Trattoria Rustica Description

Formerly the Old Princes Inn and re-opened in 1995 by Mario and Raffaella as the Trattoria Rustica, the restaurant combines some of the best of English architecture with Italian cuisine, hitherto relatively little known in this ancient Cathedral city where it seems at times that every other building is either a pub or a church. One of the joys of eating Italian is the breadth of choices, and Rustica is no exception.

Try starting with the antipasta Rustica, a bringing together of Parma ham, mixed Italian salami, mortadella ham, sun dried tomatoes, cheese, salad and garlic bread. The penne Marco Pollo with sultanas, rum, curry, cream, tomatoes, mixed peppers, olive oil, hot chillies and parsley caught my eye as well as my palate, though it was a difficult choice with spaghettii carbonara looking so attractive - crispy bacon, butter, egg yolks, cream, parmesan cheese and black pepper all combining to make such a typical Italian dish. With the Crespelle al Grand Marnier to finish there is little more to say beyond noting the excellent value for money at this well-run restaurant.

Whilst we have given a figure of £23 for the Av Cost per Head, a simple meal of pasta or pizza would clearly come to much less.

Your Reviews of Trattoria Rustica

Mario Ucci (1 August 2008)

Funghi trifolati is one of the most popular of Trattoria Rustica dishes, they are cooked in olive oil, garlic and white wine, they takes about 30 second to cook, why on earth will they use a microwave. As for the fish dish, it would be more decent to complain before the whole dish is eaten and expect not to be charged for it. The waiter apologised time and time again and explained that the fish tail is only used as an extra and is always put on the top to be seen before starting eating. As described at the top of the restaurant guide Trattoria Rustica has been established since 1995, it's no surprise that it is always very popular.

Sara (28 July 2008)

We have eaten there before and enjoyed it. On this Saturday night when we went back to the restaurant and it was full and table turnover was very quick. Our food arrived surprisingly quickly. The garlic mushrooms turned out to be deep fried and then micro waved and the penne Milanese contained pre-formed crayfish tails - not what I'd expect. The waiter wasn't particularly interested in our complaint. We were disappointed and unlikely to return.
