Best Cozy Restaurants in Canberra City

I took my partner here for our first anniversary and it was an excellent time! The service was friendly and detailed, I have some food allergies and the staff were very on top of ensuring I was looked after. The food itself was marvellous, the textures and flavours were mouth-wateringly good and I definitely look forward to trying more on the menu. The atmosphere was lovely too, it was a quiet rainy evening so the charm of the indoor seating really shone and I was able to focus on my beautiful date without worry of an overwhelming environment. I would definitely dine again at La Rustica, thank you to Nate and Jacob for giving us a wonderful experience.

Fabulous expertise delicious Italian food and great service to match! Will definitely return

Fabulous food, service and great value. Very impressed

Service couldn’t have been better. I was helped with a surprise cake and one of the workers excelled in helping me out - she seriously went above and beyond. I would have left a tip if I had cash. Super lovely environment and affordable, tasty food. Highly, highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a spot to eat.

We booked for an early birthday dinner and were welcomed by wait staff busy setting up for the evening who immediately offered drinks and menus with brio. Ramen was tasty and had the long noodles symbolic of long life. The place was buzzing with families, regulars and takeout orders but we felt well served. We will come again, even without the excuse of a birthday.
