Best spaghetti I've ever had in my life & the recipe hasn't changed since I worked there in college. Easily one of the best restaurants Clinton has to offer...

There are several entrances, we didn't know about the side entrance so we parked on the street and went in the front. We were there kind of early for dinner so they were not busy at all, however they sat us in a small room up a couple steps next to a very loud family. I understand putting the customers close make it easy on the servers however it made for a very unpleasant dining experience for us. That family asked to be seated on ground level to avoid the older lady with a cane having to navigate the steps but the hostess told them loud enough for us to hear the 2 steps should be ok for

Went for lunch and they were extremely busy. Gabby was our waitress and she did an excellent job! Such a sweet girl. Hope she is our waitress when we go back!

The food was good. Ate in Tuscany room for a group event. Would have liked a few more stops at table to see if we needed more tea, watet or coffee. Roast pork was delicious. Everyone remarked how good the apple pie.

I have never been here and my extended family has lived here since I can remember. Now I know, I have missed out. I am delighted by the old school feel, Riunite Lambrusco, and the food. Crust on the pizza was a little crunchy and soft too. The chicken parmesan was a nice size and needed a little more sauce for me. The sauce was a a deep flavor and I can't put my finger on the spice but maybe sage? A lot of sage? If it had too much more of that flavor, I wouldn't have liked it. Homemade bread was dense and sweet. Loved the olive oil on the table. I want to try the marsala!

Terrible Italian beef sandwiches. I had never been to Rastrelli's in my life. I have always wanted to. I ordered 2 Italian beef sandwiches for take-out. I went in right when they were closing for the afternoon. They were not thrilled about making anything. Seemed like they didn't even want to do my order. Sloppy. Terrible marinara sauce. Unedible. Very disappointed.

We attended a meet and greet dinner for my husband 's new employer. We have always loved the food and they make the best cherry cokes but last night there was hardly any grenadine in the soda and not one cherry. Also we had to ask more than once for refill on soda and water. Ther was only one waitress for approximately 40 people. Definitely not the service we are used to.

Road trip....Indiana to Clinton, Iowa!!Outstanding food and service in Clinton, Iowa.
We ordered the delicious Lasagne bolognese and meat tortellini. Both were steaming hot and full of flavor. The portions are very generous. The menu selection is full and the service is prompt and friendly.
We took several pizzas, fresh homemade bread and of course, the signature cabbage salad for take away. Can't wait to get it home.

This is Clinton's go to Italian restaurant. A nice little family owned restaurant which had been operated for many decades. The lay out of the facility is unique. The decor and overall inside could use a make over. The food itself was above average for a local Italian joint, but not authentic. Will return again.

This is a nice little restaurant for the Clinton area. The restaurant itself is unique inside. It is divided into several rooms each with its own "theme". The place itself is due for a refreshing makeover. The food was average for an Italian establishment but not necessarily bad. I though the prices were somewhat high for the food that was provided. The service was adequate.

Awful. Food was just dismal. The cook staff and management should be embarrassed at what they bring to the table.

Waitress forgot my drink, then took at least ten minutes to run my check. The place looks very run down and tired.

A great traditional family-owned restaurant on the north side of Clinton. Wine and beer selections are excellent. Entrees and sides are well presented, comprehensive menu offers something for everyone. Excellent facilities for banquets and large groups, as well.

I travel to the area for work and this is the best restaurant I've been to.

I got the filet mignon with loaded mashed potatoes, corn, and the buffet garden bar. I thought the salad bar was absolutely delicious! I get a little weirded out at buffets, but I really enjoyed it. The filet mignon was very tender and tasty as well.

I thought the service was less than desired but they seemed busy. Either way, I would absolutely return!

Nearly everything on the menu is good. I personally prefer the buffet. You get seated in one of the back rooms. Quiet and relaxing. Beautiful inside.

