Our fave Italian!

User

Visited here on a Saturday evening when it was very busy. Food, service and atmosphere all excellent. Portion size I found just right. I can highly recommend.

User

One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to. Service was very good and food amazing... proper Italian dishes made from fresh ingredients and even the cocktails made from fresh fruits. I definitely recommend this place to everyone �

User

My husband booked here for a surprise treat and I am very pleased that he did!!! We were welcomed warmly, we had a drink at the bar before being shown to our table which was by the window, delightful. I chose the smoked salmon, crab and avocado starter which was heaven on a plate, followed by the beef ragu pasta, again, it was lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, the staff were attentive and knowledgable and we would certainly like to go again.

User

My family & I went to Cucina on Saturday night we where all very impressed with the service & the food. We will definitely be coming back

User

User

Lovely location, friendly staff, authentic food and reasonable prices this is one of my favs. The crab linguine is amazing! �

User

Love this restaurant. Highly recommend coming here. Had lunch with wife, service very good and staff attentive and welcoming. Food excellent, my wife had crab linguini and I had a rissoto and although maybe not a huge problem for a chef we were both pleased and enjoyed it. We come here once every couple of years when in the area. Price reasonable, a nice place to relax and enjoy your food. Booked again in November.

Just love this place! �

I really enjoyed my 3 course meal at Cucina Rustica. The food is amazing! I had the baked aubergine with tomato, basil and cheese for my starter and I had the ragatoni pasta with asparagus, spinach and courgettes with Parmesan cheese on top. For dessert I had the chocolate fondant with ice cream and that was divine. I would definitely recommend these dishes. The service was great, the staff were really kind.

User

Fantastic! Staff were so welcoming �

User

Fantastic food, very well presented by superb staff. And all at a very reasonable price. Have been several times now.

A delightful restaurant for any occasion.

User

Fabulous food, fabufabulous service. The staff were extremely attentive, yes this could be misinterpreted as them trying to rush you, but I genuinely didnt think this was the case. Once you ask for more time they leave you be.

Food wise - the steak beats Milller and Cater and even Gaucho.

Portion sizes were ample, my husband and i both have large appetites. It was more than enough.

We love this place. A truly wonderful dining experience. Thanks to every one who was working on 9th Sept.

User

Excellent italian food here - well presented clean and modern all good whenever we come keep up the good work ! AA++

User

Excellent in all areas! Party of 6! Ambiance was perfect! Food was faultless (swordfish and muscles were cooked to perfection) Service was great, booked a table at 8pm, arrived 5/10 mins early and we were seated immediately! Can't argue with the prices, great value for money! Really can't fault this restaurant! Best Italian I've been to in Birmingham to date 👌🏻👍🏻

My husband and I love Italian food and chose to try Cucina Rustica to celebrate our 1st Wedding. We both weren't disappointed. The restaurant was clean and didn't feel too cramped. Service was outstanding not having to wait too long between courses, but not feeling rushed. What can I say about the food? It was to die for <3

Luna who waited on us was lovely...

Will definitely be back.

Service was great and very friendly, food was delicious, wine chilled to perfection. Enjoyed every bite 😊

User

It was nice, the food was cooked well and the service was good, would definitely go again and recommend

User

Good restaurant with pretty speedy service. Difficult to judge whether its is better than pasta di piazza... up to you i guess!? Either way both are good.

User

Couldn’t fault the food or service. However, they did try to add an extra bottle of wine onto the bill. They removed this without quibble when queried but it unfortunately lost them the 10% service charge. With this said I would definitely visit again, but just advise people to check the bill!

User

Took my daughter and 6 of her friends here prior to going to Jam House. It’s a lovely restaurant and food was good at my previous visit. However, two had chicken and both had been slightly over cooked making the chicken dry. My Carbonara was not very creamy again slightly dry. The main problem was 2 of our party had a seafood pasta and a duck pasta, both had very bad tummy upsets this morning. They shared both dishes with each other so no idea if it was the seafood or duck that was the problem. So all in all not as good as before

User

Service just ok. Waited too long to order first drink. Food was great and arrived quickly when order.

User

This place was an absolute rip off for the service and the food that we recieved. First things first... the service... well it wasnt too bad but was far from a professional service. Twice we all recieved the complete wrong food orders with no understanding that we didnt order the food that came to us. Secondly... the food! What a bloody joke the food was. The bread basket in which we first recieved for a table appitiser was hard and dry... stale! Like it was left out on the side ready sliced for when people arrive. As previously mentioned we was then sent the complete wrong food with the staff having a massive confusion on why it wasnt our food... eventually our food arrived... dissapointment is an understatement to say the least... we ate what we ordered but only due to being too hungry to wait anymore. My friends dish came with the wrong sides on the plate. My dish arrived... it was 2 small over cooked dry duck legs with a drible of cold sauce and 3 tiny rock hard pieces fruit of some sort. My friend had sordfish and squid.. the squid was apparently undercooked (i did not try). By this point our second lot of unordered food arrived to the table with again a confusion in the fact that we did not order it. 3 of my friends had orderd steak.. all tough. And another orderd chicken which was tough and dry. I will be firmly NOT RECOMMEND this restraunt. Nearly £152 for lack of food, lack of service and lack of quality. Vile!

User

Real honest opinion! Portions comparison to price not worth it! You either need to increase the portion size or reduce your pricing to reflect what's on your plate! I wouldn't recommend dining there! Sorry my true opinion ! Only a couple of monthe prior I went to Santa carlos in Birmingham the service was good the food was great good option in terms of food and portion. Would really recommend Cucina Rustica really focuses on the customer if it wants to atract more customers.



Nice place for a drink but need to up there game if it wants me to recommend food. Sorry guys!!!
