We had the Antipasto Rustico and Polpette di Melanzane for starters, both of which were beautifully presented and delicious (particularly the Polpette di Melanzane). For mains, we had the Lasagna Nonna Gianna (not sure I have tasted a better Lasagna outside of Italy) and Cioppino...More

  Tucked between the Royal Crescent and The Circle we were glad we had made a reservation. Lunch menu had a variety of choices. Had the lamb fettuccini special – tasty and would have been even better if served on a warmed plate as it got...More

  Fed up with waiting for two months to get a table at Sotto Sotto? I thoroughly recommend the Rustico, which is an absolutely traditional family run Italian bistro with friendly service, excellent food, and reasonable prices. We had the final dinner of our honeymoon there...More

  Best Italian restaurant my fiancé and myself have ever been in UK. The place reminded us of Italy, it really felt like to be in our own hometown (we are both from Italy), the food was absolutely amazing and we were so happy to have...More

  Cosy atmosphere and lovely food. The menu is limited but very tasty. The specials are delicious., We had salmon ravioli and steak with rocket. The staff are very attentive. Reasonable price and worth a visit. We would definitely come back here.

  Dined here on a busy Friday evening two weeks ago. It was a lovely evening anyway as it was a rare close family gathering. Chose this place as it looked nice, was just down the road from our rented flat, and I love small, genuine...More

  After escaping the Christmas markets on a wet and windy Friday this was a very welcome refuge. The restaurant is quite small so I would recommend booking. I had the calamari to start which was spot on – it's a simple dish but so often...More

  Visited following a recommendation from our hotel. What an absolute fine. Really cute little restaurant with a simple but fantastic menu. The staff were all very friendly. Surprised at the value of the meal based on the quality and service. So very worth a visit.

  Great lunch, cost restaurant with friendly service. Had calamari with small salad all fresh and light as it should be. Good value, would recommend.

  Enjoyed some excellent Italian food from the set lunch menu. It was freshly cooked and tested really good. Only gripe would be slightly pricey glass of wine.

  We had lunch here in a nearly empty restaurant, but the food was good. Superbly fried calamari and lovely fresh pasta followed by tiramisu – memories of Italy. One friend had sea bream which was beautifully prepared

  Cosy, friendly, delicious food, delightful staff, pure Italian magic. In Bath with a group of old friends and booked more in hope than expectation. We ended up having a delightful evening and will book again next time we are in Bath.

  We come here fairly regularly – the food is great and we like the family feel of the restaurant. But we don't drink and the soft drinks are very limited – no alcohol free Peroni, elderflower presse, ginger beer or mocktails eg Peach Bellini -...More
