Great food but poor service, we dined here Saturday lunch time and found the food delicious and the view gorgeous. What spoilt the experience was the service which was like a comedy of errors. 1) After ordering our order was re-read which took a few attempts to get it right. 2) We were told the scallops had 8 per dish but when tucking in discovered that half were round potatoes the others were scallops. 3) We asked for the beer menu 3 times before we finally got it. 4) Our coffees were forgotten about. 5) Then sugar and teaspoons were not given. 6) When we discovered we had ordered too much food, we asked to cancel one dish, which was still on the bill and we needed to ask for it to be removed. I noticed the bathrooms are now in the restaurant and very pleasant!

Poor service — lengthy delay with main meals. Service below standard. Out of prawns for the second week in a row.

As mentioned before, this place has an amazing view and makes the most of it with ceiling to floor windows. The room is open and very interesting in design. The menu has something for everyone and seems to range from Mediterranean to Middle Eastern in influence. The Banquet is the way to go and gives a good feel for the menu. The wine list is very good, extensive and well priced. But the toilets… oh why oh why are they outside? I mean it’s literally an outhouse. It was raining when I went. At least offer customers and umbrella! Rustica is a great addition to the Newcastle restaurant scene. I think the toilet situation will cost them the accolades they could earn had they thought a little more about customer convenience.

Great food and a magic view, this place is a welcome new addition to the Newcastle dining scene. The décor seems almost garish at first glance, but somehow it works and, to be fair, is not a huge departure from the stylings of restaurants you may find in Italy itself. The overhead prismatic light array is a sight to behold. Food shows influence from a number of Mediterranean countries, and is reasonably priced — very pleased to say that this place is not just cashing in on the view. The shared plates will fill the table and are a great option for larger groups. Wine is a mix of Australian and international, and shows some good diversity. The main problem with this place is the external toilets, it’s a bit of a trek down the stairs to the neighbouring building and this is sure to frustrate some. Apart from that, well worth a try.
