    Very good food and wine selection. Clean, tidy and quite attentive staff. We went on a Wednesday lunch and the ambiance was excellent… great weather also helped. We’ve already decided to come back and try more of the menu.

    Food was OK but the noise level at 7.30 p.m. on a Saturday night was dreadful. Our waitress was very helpful but the noise was so loud we departed as soon as we could.

    Great food and service. We have held our christmas dinner for our company three times and throughley enjoyed ourselves every time. I have been many times other than our christmas events and enjoyed ourselves every time. I highly recomend La rustica for any occasion.

    The service was efficient, friendly and nothing was too much trouble for the staff who waited on our table. The food was delicious and enjoyed by everyone in our group. There were a couple of people in our group with loss of hearing and they found the loudness was amplified through their hearing aids. When they removed their hearing aids to counteract the noise levels, their ability to hear conversation was diminished.

    Such a lovely and welcoming restaurant to enjoy delicious meals with excellent service. The option to sit outside under cover and enjoy the ambience and sunset is wonderful; heaters and blankets for the colder months are ideal for Canberra's climate. I recently celebrated a milestone birthday with a large group of friends at La Rustica and everything was fantastic. We had a range of dietary requirements to cater for, and the staff could not have been more helpful. Definitely one of my top five places to dine out in Canberra.

    Excellent food with a wide selection of dishes available. All staff were very professional but importantly also very friendly and looked liked they enjoy being there. That all made for a very enjoyable evening. We will definitely be back!
