Part of a local chain and so menu, and general atmosphere, décor is the same as their other Rustico branches (which is great). This is a rather small branch with just a handful of tables, but we hadn't booked and were able to grab a table without issue.
Opted for the Cannibale pizza this time around and it was cooked well and loaded with toppings. Can always recommend Rustico.
Two extremely tired hikers… exhausted and hungry…walking towards the station… aroma of fresh baked pizzas fill the air… what do they do?
Well offcourse hop in and order two individual pizzas and hog!
Was greated by a cheerful Emma!
They were baking fresh hot pizzas. I got a Vegetariana and my friend got Pepperoni. They have an offer running… if you take away it’s £9.50 for a 12inch pizza!
So so worth it! Was so tempted to try the tiramisu but skipped it so that I don’t guilt trip later. But by just tasting the pizza I assure everything they make is with love!
The other people in the restaurant had pasta and if you looked at their empty plates you would know how yummy it was!
Rustico’s is a must when visiting Hastings! Delicious, fresh food. Staff is friendly, accommodating, and attentive. Emma was great as our waitress! Made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our meal!
Excellent food with an authentic Italian vibe, genuinely lovely people and very reasonably priced. Also the only place I have ever found that does a tomato-free pizza, as a pizza-lover suddenly allergic to tomatoes I am in heaven. Everyone I have taken here loves it, even the picky eaters. You will be full up, but oh my gosh try to leave some space for dessert.
Lovely place to have dinner - the food was freshly cooked and delicious. I was served quickly by friendly staff and the atmosphere felt very authentic. Possibly the best Italian food I've had outside of Italy.
Really enjoyed our meal here. Pizza was lovely. Good variety of drinks available including Sparkling Coffee !
My 5 year old grand daughter loved the music and sitting in the window seats.
Good value for money . Friendly service. Definitely going back.
Had a really nice early evening dinner here on Saturday. A party of six (adults and children) all with different tastes but there was something for everyone and really reasonably priced too. Service was great, staff lovely. Our waitress was Emma and she and the team couldn't have been nicer or more attentive. x
Brilliant service, and food. Definitely recommend and has a real rustic Italian charm.
A nice meal had here with fun ambiance and good value options. We had 3 courses. I enjoyed the Italian beer too.
Recommend the fried street food starters - yummy with a cold beer- and the Sicilian canoli.
This was a great evening, Hastings Bonfire night, and Rustico near the start of the parade. We had a bar-style table looking out onto the street, the atmosphere as we watched the different groups in the parade assemble, and people being given free cookies and hot-chocolate across the street by Holy Trinity Hastings, was wonderful. The service and was good and considering the busyness of the evening, amazingly quick. We'll done Rustico!
