Date night!!* Perfect place to enjoy your partner's company... The food came so quickly and was exquisite!! The wine was extra special as it was the same wine we had at our wedding!! Yvonne was a very good waitress!*
Decided to visit Rustica for a pizza and pasta date. I was slightly apprehensive initially after seeing less than great reviews on Zomato, but I gave them a shot anyway and I'm glad I did.
What a beautiful setting, with low lighting and soft music playing in the background. The waitrons as well as the owner are friendly and make you feel at home. There's also ample parking opposite in P12.
We ordered the arrabbiata pasta with spaghetti - crushed cherry tomatoes, chilli, garlic, basil and rocket. I feel there could've been a bit more sauce, but it was delicious.
We also ordered the Milan pizza - spinach, feta, butternut and garlic. I added a little Tabasco sauce and it was perfect! Perfectly crisp, thin base and the portion was just right.
Food was served within 15 minutes, and both meals were really tasty. I'll definitely be back.
We had a great meal here. Menu has something for everyone including pizza and pasta and a choice of Meat, chicken fish & vegetarian. Good wine too and attentive staff. Will be back again soon!!
A real local gem that we have been back to regularly. The staff are friendly and food is very tasty and well priced. The atmosphere is casual without being too relaxed. It's our go to for an easy night out!
Highly recommended . Had a great special on Monday , Pizza/pasta and bottle wine for 2 for 220ZAR, bargain considering the location. The pizza and pasta would please a Neapolitan and the South African wine was fantastic. First class service was the cherry on the top. Highly recommended.
Rustica is by far one of the best restaurant environments I have ever experienced, from the stunning decor to the lovely attentive staff! The restaurant is situated in a great location with a beautiful outside area. Definitely recommend trying the Torieno pizza as it will knock your socks off, big points guys!
Visitors to Cape Town we had a really good meal here with friends. We would recommend it to anyone looking for good food and attentive waitrons. Tasty, good portions and an array of choices. Great pizza ... eaten many in my time and this was one of the best. My friends all enjoyed this choices too including lamb shank. Going again that's for sure.
Lovely food in a comfortable setting.
Today I had the salmon with pistachio crust, the salmon was cooked just how I like it and the crust added an extra dimension- a richer taste and a little crunch without over powering the salmon.
They managed to do what most restaurants struggle to do... cook risotto right! So big points there.
Very nice lunch
What a lovely evening spent in this Italian Inspired restaurant. Lovely decor, conveniently situated, friendly staff, and delicious food. My salmon was melt in the mouth and my friend's Osso Bucco Tortilini was just as good. We finished off with the cheese cake. (in pure Capetonian Style - Jirre dit was leka)
This was not out first choice for lunch, but as our first option was closed, we decided to Rustica would do...We weren't disappointed by the food, but the lack of liquor licence. We were able to buy wine nearby and they never charged us corkage. The food was delicious and the service was great. The only thing we waited for was ice for our wine, but with the chill in the air that day, it wasn't really necessary after all.
Had a fantastic experience at this Italian Inspired Restaurant. Waitress were friendly. Manager present. Our food was great. Thin crust Torino Pizza was delicious and my patter has salmon which she described as sublime. If you go don't Don't forget to taste the cheese cake and teramisu - delicious.
Amazing food.....a few has heaters would make the place abit more cosy
Best breaky deal in town: R40 for coffee and eggs-bacon-mushrooms-tomato-toast. Very tasty too. Warm service with a smile too. I will definitely be back!

Brilliant location, options of inside or outside. Outside better, service pace a little slow, cannelloni the best I've tasted. Fish good, bottom a little bitter. Otherwise a pleasant experience.
A good Italian, not in the most crowded section of town. I enjoyed a very quiet and delicious lunch.
Our waiter was great and the food was. Very cosy and intimate atmosphere
Good food, lovely setting. Will definitely go back
