna. Delicioso!
