Well Rustica, the finalé to the dining experience was a exceptional tiramasu and coffee....the main course of baked salmon in foil for me and steak for my wife was disappointing. The salmon came in the foil and the parchment was charred so when unwrapped left burnt pieces over plate and table. It was under seasoned and the accompanying prawns within were souless....tough as old boots.
The steak was very charred and overpowered the flavour.
The side salads were amateurish
and summed up the whole experience really.
We may be back in the hope that your rissotto and pasta dishes are your area of expertise but for now, La piccola Itallia across the street gets my vote for genuine Italian cuisine that is simply on another level.

To be honest I expected better, for starters I had the prawns which were fabulous, for main course I had the seafood risotto and this is where I was disappointed, the risotto rice was slightly undercooked and the quantity of seafood was really disappointing, 1 prawn, 1 mussel and 5 clams, I left thinking that a restaurant that had just been voted best in Wales was sadly lacking. My wife loved her squid ink linguine but again 1 prawn, 3 mussels and 5 clams. A neighbouring customer had pork steaks and it look fantastic. I will go back but will not go for a seafood dish as it seems that these dishes are light on quantity. Maybe others will think that I’m being picky but I expected more. I wish them well in their new venue and will give it another go, service was perfect and friendly, atmosphere was good despite it being a small place.

Thank you for your honest review and for giving us another try in the future — we truly appreciate it.We’re very happy you enjoyed the prawns, the squid ink linguine, the service and the atmosphere.Regarding the seafood risotto, our dishes are designed to balance quality ingredients with authenticity rather than large quantities. Fresh seafood, bottarga and ingredients prepared to order come with a significant food cost, especially at the price point we offer.That said, we completely respect your opinion about the portion and the rice texture. Risotto is always cooked fresh to order, and sometimes customers may prefer it slightly softer depending on personal taste.We always encourage guests to speak with us during service if something doesn’t feel right, as we’re always happy to help or adjust where possible in the moment.Thank you again, and we look forward to welcoming you back in our new venue.

I was greatly disappointed by this restaurant. My pork meatball starter felt no more “genuinely Italian” than I might have achieved at home with a jar of sauce and some frozen IKEA specials. The seafood ravioli was positively dangerous, but still somehow managed to be rather bland. There were razor sharp shell fragments hidden amongst the rice, one of which I bit down on, driving it between my teeth into my gum. This resulted in an experience so painful I leapt out of my seat, causing the decoration of myself and my neighbour’s vicinity with risotto. There were many shells in the mix, but I found that only one of them actually had an occupant - a single mussel amongst a plethora of empty shells. They hadn’t escaped into the risotto either, I looked intently. Bizarre! After being nonplussed by the starter and both puzzled and attacked by the main, I approached the dessert with a degree of caution and apprehension. My fears were, thankfully, not realised. The Nonna tart was delicious and beautifully presented. Too little too late though. Rustica left a bad taste in my mouth, literally. Dried blood I think…….

Have you actually read what you wrote?Because your review comes across as confused, exaggerated, and in parts simply not consistent with what we serve.What is more surprising, however, is this: during your visit our staff asked several times if everything was alright, and no issues were raised.It is always interesting how certain “dramatic experiences” only appear afterwards, from behind a keyboard, rather than at the table where any problem could have been addressed immediately.We take our work and our customers’ safety very seriously, which is exactly why reviews like this are difficult to consider credible.We are, however, glad that at least the dessert met your expectations.
