lovely food and staff were very welcoming and friendly. Alex was very attentive and quick with service. highly recommend

What a lovely restaurant. The food was delicious. Atmosphere wonderful and our waiter Christi was so attentive. He brought us churros and a complimentary baby Guinness after our meal which was a lovely touch. Definitely recommend this place and we will be back.

Here for a work trip and came for a solo dinner. Delicious pizza and fudge cake was a lovely treat at the end. Would highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere as well and the staff were great.

Great authentic Italian food with a lovely atmosphere. Recommend sitting downstairs as it’s a bit more open there but the food is consistently good and the service is great too.

The food was amazing along with really good service, would definitely recommend to others looking for a nice place to eat 10/10

Came for my daughters 18 th birthday , nice restaurant , beautiful food , and moses our waiter looked after our every need , perfect thankyou la rustica

This place is amazing 10 out of 10! Very welcoming and they served the food in no time! Cristi did a great job setting up the table, thank you so much mate! Will certainly come back again🤠

Went here tonight with my partner. Food was absolutely amazing , so filling and we have even taken the rest home as we enjoyed it so much. Staff were so polite and welcoming. Can’t recommend it enough , we will definitely be back.

Great atmosphere downstairs, staff are extremely helpful, food is 10/10 would recommend and will definitely come again!

The staff are very friendly and nice. The quality of food is very good and reasonable prices.

Food - delicious. Service - excellent. Well looked after by our waitor - Moses. Very busy and you need to book. A limited menu but we all loved what we had.

Came here for my birthday and the atmosphere was really nice, very rustic feeling, which I love! The food was 10/10 and the staff were very hospitable. Our waiter, Alex was attentive and really topped the night off with happy birthday song from all of the team, we also got 2 free shots, a night I certainly won’t forget! Will definitely be coming back! 😊

The restaurant delayed the food prep for almost 2 hours after the order was placed. Although the food quality was good, the food arrived cold.

Great food, great drinks. Came for a birthday celebration and loved it. Took photos for us, had a great laugh and catered every need

Stunning food and stunning service Will be 100% back We can’t speak highly enough about this place moise made my wife feel very special on her birthday

Great atmosphere, great service - thank you Alex and Ecu! - great food and an all round lovely place to eat. Will definitely recommend and come again.

I had a fantastic dining experience at La Rustica! Codruta and Moise, who attended to our table, were absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. The food was incredible, especially the seafood pasta and pizza, both bursting with authentic Italian flavors. The warm atmosphere and excellent service make this the best Italian spot in Doncaster. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!

We had a really good time. The food was really good and the customer service was top notch… I will recommend this spot for anyone.

Just had a very nice meal here. The food was very tasty and the portion sizes good too, we didn't have room for desert. We had the seafood risotto and were impressed with both the flavour and the texture. The atmosphere downstairs was good but it did get very noisy as the evening progressed. Would we go back again, yes as the food was so good.

Unfortunately, the food was cold when it arrived. It was quite apparent that the driver was doing multiple deliveries (which makes sense for the driver) we appreciate it has to be cost effective for him. However, if that is the case then there should be proper facilities for the food to be kept warm. A thermal bag on this occasion clearly was not sufficient. We also found the driver to be abrupt and rude. Will not be using the app again.

La Rustica on Nether Hall Road in Doncaster is a little gem for Italian food lovers. The menu is packed with Mediterranean dishes that feel both classic and a bit modern, and everything’s made with fresh, quality ingredients. They’ve even got options for gluten-free and vegetarian diners, so everyone’s covered. The vibe here is super relaxed but still feels special. There’s a cool split-level setup with a bar upstairs, perfect if you want to grab a drink before diving into the food. Downstairs, it’s all rustic charm with a cosy brick cellar setting that makes it feel like a real authentic Italian spot. What really stands out is the service. The staff are so welcoming and go out of their way to make you feel at home. If you’re celebrating something, they’ll make it extra special—think decorated tables and even singing you a birthday tune if you’re into that sort of thing. The food? Top-notch. From the pasta to the mains, everything’s bursting with flavour. Add to that the warm atmosphere and reasonable prices, and you’ve got yourself a winner. Whether it’s a casual night out or a special occasion, La Rustica is definitely worth a visit. You’ll leave happy and full!

Can't rate highly enough how good our whole night was. Packed out with parties told there could be a wait and kept us informed all the way through. The food was absolutely fantastic. The Balsamic Steak was to die for. Need to go back and try more.

