Fine Italian food in the very centre of Birmingham is Cucina Rustica's trademark, a comfortable, atmospheric Italian restaurant popular with both locals and tourists visiting this vibrant city. Although modern and slick in its execution, the choice of deep earthy colours and moody lighting, tactile materials such as wood and stone and the addition of characterful contemporary art and healthy, verdant plants give Cucina Rustica that slight traditional feel suggested by its name and a certain cosiness that gives it a home from home feel. Attention to detail is in every little touch here at Cucina Rustica, from the single rose placed on each table to the complementary olives produced on every guest's arrival. Equally, food is produced with great care, dishes traditionally Italian but done with flair and a certain amount of style, some unusual choices offered alongside classic favourites, all from the classic Italian cookbook and accompanied by a wide array of drinks.

I have visited the Taverna once before a couple of years ago the food was delicious so I decided to return for my birthday. Very pleasant welcome the waitresses were very polite and friendly. The food didn’t take too long to be served maybe around 25 mins. Absolutely delicious mixed grill for two. We were stuffed and couldn’t finish it all. I’ve been to Greece 3 times and loved the food so I was happy to find this Taverna to enjoy the Greek experience at home.
