Great service, however pizza was lacking any flavour... minimum to no sauce and tasteless prawns. I have never before hD to add salt and pepper to a surf & turf pizza to have flavour.
Rustic Olive was a favourite of mine for many years sadly won't hurry back

Approximate cost: $180

Spaghetti was quite soft, not al dente as you would expect from an authentic Italian restaurant. Pork belly crackling was so over cooked, it was as hard as a rock, we could not bite into it without destroying our teeth. Tiramisu was bland and tasteless! Will not be coming back here.

Approximate cost: $25

Old school Italian done well, this place gets packed out but they pump out great quality Italian at reasonable prices. The pasta I had was perfect

The food is is really great - love their calzone breads. Serving sizes are generous and the staff are very attentive. Can be very busy so make sure that you book ahead.

The best restaurant I have been to by far. The food is superb and the staff are attentive and friendly. The place was absolutely pumping and packed with diners which surely attests to the supreme quality of all it offers. Our meals were delicious and the serves were huge. We have already made a booking to go back with friends.

Have been there once. It is always quite busy and there was a wait on food. The staff were helpful. The food was nice, although I did have a seafood dish that made me feel quite unwell afterwards.

Very busy, seated quickly. Service was hectic but considering how busy they were very good, waitress friendly. Food came out reasonably quickly and was hot fresh and delicious. Well priced, would like to go when not so busy to enjoy the views f ocean and read a bit more.

The rustic olive has a nice casual ambience and great food. I love the chicken fettucine Amore, but there pizza and other pasta dishes are nice also. I find the entree size filling and good value. One of the only things that lets them down is service at times. I've found that when it's busy eg. Friday nights you can wait a long time for anyone to take your order and then get it. Waitresses can also forget to take drink orders. If you go when it's quite it's all good though.

Approximate cost: $20

I visited The Rustic Olive for the first time a couple of weeks ago for lunch with my local Ladies Group. The location is wonderful, overlooking Moreton Bay. The menu is vast with so many options - whether you want a light meal or something a bit heartier - and the prices are very reasonable. The staff are very efficient, and even though there were around forty in our group, we were served quickly and with a smile. The meals were generous and absolutely delicious. We are planning on returning with friends this coming weekend and this time we have booked a table out the front to enjoy the sea views.

Approximate cost: $25.00
