The best restaurants serving Italian food in Rother South East

This restaurant has turned into our 'go to' venue for a night out when an Italian meal is called for. The food is created with enthusiasm and care and the service always bright and breezy. If you have wondered about it, can I suggest you give it a go - I'd be very surprised if you didn't enjoy your visit. The menu has great classics and some new twists as well.

Can't recommend this restaurant enough the service food and on our visit was first class can definitely recommend the home made tiramisu.

Good food and good services , highly recommended

My husband and I booked here for the first time and what a wonderful evening we had. The food, service and hospitality were excellent. Definitely will be going back as we live locally.

Best vegan pizza I have ever eaten. My husband, who normally doesn't like vegan food, split it with me, and he agreed it tasted great. Delicious oat milk latte too. And my server Jane was delightful.

The food has no flavour what so ever and everything was dry! The main host stephano I think his name is? Was very touchy feely with all the women including his youg female waitress! Was extremely disturbing and off putting. I heard he hires young girls and acts very weird around them. So please don’t ever work there. Disgusting. Update for your reply, you think it’s okay to put your hands/arms around peoples waist etc…you know exactly what I mean. You touch female staff constantly & touch customers!

My wife and I had lunch in the Battle Rustico yesterday. The decor was very unusual but super effective. Our lunches were delicious and very good value. Emma, who served our food very efficiently, was really friendly and we enjoyed chatting to her. The food arrived quickly and was piping hot. Tom, the chef, was also very pleasant to talk with and prepared our food very well. All in all a very enjoyable experience and we shall definitely eat at other branches of Rustico.

Amazing food and friendly staff. Great pizzas and kebab! Thank you :)
