Dough leaps from chefs' hands and pirouettes in midair before donning Rustico Pizzeria's slew of fresh toppings such as pine nuts, taleggio cheese, and eggplant, with gluten-free pizza and pasta available upon request. The menu includes a variety of small and large plate options, and pastas arrive at tables draped in an array of slow-stewed sauces. A rustic dining room is decked with brick walls, hardwood floors, and sturdy chandeliers. Outside, a wooden patio affords pristine views of the Milwaukee River, and an ideal station from which to christen passing ships with bottles from the Italian wine list.
