La Rustica

First visit.... we just googled it...and hoped for the best! Booked for 2 just a few hours prior. Parked close by.... Upon entry we were greeted by a smiling friendly waitress and promptly shown to our table which was already set. Menus followed with a request whether we would enjoy sparkling or stilled water for the table. Few minutes passed, water arrived and our order was taken. 8pm slightly noisy however volume died down about 20 mins later. Calamari entree we shared seemed expensive but after the first mouthful we were more than happy with the price! Table was cleared, plates and cutlery replaced. Both dishes, the Prawn Pasta & Pizza (including the portion size) were sensational, loaded with so many flavours that made your tastebuds dance. We were further pleasantly surprised by the rather decent sized bowl of freshly grated parmesan that accompanied the meal. The attention from the 3 different waitresses was excellent and the bill delivered to the table upon request was no problem. All in all, this was a very pleasant experience and we will definitely be returning. Thanks

Tasty food, good wine list and friendly staff. Would have been handy to have been told about the large portions as we completely over ordered (especially the focaccia) although this seems a regular thing as a lot of people were leaving with their remaining food. One thing to note was that one of our leftovers did not come home with us, we instead had someone's gnocchi - obviously we threw this away! Should have checked in the restaurant.

Great service and food on a freezing cold night, had the bistecca and it was exceptional. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the Kingston area

Fabulous place to eat. Popular though. So can be a wait if busy without first booking.

La Rustica is in a beautiful location on the water, the staff are really friendly and the food is great. I always order the Puttanesca Pasta, it's absolutely delicious, probably the best Puttanesca I've ever had. Rich, salty and very tasty. Highly recommended!

Half restaurant empty but even like that they didn't allow us to do walk in without reservation. No worries...next time I won't even consider it....we ate next door and 30' later that restaurant was still empty....

Had our wedding dinner there. They were fantastic in accommodating our changing guest numbers. Meals were delivered very quickly to our large group. They were all very delicious. Service was amazing, staff so very helpful in ensuring that we had a brilliant night.

Lovely staff, great food, even gluten free options. Small number of stairs to get to the toilets but such a great venue

Probably the most tender veal I have eaten recently. Great service, can be noisy as with many restaurants these days.

I have always tried to visit La Rustica anytime I visit Canberra. Great selection of meals to choose from and I have never been disappointed. Great location on the Kingston Foreshore on Lake Burley Griffon.
