"This is a really great place. It isn't often that a restaurant can provide good food and service but Rustico pulls it off. The Food: The dishes are a bit pricey £20pp isn't uncommon) and the meatloaf is to die for. They don't serve a caccetori, which I found interesting. And they don't serve marinara with the calamari, which is always cooked to perfection not overdone and rubbery, which is easy to do). The wine selection is good too a little pricey for the quality, but they've chosen the wines and dishes) carefully and they are presented without being pretentious. To me this is the best part. Good food doesn't have to be snobby. It can be nice, yet casual. Tasty, and down to earth. The Service: No matter what you order, you're sure to get personalized service without a rush. I also like the environment, too, because it is cosy. I often bring dates here because it is easy to feel like it is just the two of you having a chat and being served by your very own staff. To me the tables feel as if they are in a small country home. It is that warm and cosy inside. Also, my conversation is never interrupted by wait staff at Rustico. This is a big deal to me as I'm often on dates at this place, trying to get to know a new friend. The service is really spectacular. Truly. Special notes: Make reservations on the weekends as it books up. Also, don't be afraid to show up last minute without reservations because though they do book up, there are often spots left open from no shows. But definitely make reservations if you can."

A spur of the moment decision took my wife and I here but will definitely be planning a return visit. The food, the service and the place were all excellent, can't wait till the next time.

One of Aberdeens finer Italians. Good menu with some excellent specials. Service is friendly and efficient. It loses a few brownie points due to the prices which can sometimes seem fairly inflated.

This restaurant is the most welcoming, helpful and obliging my husband and I have been in in Scotland and the food was so good I just cannot put it into words and cannot wait to return. You must book as it is always full.

Good classic Italian food, very popular in Aberdeen. Seafood dishes cooked very well. Service was quite slow, we were in quite a large group but perhaps the restaurant found that a little overwhelming to cope with. Overall happy with the meal.

We ate dinner at Rustico during our weekend in Aberdeen and were super impressed by the quality of the food! Delicious starters and cooked-to-perfection mains with fresh ingredients. The staff was very welcoming and kind. The bonus is that the restaurant is dog friendly! Will definitely come back to this hidden gem View menu

This place is amazing we were a group of 30 on a Saturday night and every single one of us agreed on how incredible the food is! The lamb was succulent and tender, and the sauce on the chicken was heavenly. Service was fast and charming, despite the fact that we weren't the only large group in there. I really couldn't fault it. You won't regret trying it out.

rustico is an excellent italian staurant located in central aberdeen which is handy to get to. the food in here is excellent and has all the usual traditional dishes that you would expect from any italian restaurant but this one offers more adventurous dishes as well. there are always specials on here as well and the prices tend to be not bad for the amount of food that is on the plate. the staff are always very efficint slick and friendly with their service and thoroughly deserve a tip. this is a great choice of place for either a group of friends or for a date.
