Our Story

“Rustica “is a new restaurant from chef Jean Maire Josselin located at the Silverleaf commons St Augustine Florida.

Chef Josselin is a cookbook author with a career that spanned over three decades.

Rustica’s menu philosophy is driven by global flavors reflecting how chef Josselin likes to eat, flavors from the Far East, India, and Europe.

Familiar flavors are done in a new way, creative, organic, and locally sourced.

We believe in community-based partnerships with our farmers, ranchers, and other vendors to help create a viable local economy.

Our goal is to create a restaurant that has a neighborhood feel but with regional and national stature, we want to be recognized as a top Florida establishment with a unique view on fine dining, with a service that is comfortable, friendly, and knowledgeable, a cocktail and wine program that is modern, interesting and evolving.
