"I had lunch here yesterday and the staff were lovely, as was the food. However, the experience was slightly ruined by the fact that the restaurant was very cold. I had to eat with my jacket on, which was uncomfortable. I won't be returning until they put some heating on, especially since it's winter."

Nice pub under street level, but too nice to be called a dive bar. Food was good, service was fast and staff were friendly. My friends got the fish and chips and it looked great. They said it was excellent.

I'm in the Howff as I write. I've been buying disappointing chilli burgers for 30 years. This breaks the trend. The best one I've had in all that time and the best ever in the UK. I dare say there are finer examples out there, but I haven't found one.

Aberdeen's best pub grub. I was quite impressed when I went for a birthday supper with my family. The portion sizes are excellent, the pricing are reasonable, and the service was outstanding. I had a great experience and will hopefully return again soon!

The daytime waitress Amy was fantastic. She was very friendly and on her game. The curry we both had was very tasty! Amy went so far as to tell us about the upcoming Christmas event as well. Many thanks from Fiona and John visiting from Canada. We 'll be back for sure.

"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."
