Just in case you want to drive by, they are located south, not north, of alki point. The description of this restaurant as not being like the other Italian restaurants in the Seattle area is correct. It more closely resembles a restaurant in Italy. Now, these can be wildly different from each other. But the indefinable things about restaurants in that country set them apart. La Rustica is as Italian as it gets around here. I'm going with a party of eight tomorrow (including one person from Milan) so there will be an update to this post.
