    Very overpriced for quite ordinary pub food. The swordfish was particularly bad - small, dry, overcooked with no condiments or sauce and cost $42. We won’t be back.

    Disappointing meal. We used to love this restaurant and haven’t been in a while. Bruschetta was made with supermarket loaf bread and was soggy and tasteless. Pasta Gamberi was tasteless and watery. Greens in it were overcooked. Mortadella and provolone salad contained about 3 tiny pieces of cheese.. Pizza was good. We were rushed through entree with plates being cleared before we were done and then mains came out immediately afterwards. Felt like we didn’t have time to enjoy and they wanted us out.

    Great food, great service. Being able to special order a birthday cake was a plus. Only thing is it's quite noisy at peak times

    We were a large group and la rustica were very organised prior to the day with a pre order form etc. and made sure all we had to do on the day was show up. The team that looked after our table and the chef did a wonderful job decorating the cake.

    It would of been better if we had one person allocated to our table, we had multiple people coming up asking the same questions. But food is always good. Thank you.

    Too hot inside. Maybe open the doors to let air in. Service felt rushed. No Parmesan offered for pasta dishes.
