• Italian • Birmingham
Booked 19 times today
Fine Italian food in the very centre of Birmingham is Cucina Rustica's trademark, a comfortable, atmospheric Italian restaurant popular with both locals and tourists visiting this vibrant city. Although modern and slick in its execution, the choice of deep earthy colours and moody lighting, tactile materials such as wood and stone and the addition of characterful contemporary art and healthy, verdant plants give Cucina Rustica that slight traditional feel suggested by its name and a certain cosiness that gives it a home from home feel. Attention to detail is in every little touch here at Cucina Rustica, from the single rose placed on each table to the complementary olives produced on every guest's arrival. Equally, food is produced with great care, dishes traditionally Italian but done with flair and a certain amount of style, some unusual choices offered alongside classic favourites, all from the classic Italian cookbook and accompanied by a wide array of drinks.

    The place is very beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the food and was surprised by the portion sizes, very generous. Service was excellent! Food came in good time within 10 minutes and the Thai bubble tea was to die for! The waiter was very polite and nice and responded promptly to our requests. 10/10 no notes

    The steak was decent but didn’t quite stand out compared to others I’ve had. It was a nice touch that the sauce and butter were included, adding some extra flavor. The waiter was professional and polite, though their manner felt a bit abrupt at times. Overall, it wasn’t a bad experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement.
