Gusto (pronounced Goo-sto) means tasty in Italian. Since opening our doors in 2012, Gusto 101 has been serving up modern takes on Southern Italian classics. As with Trattoria Nervosa in Yorkville, Janet Zuccarini has meshed a passion for creating memorable food with a vision for delivering soulful, transporting dining experiences.

We put as much care and consideration into our food and drink as we do our architecture and design. Located in a repurposed garage in the heart of downtown Toronto, our restaurant has become a neighbourhood gathering place. Whether you’re craving the warmth of a wood-fired grill or a glass of wine on our rooftop patio, we do our best to merge the everyday with the exceptional.

    Good food, good wine, very loud to the point where it’s hard to have a conversation with the person across the table.

    We’ve lost count of how many times we’ve visited Gusto because the food is always fantastic. Unfortunately, the service during our latest visit was disappointing. Our server came across as unfriendly, standoffish, and borderline rude, which was surprising, as we’ve never experienced this level of service here before. Not sure if we'll be back.

    Second time there. The food is amazing as always but the service is a bit disappointing. As an industrial person, I always try to be understanding. I felt rushed the moment I entered the restaurant. The host told us that we only had 1.5 hours dinning time on a Thursday night. Then the server kinda forced us to order the “signature pasta”. We understand that the turn over is important for the restaurant and they didn’t really kick us out even when we passed 2 hours. However, the server threw the bill on the table makes us really uncomfortable that we decided to tip 12% which we even thought was too much.

    First time at Gusto 101 and what a treat! We had friends in from Chicago and they said it was some of the best Italian food they've every had. Our waiter Lorenzo was a true professional, very attentive and available to answer all our questions while at the same time making very honest suggestions. The kitchen is an efficient machine creating timeless classic italian dishes and modern twists. We loved everything we ate and highly recommed you add Gusto 101 to your bucket list of culinary experiences.

    We were rushed out of the restaurant cause they said they had other reservation and provided poor service. Came for a birthday and they did nothing for it or knowledge it although noted on the reservation and even when we told the waitress she said we could get a dessert and they could stick a candle in it. Got a rude comment when asked to get a certain drink. Only did one bill for six people which was not mentioned first. Also very small portion sizes for pasta.