Went for my wife's birthday with the 2 kids, great service. Food was outstanding. The impromptu rendition of happy birthday by the staff was brilliant. Thank you

Had a great meal staff were really helpful and friendly couldn't do enough for us can't wait to come back

Al dente isn't for me. I didn't enjoy my meal. Service was good and for someone who enjoys al dente rice or pasta you may love this restaurant.

We went for a meal this evening. The food was lovely and Eco the waiter was very professional and attentive

Ordered £44 of food. No pizza, no bruschetta . Chips cold and so was the soup. Had to go through Uber for refund and haven’t received the full amount as they sent it all but we didn’t receive it. So a problem with Uber or La Rustica???? Focaccia bread - half a slice of normal bread. Honestly, absolutely shocking!!!!!! And I’m not one for leaving reviews

Absolutely amazing, they accommodated us last minute. They took excellent care of us and there was something for everyone on the menu. Cannot recommend enough

The food was amazing. Came hot and was so tasty. We will definitely order again.

Had an amazing dining experience at La Rustica in Doncaster! The food was great and bursting with flavour. The service was exceptional-Cristi, our waiter, went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic evening. Friendly, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving quality Italian cuisine!

Visited with my boyfriend for my birthday and our anniversary and it was brilliant start to finish. We went on a quiet Monday so basically had the restaurant to ourselves and we were served by Alex and lecu. They started by dressing the table with birthday decs and rose petals then lecu showed off his photography skills 🤣 The food was amazing and beautifully presented, then to top it off the whole staff came out to sing happy birthday which made my night. Thank you to the whole team for making it so special

Asked for no jalapeños on the pizza and it was loaded with them. Also hand it chips are just regular fries. Was expecting proper chips. Wouldn’t order again.

pizza was completely cold. was showing that delivery guy is waiting at restaurant but actually was picking up another order from city center

The restaurant was recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. The food and service were excellent. Christi was very attentive.

Amazing service and lovely food. We were served by Alex and Eco who were very friendly and accommodating to our needs. Will definitely be back :)

Vibrant yet quiet atmosphere as restaurant over 2 floors . I was here on business . Food was divine, I had the mushroom Daviola to start followed by the tagliatelle caserecee which has recommended by the front of house and wasn’t disappointed. Moise , front of house was very welcoming and was an excellent host. Would highly recommend if you are in Doncaster

Amazing service and amazing food. First time trying and will definitely be back. Everything tasted so fresh and came out very quick

Tasty food and helpful service. I recommend.

Excelent service and excellent food. I have enjoyed every moment from the moment I arrived until I have left. I would definitely recommend for any family gatherings. Well done!!

lasagne not great, hand cut chips still tasted and looked frozen, food was warm not hot, husband said his linguine was amazing 😋

Excellent food, very enjoyable. Delivery driver friendly. Highly recommend

La Rustica in Doncaster offers an authentic Italian experience with delicious dishes, exceptional service, and a warm ambience. Every meal feels like a trip to Italy. Highly recommend for all food lovers! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love this place. The food is excellent. Service is superb. Get downstairs for a great atmosphere

The food was cold. A shame because the taste was very good

Unfortunately the food was not good at all. We ordered pizza. We waited more than an hour, and when the pizza came, it was uncooked, raw. And another issue was the kids' meniu ... you can't use such a spicy salami. Otherwise, very nice and hospitable waitresses.

Brilliant as always the food the service a the atmosphere Our server was ecu he never fails does a fantastic job We can as a large party of 15 on 3 October for my daughters 16th birthday Will return time and time again

Excellent service Delicious lamb shanks Everything top class

Gluten free pasta was amazing! Service was great eko was a lovely guy! Definitely recommend 😀

I always order tagliatelle la rustica, its a delicious dish but I do have a complaint in that for £17 I expect more than 2 King prawn and some chicken like it's supposed to have, I never get any. Having said this it's still one of the nicest pasta dishes I've had.

The service was great but that could be because we were the only ones in there and the food tasted like it had all been made with curry powder in it, it wasn't italian food and most thing on the menu were in Spanish

Beautiful meal with great atmosphere and fantastic staff!

This was our first time at this restaurant and it was definitely worth the visit! Cristi was very attentive and couldn’t do any more for us! He greeted us at the door, showed us to our table and made sure everything was perfect during our meal so thank you!

