Where la dolce vita meets Aussie spirit!

Bar Gusto is a celebration of two rich and diverse cultures colliding in Bowen Hills, on the fringe of Fortitude Valley. From the moment you step through our doors, you’re transported to a vibrant space where the aroma of authentic Italian dishes mingles with the enticing frivolity of staff that greet you, making every visit feel like you’re at home.

The atmosphere buzzes with laughter, conversation, music and the clinking of glasses as friends, families, and colleagues come together to create lasting memories.

Whether you’re wanting an alfresco lunch and cocktails under the fig tree, or to savour a selection of antipasti and wine in the evening, Bar Gusto invites you to indulge in the best of both worlds.

To enquire or make a reservation, contact our friendly staff.

Limited range of menu options, all were good sized servings. There was spicy chilli in the seafood pasta - not mentioned on the menu. No table service and clearing of dishes slow. Redeeming factor - free desserts on Tuesdays! Lovely place to sit under the fig tree on a round table

Beautiful pizza and a nice setting outside under the fig tree. The staff are great - very friendly and switched on. Basic wine list, but we picked a nice SA Shiraz to drink with the really good pizza! It's a great place to pop into before or after an event - there are lots of event venues around there and it's well placed for that.

Was super understaffed. The staff on shift were trying their best but were slammed from when we got there at 5:30 til we left at 7. Our drinks took over a hour to come out and waiting in line to order was 20 minutes. Management seriously needs to help those poor guys out. Running around and trying their best with zero help.

The waitress who served us at “Kelly Holmes” table was absolutely the most rudest person I have ever met in my life . So arrogant and spoke SO condescendingly to us when we asked a simple question if our tables could move some chairs to one table . Her response basically was “you can still see each other” “you can walk..” everyone was shocked. We were actually going to leave and walk right out immediately just based on how she spoke to us . But instead I told everyone to just stay and decided to just provide this review after . We will never ever come back due to that one staff member and I’ll be telling all my family friends colleagues about this and to never go here . She had Brown hair short had some tattoos . She honestly should not be working in customer service . She spoke to people terribly and then proceeded to talk down our group to another staff member behind the bar. Disgusting . Work on your behaviour and the way that you talk to people . Never again.

Once we were seated, it took quite some time for the waitress to bring some menus to us (it was not busy - only a handful of other customers). We ordered some chips, ravioli and a salami pizza. Unfortunately, with only four pieces of salami, the pizza was not good value for money. The ravioli and chips were great.
