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.