We waited 1.5 hours for the pizza and we got a cold one

Excellent food and excellent service especially eco, he’s very friendly and helpful. It was quite busy as it was a Saturday but that didn’t affect the service or the food. The food was delicious we will definitely be returning

Fabulous night, staff were so attentive and made our experience a lovely lasting memory . Food wise the produce which they use is second to non, each dish we had was presented and tasted beautifully, we would recommend La rustica, this was our first time in there since it was carlo’s back in the day. For sure we will be returning to La Rustica!!!

Fabulous service and great food thank you Alex, outstanding service and food as always. This place never fails!!!!!!!

went to celebrate a birthday the staff were so accommodating, lovely food the cheesecake was beautiful thanks christi for providing such a great time

Service was shocking, took forever to get served. Furthermore, food came and pieces of shell were smashed in the sauce making my food inedible without nearly shattering my teeth with every bite.

Great food, delicious cocktails 🍸, fantastic atmosphere, Cristi was lovely, and very polite, his hospitality is just another level, top barmender definitely will be back xx !!! 😘

Fantastic meal and service was served by Moise who looked after us all night, would highly recommend a trip to this great restaurant

Excellent food, exceptional service. Sorry empty plates all round .

Lovely food and great service by Ecu who was very friendly and made sure we always had a drink. Made the setting very romantic with the rose petals and candle lit on the table.

Needed a restaurant after a day at the races, and all the reviews looked promising. They were not wrong, excellent evening. Passed on starters in case there was room left for desert, there wasn't. I had a calzone, served the right way with bolognese sauce on top, brilliant. My wife opted for the pasta and polpette, she found it a little spicy, but i helped her out and she had some of my pizza crust, win win. No room for desert sadly, maybe next time. Service was excellent, great place to eat. Hope the renovations does not spoil the charm!

We came for dinner on a Thursday night. It was very busy with birthday parties but the staff were very attentive and friendly, especially Alex and Codruta. Food was beautiful as always. We will definitely back after the refurbishment!

Once again, we spent an amazing time at La Rustica. Thank you Eco and Codruta for looking after us again. We always feel special when we come here. The food is so good every single time ! Hats off to the chef and his team ! Can't wait to be back !

very yummy food and friendly waiters!

We ate at La Rustica last night and had a fantastic meal. Staff were great, particularly Ecu and Codruta.. .very friendly , helping us to celebrate birthdays. Would definitely recommend

Thank you La Rustica for making our Anniversary extra special. Beautiful food, Sea Bass was superb, Maria you are a star, friendly, attentive a pro. Thank you again and see you after the refurb, we will be back.

I am so blessed that La Rustica is so local to us, I can't believe I've lived here a year without ever going before! A beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere and amazing, tentative staff. The food was absolutely amazing, we could barely walk after because we stuffed ourselves so much! I opted for fish based dishes and they did not disappoint but I was very envious looking at my partner's steak! Amazing price for how beautiful the food is. The decor is so cozy, I feel like I'm dining on a street in Italy! We had Alex serving us and he was amazing, Alex was so friendly, quick with any requests, adding petals to the table and asking if we'd like a photo. Just a wonderful experience and it felt very special!

18 birthday celebration. Food is very good and staff very attentive

Great evening out. Delicious food, big portions, nicely warm decorated with marvellous service. Thank you Maria and Moize-you make this place perfect to go out with friends.

Fantastic little gem of a place. Great atmosphere, amazing food and reasonable prices. Our first visit we were made to feel like old friends Stopped here on the spur of the moment, and now we’ve found it will definitely be back

Grandson bought the meal for wife's birthday, Good food, very friendly staff (Moses), really enjoyed the meal. Thanks

The food is absolutely delicious everytime.

Excellent food and very good service, all the staff are very friendly. Highly recommended.

Pizza was cold and chicken wings were green pizza also had what looked like confetti on it

Delivered barely warm, now in the oven to heat up before eating

9 of us went for my daughters birthday nice place staff really good, food was perfect , I had a steak which was done to perfection all the staff were brilliant couldn’t fault the place 👍👍

Fantastic food always, never fails to impress

Top quality food and service. Thanks Cristi and crew.

Beautiful little restaurant, I had the lamb cutlet, and churros, my wife had the tagliatelle with slow cooked beef, churros and cheesecake. Loved it and will definitely be back. Staff were really helpful, loved it.

