    The service was very friendly. The lasagne was amazing. The house red was not to my taste but you can't have everything. A lovely little restaurant

    Some great flavours cooked very well. Its a well balanced menu with something for everyone. The pasta dish I had was full of flavour. Desert was home made and very much ticked the box Was recommended a white which was excellent value and exactly what was required Enjoyable evening

    We like Rustico and have never been disappointed. Straight forward menu, good service and a homely feel.

    The ravioli special was meant to be beef & mushroom. When it arrived, it was salmon! This had already happened to another table nearby, so how could it happen AGAIN? They took some money off our bill, but the experience was marred.

    Food was lovely but not enough variation for allergies and no chicken and no fish only salmon

    As always, we had a great meal at Rustico last night. The service, the food, the wine, the atmosphere, were all wonderful. Already looking forward to our next visit

    We have eaten here several times before attending a gig at the Apex and had good experiences. Unfortunately, the new menu has starters that are unrealistically expensive, for example, bruschetta at £12.75. We would normally have a starter and main course but this time passed on the starters. Suggest they offer some less sophisticated starters at a realistic price.

    The Salmon dish was very disappointing! The service was good and the nice waiter did take it off the bill which I appreciated! The food just wasn’t of a good standard in my opinion!

    This was our second visit, and the food was just as delicious as the first time. Our waitress was lovely, very friendly and efficient. We will definitely go back.

    The food was so bad, it's beyond belief. A 9 ish inch base masquerading as a posh pizza. Measly/barely there toppings. Lasagna was watery. This is supposed to be an authentic Italian Restaurant and it was anything but. Don't waste your money.. Humble Pizza Express is a much better bet...

    Really good service. Attentive staff. Friendly. Food excellent. Pasta was freshly made and that always makes a good Italian. I have been a few times and am always very happy with everything. Staff are always very good and make the experience extra special. Thanks all there and see you again soon.

    The only thing that stopped me saying the food was excellent was that the Arancini starter wasn't as hot as I would have expected it to be inside. It was also overpriced imo. Other than that, a great little place to eat lovely, tasty food.

    Rustico is probably the best Italian restaurant in Bury St. Edmunds. The food is always good and the atmosphere reminds one of a Tuscan Italian village. It's run by real Italians and they've recently changed their menu so if you've been already it's worth another visit to try the new items. Grazie Rustico!
