Rubino Kitchen

Absolutely STUNNING! Decided to book a last minute reservation and completely delighted we did. Kya was a truly wonderful and attentive host. Even despite me asking for adaptions to the menu, and also changing my mind to a portion size mid way through our 5 course meal!!! The food was sensational, the scallops blew us away. So much care, love and detail went into each course. Its a shame we live on the other side of the country, but will definitely be coming back the next time I'm in Essex. Thank you again Kya.

I would give 6 stars if I could. A fantastic meal last night with family and friends. Restaurant buzzing with atmosphere, fantastic service and the food was amazing. Great wine selection and all very well priced. So lucky we do not have to travel far to this absolute gem of a restaurant. Recent investment in the seating shows continued drive to keep on improving. Difficult to improve on perfection, but they do. An absolute must visit.

We were on a staycation this week and it was our first visit here, so we chose to experience the set lunch menu. The restaurant has a lovely character and we requested to sit outside on the veranda as it was a lovely day. Even though the restaurant is located on a busy road, the location is peaceful and a lovely place to dine Food was excellent and we liked the 'anything is possible' approach to choosing a meal. We had an excellent main and a dessert for 20 pounds. This was accompanied with a well selected and reasonably priced viognier. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and responsive feel, as well as lots of cute extras such as arancini appetisers and a delicious palette cleanser. Definitely a new favourite spot for higher end lunch. We look forward to our next visit and would highly recommend.

Truly spectacular. This hidden gem in Essex is a must visit for any food lover. This beautiful independent restaurant creates fantastic dishes with locally sourced ingredients, the result is just magnificent. The chef would not be out of place in a michelin star kitchen, and the waitress (whos name we sadly didnt get) was perfect, she was friendly, courteous and very helpful!! I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and will be back with all family and friends. Please keep up the phenomenal work.

Rubino is the top restaurant in Colchester and surrounding area. Have been dining here for many years now, refugees from Chigborough! Imaginative food, great cooking, always reliable for any occasion too! It's a special place! Know the owner, genuine and thoroughly decent human being who tries really hard to provide the best experience and food in my opinion. Thank you for being here! Give up otherwise with fine dining!!!!

Had a wonderful lunch at Rubino Kitchen, Inworth. Heather took care of us and was very efficient, friendly and polite. We had: Salmon Gravlax, Beetroot salad, & Soup, followed by Guinea Fowl with Mushroom and Marmite Pearl Barley Risotto, Pickles Enoki, and the Braised Lamb with Potato Fondant and Broccoli. All were excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed the food, the ambience and service. Furthermore it was a pleasure to eat top quality food at a local restaurant without being forced into paying London prices. This is the kind of family run establishment the UK needs. Thank you very much, we’ll definitely be back.