Plenty of food. Their pasta is the best you'll have anywhere. So is the sauce. Fresh homemade bread. I don't like thin crust pizza. But what I had here was delicious. And an eye pleasing salad bar to go with it. I skipped my diet for one night. Apologies to my doctor.

From the hostess to my waitress and everyone else. My friends and I were treated great! I'll happily be making a return trip to downtown Clinton for dinner at Rastrelli

Excellent family environment! Great spaces for large gatherings or small intimate setting. Our family has been coming here for years! Salad bar and personal pizza for $10.95! You can't beat that! Great service and awesome food! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Wether you're looking for a night out for dinner or take out, they will not disappoint!

What a joke! I've been eating here a couple times a month for the last few years. I always ask for a big bowl of bbq sauce my tenderloin. It's never been a problem before. This time, they sent the waitress back to tell me that would be four bucks. Instead, they gave me one tiny plastic cup of bbq sauce, and didn't bother to warm it up as I requested.

Do yourself a favor. Eat at a restaurant that appreciates their customers.

Vote with your dollars and eat at Applebee's, Jenny's, Village Inn, or Buffalo Wild Wings. They know how to take care of their customers.

Walking in Rastrelli's, you sense a genuine peculiarity about the place. It's old school, dated and weathered. The distinctive wall murals demand your attention, as you constantly look over your shoulder.

A place stringent with rules and regulations. 'You can have this, but only if you have that...no compromise or deviation.

But none of that should really matter in a place known for pizza; Rastrelli's is apparently trying to reinvent the 'wheel'...uh pizza.

I didn't see it on the menu, but Rastrelli's offers a 'tasteless' pizza. Kudos, because

I've been eating at Rastrellis a long time and the Prime Rib dinner I had last was the worst prime rib I've ever had, even though the Waitress gave us good service. The low quality meat was very tough even though they tried to conceal it by cooking it a very long time. Some parts could not be cut with the steak knife and other parts were not chewable. Also, $15 for a glass of wine, day old bread, no cheese on the cup of French onion soup, and up-charges for any substitutions to the canned corn . Quality is going down And mama meatball would be embarrassed what her grandchildren are

Best salad bar in Clinton. This is a great place to meet friends for drinks and dinner. They have great white sauces, but their red sauce is a little too bitter for me. Their homemade bread is delicious and soups are always on point. They are invested in the community and that alone makes me love this place. It's a family owned restaurant and they take pride in how they feed and treat people. It shows.

This is another one of my favorite restaurants in Clinton. This place seems to go on forever because it's so big. I swear they never fill up, even though the parking lot is huge. The service is great, food is excellent, and it's huge. The real reason I come here is he food. I order the fettuccine Alfredo. I came here on my birthday one year and it was the best birthday dinner I'd ever had. I can't wait I return.

Glad to see after all these years the pizza has kept with tradition. Always nice to go back home and it will be consistently tasty. As far as salad bars go, it's as good as any salad bar. We judge salad bars on their cleanliness and it was very well kept. Wish they still gave out bubble gum at the end of the meal.

If I could give zero stars I would.
My family and I were in the Banquet hall after a funeral.
They totally took advantage of my dad, who was paying, and allowed others to tell them there would be an open bar, ( no open bar in the negotiations ) , Put out a salad bar instead of people purchasing individual salads, which is what was agreed on, and the pitchers of pop were more expensive than pitchers of Beer!!! $15 for pop, $10 for Beer! I'm now living in San Diego and even here $15 for a pitcher of pop is outrageous! Plus that day they were a 2 for 1 sale on their pizza, 2 toppings, (we

This place was ok Although a few of my group and a good meal the over all what is your experience was not that great. It took 15 minutes to get an order of drinks and that included one bottle of wine to beers and the rest pop. They come around and give you your salad plates but do not pick them up before your entrée coming so you are struggling to know where to put your plate play she's trying to give you a hot plate. I had the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo I did not care for it very much at all it was too sweet and cute although my mother had the chicken Marcella and said that it was very good
