The food in terms of servings is 10 over 10. Taste: AMAZING!! My friend and I both had pasta dishes, a little salty BUT perfect in every way, plating, aesthetics hygiene -top tier.
The guys working the floor were amazing and paid attention to Detail, thank you UTI and I totally forgot the second guys that assisted us.
The live music band added the cherry on top. This is a perfect spot for casual,formal lunches and dinners both with family and friends. It’s a place you can come to dressed up or down (figuratively)

I highly recommend this place as the layout of the restaurant is modern and interesting and it also has a beautiful view.
Regarding the food, my spicy pasta was fantastic, but our chicken and mushroom pasta was very bland. Why there was a bowl of tomato sauce with the chillies and parmesan cheese on the table, escapes me. Replace the tomato sauce with garlic. Makes more sense.
Easy covered parking close to the restaurant.

From the risotto balls starter to the ravioli to the delectable desserts, Gusto delivered. Not all the menu items were available on the night, but that did not bother to much. The pizza was the star of the show for me though. Light airy crust yet crispy. Perfect balance of toppings. Awesome informative service. Back we will be...

Prosciutto Pizza
I've been there a few times now. The food is great and there is a nice range to choose from. The service is decent, not bad but nothing special.
I was there last night and was disappointed with my main though. I like my steak medium rare. It came closer to well done (that's the one in the picture). I sent it back and I got a steak that was extremely rare. I was starving so rare works better than well done for me. I love steak, so this did not sit well with me at all. First time I haven't been happy with the food here.
I haven't yet tried their desserts. I'm generally stuffed after eating starters and mains. I saw a creme brulee on the menu and I'm still in the hunt for a good one. May go there just for that at some point.

Went for a little treat as this place has one of the best lava desserts around.
Pictures:
- Chocolate lava cake (amazing)
- Ice cream and black cherry filled chocolate dome (average). It's vanilla ice cream with black cherry flavoured droplets on the plate - not in the ice cream.
Live music was a really nice vibe - she was great.

Lunch date with my wife. We ordered the Tomahawk 800g steak with Spinach and parmasan Mash potatoes. The food was really devine. Excellent service as well. Not much of an atmosphere to speak off.
The place is cozy, private and nice for a date night.

The food at Gusto is great but the service leaves very little to be desired. It was a fairly busy night so maybe that’s why the service was slow, but the waiter was friendly and the manager came to check but for most of the evening we wondered where our waiter is when we wanted to order. The food does save the place as the mains and starter were fresh and delicious but the tiramisu was awful, it was taken back and removed off the bill thankfully. The food does offer value for money for the portions and the restaurant has great ambiance.
I will definitely be going back in the hopes that service improves.

Cornelius was the most amazing waiter and made our night so special. He was always there when we needed him and made our first experience at Gusto a night to remember (please let him know). The food was spectacular too, compliments to the chef. We will definitely be returning very soon. Thank you!

No complaints, only compliments. From the get-go, their email correspondence for a big reservation was so quick. Then they chose a lovely table for us. The service was excellent and our glasses were never empty.
The food arrived quickly as well as the cocktails. The portion was perfect and it was also DIVINE. The restaurant is not overpriced, especially for the amount of food you get. The only slight criticism is that the eggplant dish had too much cheese.
The manager was also very involved and we had such a great time. Only good things last Saturday. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
