We often eat here & the food is always top class! Have tried almost everything on the menu, the steaks are great as is the sea food pasta! If your staying in the €5 take away pizzas are excellent value & very tasty! The house red is a very nice chianti, service is always excellent! A really fab family run... More

Joanne. Thanks for your feedback, and kind comments. It's great to see you have tried nearly everything on our menu. Also it's nice to see our Pizza special goes down well. Looking forward to satisfying you and all our customers, hopefully for years to come. Thanks Joanne. Mourad More

Great atmosphere and good food. Prices a little on the high side but guests from Raheen woods get a discount, be sure to ask.

we enjoyed our meal in the downstairs dining room on a busy Saturday night, when staff were dealing with both diners and people collecting take away meals, food was lovely, atmosphere informal and staff very friendly. Reasonably priced, and would definitely return if we were in the area again...

I have been going to La Rustica for quite some time now. The food is excellent I must have sampled nearly all the menu at this stage. The Pizzas and steaks are to die for. Price is very reasonable in these recessionary times. Over the years I have not seen any price increase since the revamp a few years ago,... More

Thank you very much for your review . Also thanks for recognising that we haven't had a price increase in the past 4 years. We do not have a credit card or laser service but there are 2 bank link machines just around the corner as you stated. I try to satisfy all my customers and when specific requests are... More

Excellent food, service, menu and staff.The menu choice is variable and has wide variety of options to suit all tastes. Pizza, Pasta, Steaks, Chicken, Burgers, Duck, and they have daily special offers. I had italian sausage with prawns pasta, it was divine.

I walked from my hotel to here as it is voted num1 in Athenry after a coffee shop. But I couldn't eat here. There is no credit card facility and I had no cash. Unbelievable really in 2012. I went to the Indian instead and it was very good.
