Rustico

I feel this is one of the best restaurants in Aberdeen (not just the best Italian restaurant). The menu has so many choices. I had the slow roasted lamb shank on mashed potatoes, the lamb was melt in the mouth tender. The potatoes were smooth and savoury. There were 6 of us in our group. Service was great, all meals arrived at the same time and all were piping hot. The atmosphere was great, a real buzz. I also think it's very good value

The staff were nice and courteous; they took pictures of us when we asked. We had our delayed Christmas lunch on 10th January, and we very much enjoyed the menu and the ambience.

Unpretentious & honest family run restaurant.. went for an impromptu Saturday lunch and after spending just over 30 quid between the two of us, we could barely move. Not a Michelin-star type of a restaurant, but I don't consider it a bad thing - they do their own thing and it seems to work well. Slight criticism, bruschetta was a bit bland, but considering it's January, and even in the height of summer you can't get decent ones in this part of the world - I still think the result was more than satisfactory. Not our first visit, and I'd hope to be returning for more

Good classic Italian food, very popular in Aberdeen. Seafood dishes cooked very well. Service was quite slow, we were in quite a large group but perhaps the restaurant found that a little overwhelming to cope with. Overall happy with the meal.

We ate dinner at Rustico during our weekend in Aberdeen and were super impressed by the quality of the food! Delicious starters and cooked-to-perfection mains with fresh ingredients. The staff was very welcoming and kind. The bonus is that the restaurant is dog friendly! 🐕 Will definitely come back to this hidden gem
