Reviews Rustico Hove

I walked past this place and my pizza Spider sense told me I had to visit. I actually was going to another pizza spot to review. It was Saturday night but not busy at all. I got a table and the place is dog and disabled friendly. My server recommnend the seafood pizza which I took. It came quickly and was really really tasty. I was not asked if I wanted pepper or parmesan on it but that's fine. I had a beer and then had the left overs to take away, which was no issue. Overall this is a great spot that is very reasonably priced. The service is great and the location is easy to get to.

My first Eat Out To Help Out! They took AMEX - Think Big Shop Small (Spend £10 get £5 Back) Looking for a nice restaurant locally we found this small chain in Hove. So we hobbled over after being advised we didn't need to pre-book. Signed in (Track & Trace). We saw all staff wearing face masks. We were shown to our table. Nice outdoor seating (inside was available), nice sunny warm day. It was quite a busy evening normally not so but with the government Eat Out Scheme plenty of people were taking advantage of it! Jack our friendly helpful waiter wearing a face shield, was polite and chatty and made us feel welcome and was very helpful throughout. Also attentive! We placed our orders from the primarily Pizza Based Menu. However there were other items on the menu to choose from. So we ordered Garlic Bread to share & Arancino Seafood Rice Balls x2. Never had one of these before ; not a mega fan of rice however was sumptuous, well cooked & very tasty. We waited sometime for the mains; however we were not in a rush and its nice to chill. They were very busy due to the scheme. For mains - I had seafood Pizza with Anchovies & Artichokes as extras; not many places seem to do this! Really tasty dough; thin base and tasty pizza with the extras it really gave it a kick! Couldn't eat it all so I had a doggy box. And my Mum went for the Rusticotto Ham & Mushrooms & Pineapple (no Tomato). She ate most an again found the dough was luverly and not too heavy as is always my concern with pizza! For desert I had to go for the Cannoli Siciliani Pistasshio, with an ice cream scoop; as was in a display cabinet and had choose me written all over it. I would of had 2 but need to watch my weight! It was so moreish! My Mum enjoyed her Pastiera di Grano. I finished of with a loverly large coffee (great value) and herbal tea for my Mum. We went premium for food but using 2 promotions made the meal out very reasonable. Normally I wouldn't have a desert. Otherwise I guess average reasonable prices. You could eat cheaply here or you can go premium. Otherwise our meals would of cost around £20 each with promos it kinda worked out around £5 each. This place has a good format, nice settings, friendly staff, good food! A nice small local micro chain that you have to check out!

Great food and nice selection of pizzas and Italian dishes. The service is friendly and relaxed. The garden at the back is very cosy and a nice little gem to sit in in the centre of Hove

Lovely pizza, great service and good price. They are also open for delivery or collection which is great at the moment Down the road from us so great to find another good place locally.

Excellent vegan pizza!! I love this place! The garden is really nice! I would definitely recommend! The staff is really friendly!

We are a pizza-loving family (and we have high standards). We tried Rustico on Portland Rd last night and it was outstanding. Pizza is delicious and the atmosphere is warm and very Italian :) So happy to have such a great family restaurant like this in my neighbourhood.

We had decided to come to Brighton from Eastbourne for my daughter to do some work on a photography assignment and she had put in a request for pancakes whilst we were there. On walking past the Coppa Club we noticed they did brunch til 4PM including the much sought after short stack! We were shown to a table and given a menu. The place was not very busy at this point. We ordered fairly quickly and two good hot almond milk flat whites and a big OJ turned up very quickly and we spent some time chatting and people watching! However after 30 minutes we were getting very hungry and after 35 minutes, I asked the waiter how much longer the food was likely to be. He apologised and said it was next up. Ten minutes later the manager approached without any prompting by us and apologised profusely and told us we would not have to pay for anything we had ordered! Although we did have a long wait, I thought the fact that he had noticed and immediately offered this gesture of goodwill was very good service. The food arrived shortly after. It was hot, fresh, well presented and very tasty. The staff checked on us again and apologised. Despite the long wait, I would definitely return. It was clearly an error that was quickly noticed, rectified and the food was good. Well done Coppa for sorting things out.

Amazing food! Great selection of different things we hadn't tried before, that the really friendly and helpful staff were happy to suggest for us. Love the decor! And the garden is like a little Italian oasis 😍

Lovely restaurant with a chilled, family vide and tasty, reasonably priced food
