Came to cucina rustica for my christmas work meal I was served by the young guy his name began with m unfortunately I cant remember but he was lovely. And the service was brilliant and food was brilliant!
I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday here with a group of four people, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere . The food was exceptionally tasty. Every dish was perfectly prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. It was clear that great attention is paid to both quality and detail. The atmosphere deserves special mention. It is cozy, lively, and genuinely pleasant, making it a perfect place for celebrations and relaxed time with friends. The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional, which made the whole experience even better. I would happily return to this place again and can confidently recommend it to anyone, who is looking for delicious food, excellent service, and a fantastic atmosphere. A great spot for both special occasions and casual visits.
Went for our works Christmas party, it was such a wonderful night. Food was amazing and the service was lovely; Josh was brilliant and helped us when we had our bill drama. Can’t recommend this place enough!!
What a truly wonderful experience! From the moment we stepped in, the cosy and intimate atmosphere set the tone for a perfect evening. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel instantly relaxed and welcome. We had pasta and risotto for our mains, and both dishes were absolutely mind-blowing, rich, authentic flavours and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the love and care that goes into the food here. The staff were equally fantastic, warm, attentive, and genuinely lovely throughout the night. It’s rare to find that kind of service paired with such exceptional food. Highly recommend for a romantic dinner or a special catch-up, can’t wait to go back with my family.
Charming restaurant with lovely decor. Friendly staff and good service. There are a number of veggie options that can be made vegan, but it's unclear which these are and the waitress needed to check with the kitchen. Would be easier to just have them marked on the menu instead. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a vegan mushroom risotto and vegan gnocchi, which tasted lovely. Our other guests enjoyed their food too. The warm chocolate pudding was lovely and not too sweet.
