In my opinion its the best restaurant in Aberdeen! As I've mentioned above, I've been in Rustico on numerous occasions and am still to be dissapointed! Which lets hope, will never happen!

i was warmly welcomed to the restaurant. It seemed a bit small, or maybe its only me as i just hurried in and nearly knocked out the waiter while taking of my coat :D
the choice of food as always very big. Its so hard for me to choose. I had ceasar salad. It was very nice. the plate was big and full. I thouroughly enjoyed the food.
Staff was friendly as well. I guess we left the last ones and noone asked us to hurry or smth :D and it was already 11:30

We took the brave step of trying this restaurant for the first time on New Year's Eve, that bastion of dreadful conveyer belt food, with the in-laws.

No such complaints at Rustico. The food was a little slow to come out, but the bread basket with olive oil, pesto and vinaigrette dips staved off the hunger.

When our meal finally arrived it was worth the wait. The bruschetta was perfection, and the parma ham and melon tasty and well-balanced. The pizza was "proper Italian" with a thin base that was crisp without being overdone. The one member of our party who had opted for a pasta main course was impressed by the blend of flavours in the dish.

The restaurant sports a pretty decent wine list too. The limoncello to finish (courtesy of the house) was a very nice touch.....

The service was superb start to finish. Despite the fact that we were four of very many hungry people being catered for that night, we felt that no request was too much trouble for our charming waiter.

And not too pricy either, to my delight. Whether this restaurant or Ciao Napoli is the best Italian in Aberdeen is a hotly debated topic among Italian food lovers in the north east, but our New Year's Eve feast with Rustico will prove hard for CN to beat....

I'd advise you to book well in advance as Rustico's usually gets booked up pretty quick - always a good sign!! The restaurants beautifully laid out and very comfortable, and you always get a warm welcome. The menu is always so difficult to choose from as it all sounds excellent and you really are spoilt for choice. The actual food is lovely and definitely worth every penny – it’s all cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating and although the restaurant gets very busy at weekends it’s perfectly suited to romantic evenings out, dinner with friends or a family meal. It’s worth a visit for lunch as well, not as busy as in the evenings, but just as good.
