Cucina Rustica

went with family for birthday celebration. couldn't fault it, excellent food, the staff were friendly, polite and accommodating. had a fabulous evening.

One of the best restaurants in a while. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. Loved every minute x

Great find - visited twice in the past month as we enjoyed it so much the first time. Good allergy awareness. The staff are very friendly, interior is lovely and the food is excellent.

While visiting Birmingham from Canada in late May, we dined at Cucina Rustica on the recommendation of a friend who had enjoyed a meal here last year. This is a wonderful Italian restaurant with a great menu and a true continental atmosphere to it. Staff was very attentive, pleasant and welcoming. The rose as part of the table setting was a very nice tourch. After complimentary bread and olives, we ordered a dish of 3 different pastas, penne arrabiata, merlot wine, San Pellegrino water and a tiramisu to share. A thoroughly enjoyable dinner in a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our mid afternoon weekend meal here, the service was friendly enough, the maitre d could have been a bit more personable but he was clearly busy. We enjoyed the booth seat. I enjoyed the burrata but would have preferred some pesto or Basil leaves with it, rather than parma ham (personal choice), I'm told the fish cakes were good (plenty of fish not potato!). Penne arrabiata unusually came with lots of chopped peppers which I'd ask not to include next time and I like it a bit spicier but great crisp zucchini fritti and the brulée was perfection, smooth and creamy with fresh vanilla seeds and a very crisp, caramelised top which cracked perfectly! All in all a very nice meal and how lovely to be given some olives and small pieces of foccacia de la casa! Small touches like this compel you to return. Recommended and definitely reserve at weekends!
