La Rustica on Nether Hall Road in Doncaster is a little gem for Italian food lovers. The menu is packed with Mediterranean dishes that feel both classic and a bit modern, and everything’s made with fresh, quality ingredients. They’ve even got options for gluten-free and vegetarian diners, so everyone’s covered. The vibe here is super relaxed but still feels special. There’s a cool split-level setup with a bar upstairs, perfect if you want to grab a drink before diving into the food. Downstairs, it’s all rustic charm with a cosy brick cellar setting that makes it feel like a real authentic Italian spot. What really stands out is the service. The staff are so welcoming and go out of their way to make you feel at home. If you’re celebrating something, they’ll make it extra special—think decorated tables and even singing you a birthday tune if you’re into that sort of thing. The food? Top-notch. From the pasta to the mains, everything’s bursting with flavour. Add to that the warm atmosphere and reasonable prices, and you’ve got yourself a winner. Whether it’s a casual night out or a special occasion, La Rustica is definitely worth a visit. You’ll leave happy and full!

Beautiful little restaurant, I had the lamb cutlet, and churros, my wife had the tagliatelle with slow cooked beef, churros and cheesecake. Loved it and will definitely be back. Staff were really helpful, loved it.

Can't rate highly enough how good our whole night was. Packed out with parties told there could be a wait and kept us informed all the way through. The food was absolutely fantastic. The Balsamic Steak was to die for. Need to go back and try more.

I am so blessed that La Rustica is so local to us, I can't believe I've lived here a year without ever going before! A beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere and amazing, tentative staff. The food was absolutely amazing, we could barely walk after because we stuffed ourselves so much! I opted for fish based dishes and they did not disappoint but I was very envious looking at my partner's steak! Amazing price for how beautiful the food is. The decor is so cozy, I feel like I'm dining on a street in Italy! We had Alex serving us and he was amazing, Alex was so friendly, quick with any requests, adding petals to the table and asking if we'd like a photo. Just a wonderful experience and it felt very special!

Came here for my birthday and the atmosphere was really nice, very rustic feeling, which I love! The food was 10/10 and the staff were very hospitable. Our waiter, Alex was attentive and really topped the night off with happy birthday song from all of the team, we also got 2 free shots, a night I certainly won’t forget! Will definitely be coming back!
