About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
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.

    We went for dinner on a Saturday night. The place had a great atmosphere, but not too noisy. It was hard to decide from the menu, so many dishes I liked the look of. All of our food was delicious, especially my prawn starter. Can’t wait to return.

    It has been a while since I last came to this beautiful serene restaurant. I enjoyed my pollo della casa. To the ambience and to the staff everything was perfectly perfect.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the taste of all the food we had, particularly the trio of pastas. The restaurant has a lovely warm ambience in a relatively quiet area of the Jewellery Quarter, great to be away but just a short walk from the busy part of the city centre. The staff were welcoming and friendly.
