what people are saying...

"Thank you again for such a splendid meal. Your attention to detail and your generous portions were outstanding. I don't think I've ever eaten better lasagna. I had enough leftovers next day to feed 12 members of my family, and they too were very complimentary. I will mention your name with much praise whenever catering is mentioned."

"My first experience with Rustica Catering was during a "surprise dinner" organized by my wife for my birthday anniversary. She had asked chef Raffaele to prepare a 7 courses meal for four persons. What an experience we had. They provided absolutely everything. The setup of the table, the unique choice of the plates added a tang to the food. The meal was incredible, and the service top notch. Even if my kitchen is near the dinning room it was quiet over there. They managed the preparation, the cooking and the cleaning without disturbing us. We had a fabulous evening. For a unique experience, I can highly recommend chef Raffaele and his colleague. We look forward to our next dinner with them, sooner than later."

Raffaele is at the Riverview Country Market in the winter most Saturdays from 11am to 3pm serving samples of dishes that can be prepared from in-store products.  He will be providing recipes, which will also be updated here on the website.

Some Pizza-making Tips:

● If your dough is too elastic and difficult to work with, wait about 10 minutes and try again

● Brush a little olive oil on the dough before putting on topping to help prevent sogginess.

● Cook your pizza at very high heat.  I often cook it on a stone at a pre-heated 500 degrees.     

   Keep an eye on it though because it cooks quickly.

● At the half-way point spin the pizza to even out the cooking.  You may even try adding the 

   cheese at this point so that it melts without browning.

● Invest the $10-$20 in a pizza stone!  You will get a beautiful crust.  Always preheat it to high

   heat around 500 degrees. 

● Try using shaved ham instead of pepperoni.

● Try throwing on some fresh herbs at the end when the pizza is out.

● Try cutting the cheese in small slices rather than grating it.

● Try replacing pizza sauce with straight tomatoes crush with your hands.

● The best pizzas are the ones with a few simple, fresh ingredients.
