We started our meal with Burrata. It was so good - the fresh grapes and pistachio nuts blends well with sourdough bread and burrata cheese. We also ordered 2 kinds of pasta and a pizza. Their pizza Margherita was likewise a winner. Freshly cooked from their wood-fired oven, this pizza is so tasty and not dry at all. We especially liked that it was not thick. Goes well with the chili oil. Servers were accommodating too.
The food was amazing, prices were great aswell! We ended up trying the winterlicious menu and got (the fish one? Sorry I wasn’t the one ordering) not normally a fan of fish but it was pretty well done. The 2 pizza’s we got were amaze ofc! And the service was also very nice :) we were lucky enough to get a spot by walking in but I think call and ask ahead.
The food here is amazing!! Everything I had just kept getting better and better as they came out. The homemade focaccia was perfect, the calamari was probably the best I've had in a while, the sweet potatoes were a dream and with that brown butter (yum!), the octopus was my absolute favorite!!! If you like a little spice, don't miss out on this. And the pasta was superb I loved that lots of items were homemade. The house wine was very good and a dollar an oz made it even better lol I will be back to try more off that menu! If you're looking for a small cozy setting, this is it. Make a reservation because it gets pretty busy. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bartenders kept us entertained with great conversations. Highly recommend Gusto 101!! I hear they are expanding too :)
Had heard a lot about Gusto 101 and finally made it there for lunch to try their Winterlicious menu, mainly because of their famous Mafalde ai Funghi—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We started with Misticanza and Arancini. The arancini was delicious—crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. For mains, it had to be the Mafalde ai Funghi and a Margherita pizza. The Mafalde ai Funghi was oh my god, completely out of this world—hands down the best pasta I’ve ever had. The pizza was also really good, with a perfectly thin crust that didn’t feel heavy at all. We paired everything with a glass of house wine, which complemented the meal beautifully. For dessert, we tried the Tiramisù, which was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, while the cannoli was just okay in comparison. Overall, it was a very good experience—generous portions, warm and smiling staff, and a cozy, romantic setting made even better by the weather outside. Definitely a place I’d go back to again
Just need to start off by giving a big shoutout to Reilly, who was an absolutely fantastic host. He sat us down on the patio right away, kept an eye on the weather in case it started raining, gave us some great recommendations, and overall made the experience amazing from start to finish. Gusto 101 is a classic spot for authentic Italian cuisine with rich flavours and fresh ingredients. Every dish feels thoughtfully made, and you can really taste the care put into the food. I ordered the Cavatelli alla Vodka, which was delicious — generous portions of pancetta, and the combination of the vodka sauce with the stracciatella was perfect. My friend ordered the Rigatoni, and honestly, I already know that’s what I’ll be getting next time I’m back. The meat sauce was hearty without being overly salty, the pork was perfectly cooked, and the dish was easily a 10/10. They also have a great selection of sides. The house-made focaccia is a must-try, and the meatballs were excellent as well. For dessert, their tiramisu is light and creamy, a perfect way to end the meal! For a first impression, Gusto definitely made a great one. Delicious food, a great atmosphere, and outstanding service from Reilly. Highly recommend checking this place out. 10/10
I visited Gusto 101 on a Sunday evening for dinner. The restaurant wasn’t completely full, but it had a lively atmosphere. I was seated on the upper floor, which feels like a bright, covered terrace — a really pleasant spot to enjoy a meal. We started with the Arancini, my first time trying them, and I was pleasantly surprised. They come with two pieces, both flavorful and quite filling. For mains, we ordered the Cavatelli Alla Vodka, which was tasty and served in a generous portion. The presentation could be improved, but the flavor made up for it. We also tried the Mafalda Ai Funghi, which was equally delicious and came in a good portion size. The service was genuinely warm — the staff were friendly, attentive, and always smiling, which added to the overall experience. I recommend Gusto 101 if you’re looking for a nice dinner with solid Italian flavors in a cozy, stylish setting. Definitely worth a visit.
I really liked eating at this restaurant. The food was very good. They have a winter deal where you get an appetizer, a main dish, and a dessert , for a price of 35 . I got arancini for my appetizer, a burger for my main dish, and tiramisu for dessert. The burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I liked that it was not smashed and was cooked just the way I like it. My friends got pizza and pasta, and they liked their food too. Our server was very kind and attentive. He kept refilling our water and made sure we were doing well throughout the meal.
Had a really good experience at Gusto 101. The food was the highlight — full of flavor, generous portions, and beautifully plated. You can tell they prioritize quality ingredients and preparation. We ordered the arancini, mafalde al funghi, calamarata con gamberi, and the margherita pizza — everything was delicious and well executed. The only drawback was that the seating felt a bit tight and close together, which made it slightly less comfortable, especially during busy times. Aside from that, it’s a great spot with excellent food, and I’d definitely recommend it.
