As a asian food lover we are always looking for cheesy and spicy-food . Though pizza is not much spicy as I expect but it was so good. I love the way they are making pizza. Me and my wife were enjoyed it so much. This is the best pizza I ever had in Uk (i’ve been living uk in last 4month only) If i was living in this area in future I’ll buy again from them.

I’ve been going here for years & it used to be really good. Tonight I waited 30 mins in an empty (one other table) restaurant and the pizza had 3 tiny anchovies and 4 capers on it. I handed it back & walked out. Such a shame.

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!

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.

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.

The service in here was on point! We had Jack who worked our table, he was attentive, very lovely young man sporting a very trendy mullet, he really made a top effort with drinks and service with a smile. Lovely to see someone who really cares about the customers needs! High recommend coming here for an authentic pizza and outstanding service! Thank you Jack and Rustico! We will be coming again very soon!

I ate here two night’s running, a Wednesday and a Thursday, and on the first night I really liked it. Hence my return. On the Thursday I arrived around 8.15 and a couple of groups left soon after. That left me as the sole customer and the staff immediately began loudly discussing the ‘pre close-up close-up’ and how quickly they could get away. This discussion was going on pretty much over my table and they were moving back and forth clearing menus, cleaning other tables and putting away cutlery. It really wasn’t conducive to a relaxed meal and I bolted my food and left at around 8.40. According to Google maps they close at 10. Perhaps this is wrong and they actually close at 8.30. Anyway my advice is to not go too late! Btw, the food was nice both nights but I really couldn’t enjoy it the second. It seems a fairly basic part of running a restaurant not to make the customers feel as though they are an inconvenience.

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!
