Rustica Bistrot

One of my favourite places to eat in Bicester. Try the pinsa and pistachio ice cream. I tried the truffle chips for the first time tonight and they were lovely. Staff friendly as usual. It's always a pleasure coming here.

Matilda and the team were so friendly. We ordered to take away and everything was perfect. Food was piping hot and ready exactly on time. The meals were tasty and great value - very authentically Italian. Highly recommend.

I originally planned to have sashimi rice don, but they were sold out, so when we passed by this place and it smelled quite nice, we decided to give it a try. They sell something called “pinsa,” and the menu mentions that it’s from Rome and uses a different type of flour compared to regular pizza. We ordered two pinsas, and we could definitely tell that the dough was different from usual—it was crispier and more fragrant. We really liked the Tartufo, made with black truffle. It was special, and you rarely find these flavours elsewhere. However, the Romana wasn’t that great. It had anchovies, olives, and capers, and all three together made it extremely salty! If the Tartufo deserves a 9/10, the Romana would only get a 2/10. Anyway, overall, the food was good, and the service was attentive. Highly recommend! One downside, though, was the poor ventilation inside the shop. The whole place was filled with smoke, which could definitely be improved.

Visited for the first time at the weekend. We had a minor issue communicating a dairy allergy for one of our children but, once sorted, everything was perfect. The staff went out of their way to explain their allergy controls and how they would prepare the dairy free meal which gave us great confidence. Food was tasty and very filling!

Ate here this evening with my wife and my boy and was very pleasantly surprised. Not only was the food excellent and I mean really excellent but also the service was amazing. Every member of staff was smiling and happy, treated us well, with a good attitude, considering they are all younger people (maybe I'm getting old) usually younger people into restaurants act like they don't want to be there, certainly wasn't the case here today. Very very impressed

Really amazing authentic Italian food. Absolutely delicious and we’re able to accommodate gluten free pasta dishes as well. A true hidden gem!! I would highly recommend and will definitely come back again. Great vegetarian options available as well.

Popped in for a quick lunch. First visit and very impressed. Great menu, friendly staff, delicious food.
