Al Fresco Dining at Cucina Rustica

There's no better way to take advantage of great weather than to dine al fresco. To us, Summer is all about enjoying delicious food and drink whilst soaking up the sun in a beautiful location. With one of Birmingham’s prettiest spots as our home, Cucina Rustica is the perfect restaurant for an al fresco lunch or dinner.

THE PERFECT SETTING

Located just off leafy St Paul’s Square in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, you’ll feel comfortably distant from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Rated amongst the top ten restaurants in St Paul’s Square on TripAdvisor, Cucina Rustica prides itself on offering fine Italian food. Our modern Italian restaurant combines authentic Italian food with a modern twist in an elegant and relaxed atmosphere. Our outdoor terrace area is the perfect place for al fresco dining all summer long. Day or night, we have the perfect spot for you.After a long day in the office, a day of shopping and seeing the local Jewellery Quarter sights, or even just on your lunch break, you might want to unwind and sit outdoors soaking up the sun and leafy backdrop of St Paul’s Square. Al fresco drinking and dining at Cucina also makes for a lovely date or casual celebration. The Grade I listed Georgian St Paul’s Church, built in 1779, sits pretty in the background as you drink and dine on our splendid outdoor terrace. It’s a real haven!
