THIS WEEK AT RUSTICO
-
It's Apericena* Time!
If you've spent an evening in Italy, you'll already know this ritual. A drink in hand, good company around the table and plenty of food to graze on as the evening unfolds. For one week only, we're bringing a little of that tradition to Rustico. Enjoy an Italian Spritz alongside a generous mixed antipasto platter.
Italian Spritz & Mixed Antipasto Platter
£16 pp
Available daily from 4.30pm – 7.00pm
27th July – 1st August
*An 'apericena' is a popular Italian social tradition that blends an aperitivo (pre-dinner drink) with cena (dinner). Typically held in the early evening, it involves paying for a drink (like a Spritz or wine) and enjoying a generous buffet or grazing board of small bites that are substantial enough to replace a full evening meal.
Fresh, comforting
pasta dishes & traditional
Italian recipes
We believe in soul-warming, honest Italian food. The kind that brings people together around the table. Our cooking is rooted in simplicity, seasonality, and the comforting flavours of traditional Italian home cooking.
Fresh pasta is at the heart of what we do. Made in our kitchen, it’s crafted with care using time-honoured techniques and paired thoughtfully with sauces that cling, complement, and let each ingredient shine in every bite.
