Traditional Sicilian restaurant opened by Giorgio Veninata
Arianna is the proud owner of this special restaurant perfectly located in an 18th century building close to Pola Square. The cuisine reflects the surroundings: classical, simple, and refined.
In 2007, film director Alberto Sironi chose A’ RUSTICANA as one of his favourite shooting locations for the Italian hit TV series: Inspector Montalbano . The famous Chief Inspector would regularly have lunch at A’ RUSTICANA where he would be discussing cases with his colleagues, as portrayed in the episode “The Snaccess Thife”.
The restaurant has three dining rooms: two indoors and one outdoors.
