  “Birthday dinner at Cucina Rustica on Saturday night. Service was brisk throughout, and although we'd have preferred it a tad slower, there's a busy, hungry restaurant to cater for, so no complaints. Two from the specials menu to start, fish cakes and the vegetali marinati, both very tasty. Two bisteccas for mains, con funghi and al pepe verde, both well cooked, although a touch more resting for both ideally. Like the food menu, the wine list is comprehensive and competitively priced, with the Bocca di Lupo always a winner. A luxurious tiramisu to finish, the best I've ever had, accompanied by a couple of grappas and amaretto. Special mention to our wonderful waitress, Eriselda, both professional and charming. When we left just before ten, the place was still full whilst other restaurants we walked past were much quieter. I like Cucina Rustica a lot, and can't wait to go back. Thanks guys.”

  “Absolutely fantastic experience at Cucina Rustica. We visited as a group of three and couldn’t fault a single thing. The food was incredible from start to finish. We ordered the Tris di Paste, lasagne and Focaccia Romana, and every dish was full of flavour, freshly made and generously portioned. The Tris di Paste was a particular highlight, as it was a great way to try a selection of different pasta dishes, and the lasagne was rich, comforting and one of the best I’ve had. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a lovely authentic Italian feel that made the whole experience even better. The service was equally impressive – everyone was friendly, attentive and made us feel well looked after without being intrusive. For three people, we thought it was excellent value for the quality of the food, service and overall experience. We’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Italian food in Birmingham.”

  “Great authentic Italian restaurant serving delicious food with excellent gluten free options. Relaxed vibe lots of menu choices including some more interesting pasta sauces - duck tagliatelle, wild boar stuffed pasta parcels. There are also the classics, including lasagne with many layers of pasta. Service was attentive and accurate but not overbearing. Prices were very reasonable. Would return.”

  “I struggle to find a restraunt where every time I have been my experience has been exceptional, but this place does exactly this. The food is amazing every time we have been, even after a year of going here it’s as consistent as the first time. Pasta is cooked perfectly, lovely staff and a good atmosphere, if I do say one thing it has the best tiramisu I’ve ever tasted!”

  “I’m a solo traveller with work, I walked past this place and it was bustling on a Monday night so I booked for the Tuesday. I’d highly recommend as food and service has been great. Lovely little bowl of olives, bread and oils with my beer then salmon off the specials. So often the portion size of fish has been reduced recently, this was really generous, and great to have food so well cooked. I didn’t feel awkward on my own and the staff were great. Great little find, I’ll be back and the Grillo wine was deeeelightful! Thank you”

  “We had lunch here today, we shared a bruschetta starter, for mains we had Penne arrabbiata, which they added chicken to as an extra for us. and off the specials menu we had the King prawn & Monkfish linguine. All were cooked and presented very well, the food was delicious! The wine we ordered was a red, and was wonderful. This was a lovely restaurant, relaxed atmosphere, service was great, the waiter was very attentive. Would certainly recommend and are looking forward to our next visit.”

  “Absolutely loved my experience at this Italian restaurant. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The setting itself was beautiful such a lovely atmosphere that made the whole evening feel special. The food was top tier. Every dish was full of flavour and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. It’s easily some of the best Italian food I’ve had in a long time. It was also my birthday, and the team added such a thoughtful touch by doing something special with my dessert, which made the day even more memorable. Little gestures like that really make a difference. I’d highly recommend this place to any Italian food lovers definitely worth a visit!”
