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.

    Great service and amazing food! The wine was a little bit of a let down as there was not much sweet wine option but nonetheless had an amazing time

    We were running late and the restaurant was very accommodating for which I was very grateful. It was Valentine’s Day so very busy. The ambience was warm and busy. Service was great. Food was nice but would recommend added touches such as different mushrooms for the risotto, some greens. Good range of wines.

    Me and my partner went for valentines evening. As soon as we arrived we were struck by how great the service was. A warm welcome and a quick and friendly service. We had drinks and our food orders were taken within 10 minutes of being seated. Even though it was extremely busy we didn’t have to wait or ask for anything but also didn’t feel rushed. The food was delicious paired with a beautiful bottle of gavi di gavi. I can’t recommend Cucina Rustica enough! Thanks guys for a fabulous evening you were superstars!

    My wife and I had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner. We started with calamari and a fish cake, both of which were delicious. For the main course, we had ribeye steak, cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The red wine (Primitivo) paired beautifully with the meal. We ended with a refreshing lemon sorbet for dessert. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff, and the atmosphere was fantastic—perfect for a special evening. However, it was pricey.

    This place is lovely. Suitable for couples, friends and families. The atmosphere is lovely, it’s immaculate, menu choices great! And it has the best desserts menu of any Italian restaurant I’ve ever been to. The portion sizes are perfect and we enjoyed every morsel of the high quality food. We will definitely be back!
