We have been going to Il Rustico for nearly eleven years, the staff are wonderful and the Italian cuisine is second to none, we absolutely love it. If you want rustic Italian food in an authentic atmosphere you cannot go wrong. It reminds us so much of the restaurants we visited in Tuscany. also it is frequented a lot by many local Italians, and they must know!!

My friends & I went for dinner tonight 30-8-17. Booked table weeks before & requested a quiet corner. Luigi was very accommodating & got us a nice table . Staff welcoming , small but nice place. Good parking space in front of the restaurant . Good atmosphere & friendly service. I ordered linguine with fresh seafood...delicious. We all enjoyed our food. Next time I must try the dessert.

No se desanime por la ubicación y los alrededores. Parece que este restaurante está en un patio de constructores y a desanimarte aún más está al lado de un directores de funeral. Sin embargo, la comida aquí te hace pensar que has muerto y los ángeles están cocinando. El personal es fantástico. El magnífico ambiente. Pero la comida es el billete ganador. Fantástica selección de menú y los platos más sabrosos. Usted debe probarlo! ! !

You might not expect an Italian to be do the best 'full English' in the area, but they certainly do. We regularly go here and it is amazing. The quality of the ingredients sets this apart from any other place in the area, I couldn't recommend it more highly. Last night we went for our first evening meal at Il Rustico and, again, I wasn't disappointed; I almost don't want to recommend it so we can always get in!

This is a stunning Italian restaurant. Fantastic food, wonderful wine, great service. You could even imagine you were in a roadside restaurant in Italy. Plus they do a take away pizza service. This restaurant needs to be shouted about, this is Chobham's hidden wonder, family owned and run. Amazing food.

A mid-week family reunion, we had pasta followed by pizza. It was well-ccoked with good quality ingredients, we cleared our plates. The menu is wide-ranging but not too ambitious, just right in my view. The owner is from Napoli. Large car park at the front. Our waitress was new in the job but very friendly and helpful.

I went here with a group of friends for a Christmas meal. The food was superb - we had a variety of dishes between us, and all beautifully presented - and service was efficient and friendly, without being 'over the top'. Not only that, but the prices were very reasonable. I'll happily go back again.

It was a shame as I had high hopes given the reviews. The restaurant itself was cold and I had to wear my coat for most of the meal. The restaurant was not that busy but we had to prompt the staff to bring menus / take our order / clear the plates etc. The food was acceptable and staff were not particularly welcoming . Pizzas and garlic bread were the best option. Not good enough to return a second time in my opinion.

As we were a bigish party, 11 people, we were asked to pre order from the menu. However, on arriving we were not welcomed nor asked what we would like to drink. After waiting for half an hour one of the party had to prompt one of the two waiters to take an order for drinks. The first course wasn't served for neary an hour, the main course also took a long time to serve and when finished the dirty plates weren't cleared from the table. Some of the party had to leave as there was a young child and by this time it was very late. It was very, very disapointing especially as it was a special occasion. We will not be visiting Il Rustico again.

Four of us visited the restaurant on a Friday night, we had booked and were promptly shown to our table. After about 5 five minutes we were asked would we like to order, we replied that we would like a drink first, a little slip up in customer service here. After that the service was good and the staff very polite and friendly. The food was very good indeed, some of the best Pizza you could want. A good choice of drinks and a very nice menu. The only real issue (agreed by guys and girls) was that the toilet areas left a lot to be desired. They were grubby to say the least, the white doors were filthy around the hand plates and generally could have been a lot cleaner and better stocked with soap and hand towels. It is the little things that let some places down, the attention to detail is lacking at this restaurant. It is such a shame because the food was really nice, so I would say a coat of paint and better hygiene and cleanliness would make this place a must revisit.

Friendly service & excellent food.Ciabatta, Panini breads etc., are as you would espect from a good Italian eatery and not the bland basics you get in many other such eateries; pizza & pasta dishes were all highly praised by those who joined me.There is a good, varied menu however an observation is that there are limited salad dishes and most other dishes are with pasta, bread (or some form of grain) - so those on paleo diets will be limited from the menu - but just ask to switch some bits and these folk are more than happy to help.The location is a little unusual, but is easy to find and offers ample parking. Access is disabled friendly and the interior is exceptionally well maintained with an atmosphere that matches the name "Rustico"

We took our twin granddaughters to Il Rustico last week. We were running a bit late for lunch (it was after 2 pm) but the manager was happy to serve us. We did apologise for our late arrival, particularly when we realised that the restaurant closes at 2.30 pm.We were very pleasantly surprised with the excellent quality of the food. We have eaten at many Italian restaurants, both overseas and in the UK, and this was one of the best. The garlic bread was generous and very garlicky, my pasta dish was delicious, as was my husband's penne arrabiata and the twins loved their chicken and chips. In many restaurants the food arrives lukewarm in temperature, but this was really hot - a definite bonus.I was too full to manage a dessert, but my husband and the girls very much enjoyed theirs. My only complaint was that my espresso coffee could have been hotter.However, the wine was excellent, cold and well priced; the service was good; the prices were good; the toilets were good, and we would definitely go there again.

