Very busy with no social distancing and tables a bit close to each other.Lovely waiter but his mask kept sliding down. We had scones jam and cream that tasted of ice cream coffee and tea.It was very good.

I really like Rustico when I eat in everything is perfect But the deliveries I have been getting lately are terrible roll and bacon for my Daughter was full of fat by the time I cut it all off there was nothing left. Black pudding was raw inside made me feel sick Cakes come all broken and melted as hot soup was put on top of them Very disappointing I just wish they would take more care and a wee bit more time to get things right as normally a great wee place to eat

Top marks well deserved to Rustico. Ordered a breakfast from them this morning through Just Eat and collected it from the restaurant. The food was spot on - a good substantial breakfast - Fried Egg, Square Sausage, one Link sausage, Black Pudding, Potato Scone & Baked Beans along with a slice of toast - it certainly keeps you fuelled for the day thats for sure! Will definitely be ordering breakfast from Rustico again. Definitely a five star rating, as I say.

Review edit: dont bother. The delivery food is mediocre and doesnt match the description on Uber Eats. There are nicer food places nearby more deserving of your money. Its ok - usually pretty busy and the staff sometimes dont acknowledge or serve straight away. Coffee is good but the food isnt amazing. Delivery food was fine but not amazing. A good option to have locally but its definitely better to eat in. The honey Cajun chips here are not the same standard as the ones from Nonna Rina next door! A good place for Mount

We had an impromptu visit here on Saturday the 2nd October. We were 2 adults and 3 children. We were warmly welcomed in from the wet by the young fellow in the door who quickly put a table together for us. They have an excellent menu which was very well explained by the waiter. Delicious soups, sandwiches, panini's, main meals all customizable. Very good tea, hot! In quaint cups. They also have a scrumptious array of sweets to accompany your tea and a mouth watering display of gelato I've creams.
Prices were reasonable. Service from the waiter and the girl behind the counter - excellent, friendly
