Trattoria Rustica

If you're looking for a quality Italian meal, then Trattoria Rustica is the way to go. They have a wide selection of pizzas, risottos, pastas, and other specials that are served in pretty generous portions. There's something for every taste bud in the menu, which almost is a problem because it takes forever to decide what you want.
It's not an incredibly cheap meal here, but for the quality of food, it's definitely reasonably priced. An average dish will probably cost anywhere between 7 and 12 pounds, not including drinks or dessert. It's definitely worth it though, especially if you want to treat yourself to a nice meal after having lived on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and dry cereal for a week.

As for the ambience of the place, it is a small restaurant that can feel very crowded at peak hours. It is cozy though, and suitable for a date dinner or a (not too big) group of friends. All in all, Trattoria Rustica is a great restaurant and can definitely fill your belly up with some fantastic food and wine.