Visited this restaurant with family for an evening meal. It is located on the Woking to Chobham road and has ample parking. The building is smart inside with wooden beams and it has an authentic Italian feel to it, in part helped further by the staff who are warm and welcoming. The food is of a good quality for the price and portions generous - particularly the garlic bread starter and soups. I opted for sirloin steak and it was a very nice cut of meat. A range of desserts are also available. They also serve good-sized breakfasts. Overall, a smart and friendly place to enjoy a nice meal. Reservations are available by phone or online, although midweek it was fairly quiet and we needn't have bothered for our table of four. Only negative I have was that sitting in the back corner by the windows you did get a few flies around, but this may have been a mix of the hot weather and the garden centre shop next door.

I had lunch at il Rustico’ with a group of 18 colleagues. They organised for us a set menu’ at a very competitive price. We chose our dishes in advance and the service was perfect. All dishes arrived all at the same time, nicely warm. The starters were all very good, calamari and fried mushrooms were light and crispy. Pasta dishes were well seasoned and tasty. Tiramisu’ and cheesecake were really good. They were also very good at preparing very tasty gluten-free calamari and pasta. It was very appreciated. Il Rustico is definitively the place to go for a taste of Italian cuisine, accompanied by a very good service.

We were celebrating my husband's birthday so visited with a view to having a special meal. I had bruschetta followed by the chicken with mushroom sauce and my husband had the scallops followed by the rack of lamb. All the food was delicious and nicely presented. We also treated ourselves to a bottle of Gavi Gavi which was the most expensive white at £25 but did not disappoint. This was our third visit and I really like the fact that you can have a night that suits the occasion and your budget. You can have a couple of pizzas and a beer or a lovely three course meal with wine or prosecco. The service will be warm and friendly regardless. I recommend booking as it can be very busy. It is also open for lunch and breakfast which we are looking forward to trying one morning.

First visit on Saturday 18 June. Good, wide menu ranging from Lasagne at £7.95 to Lamb, Chicken, and Veal dishes plus steaks at £15-£18. The problem was the very long wait for our meal - nearly an hour and 15mins - far too long to be acceptable for a restaurant which wasn't even full! The greater insult was that no-one bothered to apologise, even when asked by my host about the delay. The young woman said "I'll check" but never came back and the manager, when asked again, said "Well, it's being cooked". Food OK when it arrived but nothing special. Our host for the night was so embarrassed and upset as they had come up from Cornwall for a few days for their anniversary celebrations with their family. I won't be taking my family there as I had planned to do when I arrived at 7pm that night!!

We were driving back to Sussex from Surrey with our 2 hungry kids and passed Il Rustico by chance and fancied some pasta. Did a quick tripadvisor in the car park and were happy to give it a try.We had a warm welcome from the staff, sat down and looked through a menu with plenty of choice and all the Italian favourites.There was also plenty of choice for our young kids and a separate kids menu.Service and attention throughout was very good indeed and nothing was too much trouble.We didn't know we were stopping for lunch so were not prepared, so we asked one of the staff members if they had any pencils for the kids, they happily obliged and brought a box of pencils and some paper to keep them busy.The food was very nice and very generous portions. My kids couldn't finish everything so we asked them to box it up to take home which again they did with no hesitation.All in all, a very positive experience and we were very glad to have stopped off at Il Rustico.

We have only recently discovered this restaurant. It has been a real find and we will definitely return in the future. The food is excellent. The menu is varied and offers daily specials to tempt. After visiting in late 2015, we returned in January and were not disappointed with the quality of the food or service. This is one of the nicest Italian restaurants that we have eaten in for some while. If you are a 'foodie' you will appreciate the quality of the freshly produced food served and the relaxed environment. Don't be put off by the location (as we were initially) as it is just outside Chobham and next to a garden centre. The outside does no justice to the welcome and enjoyment you will receive inside so don't leave it as long as we foolishly did.

