Thank you for making our daughter's 40th birthday so special tonight. The food was as excellent as ever and the service outstanding. Look forward to seeing you all again soon. I throughly recommend Rustica for any celebration or just a nice night out with good food at reasonable prices. Thank you again.

Very disappointed with this restaurant. A party of 4 of us were really looking forward to this as part of a belated birthday celebration. 2 of us had already eaten at Tavistock restaurants previously and as a consequence we had high expectations of this relatively new restaurant. On arrival at our table the drinks and food orders were taken immediately, the staters and drinks were brought out soon after. The garlic bread was ok, nothing special. After finishing the starter, table was cleared and we waited around 20 minutes when a guy, whom I assumed was the manager came to ask if all was OK. We said we were still waiting for the mains to arrive and he replied " Just relax, that's why you came out tonight "! He kept dashing into the kitchen and coming out with an insulated bag, which we assumed were for delivery orders. We waited patiently for around another 45 minutes until I approached a waitress and told her we had waited over an hour for our main course. She said she would enquire with the kitchen staff as to how long this would be. She then returned to inform us it would only be a couple of minutes. The food arrived almost immediately after. 2 of the party ordered pasta dishes and the other 2 chose chicken dishes but all 4 of us were disappointed. The butter sauce which accompanied the chicken was brought out in a separate ramekin dish and was just lukewarm. The chicken dish was tasteless and the seafood pasta was mediocre too. We expected a lot more from this restaurant, particularly as it wasn't busy at all. We didn't envisage that we would wait over an hour between courses and we certainly expected good quality, tasty food! On the whole a very disappointed party of 4 who feel very let down by our experience. It seem like this restaurant prioritise food deliveries over the patrons who are in the restaurant and actually putting bums on seats! Neither of our party will return.
