About this menu
Rustico is an Italian restaurant on Union Row in Aberdeen, serving dishes that follow the familiar Italian running order of starters, mains and desserts. The starters include zuppa del giorno and bruschetta, the mains range through pollo con crema di funghi and ravioli di nduja, and the dessert section closes with profiteroles and gelato misto, so there is a clear path from starter to a sweet finish.
If your appetite is modest, you could stop after a starter such as zuppa del giorno, then add a dessert if you fancy something sweet. For a fuller meal at the table, take a starter, move on to a main like ravioli di nduja or pollo con crema di funghi, and finish with profiteroles or gelato misto. Because the menu is simply starters, mains and desserts, it is easy to decide what to order before you arrive.