The place was pretty quiet but if you're in a group it was actually nice to be able to chat without fear of disturbing others. Food absolutely fine - a limited selection but enough to choose from, nicely prepared, ample portions and good value. The Prosecco was very pleasant too. Service unassuming but efficient. Parking easy as immediately outside. All round an excellent spot

We just had a light bite but the food was lovely and fresh, the staff were attentive without being fussy and overall we both had a great time. The menu looks great for dinner and I will be back soon to try it out.

luke-warm, undercooked food, starters that didn't arrive (no explanation or apology as to why offered); near raw calamari that was sent back to be cooked further was removed from the bill, being the only reason i've given this review two stars instead of one...

Went for Sunday lunch with friends at 1pm, but rather disappointed that one of their specials already off the menu as were 2 of their regular desserts. That said, the main meals were excellent. Would recommend cushioned seating for diners' comfort.

Real Italian food with good specials of the day. Would be 5 stars but my only criticism-very slow service... They have large car park. We'll come back.

I took a small party as I know that the food is consistently good here and once again we were not disappointed. The small menu is backed up by a few blackboard specials.The scallops went down well despite the portions being on the small side. Of the main courses it was remarked that the sea bass was perfect, as was the seafood linguine, my risotto primavera was a delight. We had the house wine which is good value and tasty. Nobody had room for a dessert but the complimentary limoncella was well received. Once again a very agreeable evening was enjoyed by all.

I've visited this little restaurant twice now and can say it's refreshing to see real Italian owners not eastern European pretenders. The food is good with flavour and desent portions the lamb cutlets are good fish cooked properly. Deserts are 3 out of ten..shame because main courses are nice.room itself is bland service is good not a place for an occasion but for honest Italian food well cooked with good flavour a deal to have.

We meet up with friends for a nice dinner at Il Rustico in Woking, we have eaten there a few times before but our friends hadn't been before and they were delighted at the quality of the meal.Staff all very pleasant and helpful, menu options not massive but what was on offer is very good Italian food nicely presented and of excellent quality.Prices quite reasonable, advisable to book at weekends a very good return visit.

Started well. A friendly, welcoming voice when I booked which didn't sound like he was doing me a favour letting us have a table. Nice welcome, good seat. Liked the ambience. Not rushed so time for a nice glass of prosecco, beer for hubbie. Lovely authentic menu of a sensible size so you expect everything to be cooked from fresh. Mussels tasty and fresh. Mr Almaty's king prawns also looked and tasted great. Both of us chose chicken involtino which was excellent and a very nice bottle of Montepulciano. Came with sauté potatoes and we ordered spinach on the side. No room for dessert for me though Mr Almaty proclaimed the apple pie excellent. Coffee and limoncello completed the treat. Really good meal with friendly staff and super service. Slightly unusual location, perhaps, but plenty of parking at the front. We'll be back and maybe try breakfast too.

We were invited by friends to the Il Rustico last night. It was our first visit, despite driving past loads & loads of times. Located at the entrance of a garden centre, it is not as appealing as it may be if it was in a better location, but don’t let that fool you. The food is good. Not a massive menu, but it’s a fresh produce family-run Italian. Although they didn’t appear the do pizzas (maybe on kids’ menu?). There was just the four of us for dinner.The restaurant is named correctly – it’s rustic. That’s fine – no need for formal restaurants all the time with old friends. No table cloths, just a plastic café style plastic sheet. Ambience was fine although they could get some appropriate music. The staff are running around and doing their best. The table next to us had the wrong starter order brought up. That was handled with a replacement in no time. It sounded like the waiter had seen the finger pointing to Cozze instead of Funghi on the menu – they are one above the other. The staff handled that well. My friend had rang ahead the day before to get a couple of large rib-on-the-bones for us. This was nice of him, but I eat enough beef at steak restaurants, so would have rather had the seafood linguini on the menu. I’ll have that next time if we go back. The starters were all good. The mussels were lovely, and fresh. I had tomato sauce, my friend had them in lemon. He said he wished he’d had the tomato. They were nice. Plump mussels – lovely. 3 small crostini on the side for dipping in the sauce. Calamari had a light batter. Buffalo Mozzarella & tomato was nice, but they should have sliced the mozzarella – it was served whole, as a big lump. Looked good as it was obviously buffalo, but I had to slice it as best I could to make it less crude. Main courses - the girls had a rib eye steak and the lamb cutlets. Just 3 lamb cutlets with a tasty mint gravy. The rib steak was very good, unlike my rib-on-the-bone, which was average, and too fatty. I like the rib-fat marbled; that is what gives the rib steak the best taste, but this was very fatty. Disappointing, to be truthful. But it isn’t on the menu – this was called for on a pre-order.The wine list also isn’t extensive, but a nice bottle of Barolo was enjoyed. Draft Peroni was also a welcome when we go there.Now I’m onto the bill. The prices all looked ok, but I didn’t think it sounded a little expensive for where we were when I paid. I went to the till to pay for it all. I didn’t check the bill in detail, but asked if there was a service charge on it. I was told there wasn’t so I told them to round it up from £254.25 to £280. I assumed the beef was the main cost, and didn’t bother checking the listed items. This morning I was asked by my friend we went with what they had charged for the beef he pre-ordered and I checked the bill. They were £39 each. Reasonable. But I then noticed 5 pints of Peroni had been charged for when we only had 3. We only had one bottle of water yet two of those were charged for. My friend’s wife had just two Proseccos yet 3 of those were charged for. My wife had just one glass of wine (she was driving) yet two were on the bill. Obviously out first round of drinks had gone on the bill twice. An extra £26.15, plus I'd have rounded to £250 from £228, so I'm £30 worse off. I assume that putting the first round of drinks on the bill twice was a simple error - I hope it was, and thinking back to the staff I am sure it was. But a little frustrating. So check your bill when you go – but do go – the menu food was very good. We were impressed with the presentation of the food on everything that came past our table. Very good. If you live in Woking or Chobham area, give it a go.

