Reviews of La Rustica

This is a lovely, authentic (quirky), little Italian in Delph village. Lorenzo knows how to cook! If you want somewhere more authentic than a modern, standard restaurant with a huge menu, you really should give it a try, and support a small, local business. The pizzas are always great (no stuffed crust nonsense here) and the special, home made burger (2 delicious burgers in fact, in home made sourdough, not some floppy brioche, with skinny fries and slaw), was excellent. There's a review from a while back that refers to frozen food; absolute nonsense. Everything home made and cooked to order. Great food and service!

This evening was the third time that my wife, son and I have visited the restaurant in 3 weeks. Every single meal we have had as been exemplary. Let’s be clear, this isn’t a fast food, knock out the pizzas , type of place, with things mass produced. This food is made to order by someone who takes great pride in his work.,Homemade pizzas and pasta are obviously available ( my pizza specialist , who is 10, says the pizzas are the best ever), but it is the specials for me, that steal the show. Very much dependent on what chef bought from the market on the day. The fish tonight was exquisite . My wife and I both agreed that these were probably the best Italian meals we had ever had. That includes our recent trip to Italy. Give it a go, you won’t be disappointed

Great service and incredible food! The portion sizes were great, and the flavours were amazing! We'll definitely be coming back here again to sample more of the menu - what we did have was all amazing - 12 out of 10! Pictures are the Nduja and Potatoes Tapas, Vegetable Bruschetta Tapas, Seafood Pasta and Sirloin Steak with Tomato, Chili and Bean Ragu

I wasn't expecting much from somewhere based in an unconventional location but it really did impress me. The decor, staff and food were all top notch. The menu does change so take the menu below with a pinch of salt. However if you've been before and see something you like they'll happily accommodate you and try to make it for you. Give it a go!

Have just dined here this evening and I can only say good things. The food was exceptionally tasty. From the three types of garlic bread to start through to the mains which were all incredibly tasty topped off with gorgeous desserts. I had king prawn carbonara - wonderful! Other dishes we had were equally as tasty; a lamb ragu, sliced steak in a pepper sauce incredibly tasty to the point I had some severe food envy. In all honesty I think we’re going to have to return several more times as the entire menu looked amazing. Service was excellent from start to finish. Seriously impressed. I absolutely love Italian food and this little place is a hidden little gem tucked away in the Delph business centre. I honestly cannot say enough good things, it was quite possibly the nicest Italian I have had, and I have had lots and lots of different style Italian foods over the past few decades. Simply fantastic it really was.