Really nice place with excellent food and service.

Can’t fault this place. The staff are so delightful and can’t do enough to make your evening lovely. I am quite the foodie and the quality was great and the portions were too. I look forward to going back every time I visit my family in town. Many thanks!

We had a lovely meal at La Rustica. The food was great, particularly the Gamberoni con Aglio and the Funghi Daviola. The service from Ecu and Codruta was excellent and attentive. We will definitely be back soon.

Great little restaurant, good service, nice decor with a good selection of food and drink all at reasonable prices. Lovely food, couldn't fault the service, well worth a visit if you are in the area

Food was awesome and maria the waitress was awesome and gave us amazing service and attention to detail was perfect? Also chefs cooked food perfectly and came to r table to ask r preferences x plus tiramisu and cheesecake r to good not to try

Amazing food, even better service. Visited this restaurant for my dad’s birthday, along with 8 of my family. The restaurant was very busy, and it was only a Tuesday evening (which I think is usually a good sign). 2 of the party were small children, one with allergies to oats, milk, soy etc. Our waitress Maria had complete knowledge of the menu and went out of her way to organise vegan ingredients (without oats) were purchased from a store nearby so my nephew could enjoy a meal (and the 2.5 year old ate his entire pizza). This was just one display of how brilliant Maria was. She was quick to organise our tables drinks and deliver them, gave us time to explore the menu and took our orders in perfect time, there wasn’t a single moment we felt rushed or forgotten, exemplary service and intuition from Maria. I can’t remember the last time I received such perfect service from start to finish. She has great humour, is smiley, happy, approachable and knowledgeable, a total asset to the restaurant. The other waitress and mixologist/bar man were also entirely lovely and gave great service (didn’t catch their names). The food was delicious, good portion sizes, lovely and flavoursome and it’s clear a lot of love and time goes into making, designing and presenting the dishes. Really great Italian menu, which has options for everyone, and doesn’t overdo it with a silly amount of linguine and pasta choices (just the right amount of diverse options). Atmosphere is great too, and upstairs and a downstairs, with decor that feels very authentically Italian, and music playing at the right volume (which is where so many go wrong, when it’s so loud you can’t have conversations). It’s a must visit, can’t wait to go back! The best customer service and incredible food! Couldn’t fault a single thing!

Wonderful food! Me and my boyfriend had heard great things about la rustica and we’re not disappointed. The service is truly exemplary especially Adam and Moses who were attentive and very helpful. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Lovely food great service and atmosphere. Moise was excellent

Fantastic food, friendly staff and Maria made our experience even better with her warm hospitality! Thank you! We will be returning for sure!

Went for lunch for my husband’s birthday. Food was delicious and all the staff were friendly and attentive. Interacted with our children and made them feel special. Also added a candle to our deserts and came to sing happy birthday when they found out. Lovely little touches that go a long way.

Delicious food, excellent service and very friendly staff! Hi recommend it! We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Ecu and moise were exemplary waiters and food was superb. I recommend the seabass so good. Made it special for me and my partner putting balloons and rose petals out:)

Very friendly staff, especially Moise, who served us and took care of us. The carbonara was excellent, and the lasagne was very tasty. If you are travelling by Doncaster it's worth paying this friendly restaurant a visit.

Good choice of food, very welcoming would most definitely recommend. I am gluten free and there were options. Staff were excellent. Moise was our host he was very attentive and helpful with dietary requirements. Made my mums birthday special for her too. Thank you

Absolutely gorgeous food service amazing very friendly staff our waiter moise was really great. Would recommend this place anytime and will definitely come back in the future . Thank you for a lovely birthday meal la rustic

Amazing restaurant where you will experience great food and excellent customer service. By far the best restaurant in Doncaster and surrounding areas. All staff are welcoming and friendly providing excellent customer service.

Very nice good food, very tasty, all the staff were very pleasant and welcoming, Maria the waitress was lovely the whole time we were there, best bolognese I’ve had in a long time

Me and my boyfriend were served by Maria, who was absolutely lovely! When we had questions about the menu she gave us all the information needed and offered to swap dishes if my boyfriend found the food not to his taste. However this wasn’t needed we found the food absolutely amazing, matching the service.

Amazing waitress(Amita), come lot of time to us to ask if everything is ok 5stars of 5 comfy place will return for sure, food amazing, always come back
