Since opening in December 2022, this beautifully refurbished Grade II-listed setting has welcomed diners to enjoy an array of classic and contemporary Italian dishes. Whether you're seated with a bright window view of the bustling street, tucked into a jewel-toned booth, or gathered around the chef's table for a unique pizza-making experience, the ambience is both friendly and special. The extensive menu features everything from stone-baked pizzas and traditional pastas to char-grilled delights and fresh seafood, ensuring a taste of Italy for every visitor.
Beyond the main dining areas, which can accommodate up to 170 guests, Gusto Italian boasts a private dining room complete with its own bar, perfect for celebrations or intimate gatherings. The restaurant prides itself on using quality ingredients and offers a diverse menu that extends to brunch, Sunday roasts, and an impressive selection of cocktails, including the theatrical Smokey Old Fashioned.
