Details
Housed within Oxford's historic Mitre building on the High Street, a structure with parts dating back to the 13th century and Grade II* listed status, Gusto Italian offers a striking contrast of old and new. The beautifully refurbished interior retains historic character, with cosy nooks, original fireplaces, and wood panelling, now enhanced by warm lighting, elegant décor, and modern touches like a cool cocktail bar and an open-display kitchen. This creates a warm, cosy, and intimate ambience, perfect for visitors seeking a special meal. Since opening in December 2022, Gusto has aimed to bring this iconic Oxford location back to life, offering a sleek and inviting space for everything from morning coffee to evening dinners.
The menu presents a wide appeal with Italian-inspired dishes, featuring char-grilled specialities, stone-baked pizzas with airy sourdough crusts, and fresh seafood. Diners can enjoy traditional favourites such as pasta and risotto, available as starters or mains, alongside contemporary creations like pulled pork gnocchi or a honey-glazed duck with balsamic. Popular choices include the Gusto dough petals, pan-seared king scallops, and highly recommended desserts like their tiramisu. The restaurant caters to various preferences with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and even offers unique experiences like a chef's table and pizza-making classes. With friendly service and a vibrant atmosphere, it's a versatile spot for a romantic evening, a gathering with friends, or a memorable taste of Italy in the heart of Oxford.