Il Rustico is in a garden centre so you'd be forgiven to dismissing it as nothing more as a cashing in operation to maximise the customer earning potential. You would be wrong. We went on a Tuesday evening and found the food and service delightful.For starters I had a Proscuitto platter board which is served on an actual wooden board. The tomatoes on the bruschetta were bursting with flavour and the meats were plentiful. For the mains I had an Italian sausage fettucini which was filling and not overly seasoned or oily. I even managed a desert - the Il Rustico Apple Tart. This was utterly delightful. Warmed tart with an almond frangipan topping and ice cream melting on top. Price was reasonable and service was quick and attentive. Will definitely be returning again.

We have been to this restaurant several times before and never had a bad experience, but last night it was awful. Our table for six was booked for 7.00. We ordered our food around 7.20 but all our meals didn't come until 8.50! We nearly all walked out. There was no apology until we started to complain about 8.0 when the manager said that one of the chefs had fainted and had to leave. I can understand that something like this could happen, and it's very unfortunate, but why on earth didn't they come to our table and say instead of saying its plated up and will soon be on its way. The manager then just shouted to us that desserts were on the house! Again she should have come up to us and explained politely. We felt sorry for the situation they found themselves in, but it's all how the staff handle it and on this occasion they handled it dreadfully. The food finally came a plate at a time. At least the food tasted good and was well presented. It will be a long while before we go to this restaurant again.

Came her as a group of 6 on a quiet Saturday night. The decor inside is cosy and inviting and the staff are friendly enough but we ordered drinks and their arrival was staggered across 10 minutes. All the starters were very good and the mains looked appetising enough - I was the only person to order pasta but it was quite greasy. Like our drinks, none of the dishes arrived at the same time tho. The menu is standard Italian fayre with little invention so if you like your spag bol, carbonara, lasagna and risotto without much deviation then this is the place for you. We were the last to leave just after 11pm but I got the impression the staff were quite glad we were leaving. It's out of the way and I wouldn"t rush back I'm afraid

I ordered a tomato based dish with chilli and it was so bland and unappealing. I told the waiter and he started arguing with me.... seriously I was just giving feedback, I didn't ask for my money back, nor did I expect it... but please don't be so arrogant that you can't accept criticism. Maybe they are not as good as they think they are. Customer service is more than asking if you'd like black pepper.... oh wait they didn't do that either! I had only been told good things about this restaurant, but I would never receommend it.

The Italian ambiance greets you as soon as you walk through the door. Charming Staff, privately run everyone feels an 'Individual' I had rung for a reservation the day before left an ansaphone message and was called back as soon as the Restaurant opened. We were four that evening, we started with an excellent bottle of Proseco, everyone had something different , I am a Pescatarian/Vegetarian and had plenty of choices. The chalk board is great for daily specials, we are so lucky having this little gem five minutes from our Surrey Home! As our friend remarked as we left, it was a good and happy night!

We have been to this restaurant a couple of times recently, once for lunch & once for dinner & the food had been excellent. The staff are friendly & helpful & there are always interesting specials. The lunch pasta menu is particularly good value & very tasty. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because the décor is rather bleak.

Vistited this restaurant just before going to the cinema with my Mum, neither of us had been here before (or heard of it as its quite hidden) but we both had an amazing time! We shared a starter which was absolutely delicious, served piping hot which soon disappeared! Then we each had a different pizza which was a generously large size and tasted great. For two glasses of wine, a soft drink, starter and two pizzas came to £30 which we thought was really good value. Our waitress was nice and we will definitely be returning soon!
