    The food and service were great. The noise was too much - we could not have a conversation without having to yell across the table. We pre-ordered a cake for 4 people, purchased based on photos sent which were VERY misleading indeed. For $40 it barely covered enough for the 4 people. Quite overpriced

    Staff were excellent. We were, however, disappointed with the quality of the food. It seemed like RSL food at Kingston prices. The Fritto Misto Di Mare (main) seemed like frozen prepared battered seafood and had little flavour. Also, my wife ordered a margarita and it's the first time I've ever seen her not finish it. It was far too sweet.

    My partner and I enjoyed our evening out at La Rustica. We were given the table I had requested (outside) and it was lovely on a balmy evening. The restaurant was full and buzzing, so it was nice to sit outside in the calm. The service was excellent - friendly, professional and efficient. The staff checked in on us several times to ask if all was good. The food was good, honest fare, which I can't complain about. The only reason I have rated it down a little is that it was not exceptional in my honest opinion. However, this would not stop me from returning as the overall experience was very enjoyable. Scallops were overpowered by the warm tomato salsa. Tuna Carpaccio - quality of tuna was great but the vinaigrette lacked flavor and was bland Husband loved his beef brisket with mash as a main, with the beef beautifully cooked. Pollo Verdura - chicken was beautifully cooked, however, aubergine and zucchini were overcooked (quite crispy rather than lightly charred) Thank you :-)

    The Food is delicious, the service great, the location is nice being on the water. I recommend this restaurant as all the dishes on the menu are great and there is plenty of variety to choose from.

    Went there for a birthday lunch for 6 people. Excellent food and the staff were brilliant to deal with. We will be going back there again.
