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.

First time as a family we have eaten out for Christmas and what a beautiful experience. All the staff were welcoming helpful. The food was beautiful, the restaurant was lovely and added to the experience was the live singing which was also lovely. All diners seemed happy so this added to a beautiful experience. Yes eating out is more expensive but I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I will be revisiting in the year. Thankyou for making our first Christmas eating out experience so wonderful that we all want to repeat next year.

We went for our Christmas lunch & there was supposed to be 8 but only 5 could make it. We all had 3 courses and wine & the food was perfect, only disappointment was they’d run out of Tiramisu 😂. It was refreshing that we didn’t have to pre-order our food or have to have the normal Christmas meal. I’d have booked for NYE but they didn’t have availability. Thank you to all the staff for making it such an enjoyable experience & wish you all a very merry Christmas 🤶
