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.

Gusto 101 delights with "amazing food and great service," and "a terrific vibe." Guests rave about the "best truffle pasta" and "delicious" dishes like pizza and calamari. The "energetic atmosphere" adds to the charm. While some note service inconsistencies, the overall experience remains a "cult favourite" in Toronto.

    The food here is excellent. The restaurant is very loud. We were at a small table for two and could barely speak to each other. Also, the floor tiles on the second floor flex and move when people walk by. It shakes your whole table. My wife commented that she felt like she was eating on a cruise ship during a storm.

    This is a very popular place, very crowded on a Thursday evening. The food is good. Their bread is awesome. It would be great if they introduce some white meat options as well.

    Pizza was cold… not even warm. Servers weren’t attentive hanging out at the back talking while I tried getting their attention, had to finally get up after not being seen by 6-7 people. As a former server that’s unacceptable service. Wont be back.

    I like Gusto, but I find the quality of the food to be somewhat inconsistent. It is good enough that I will keep going, but it is unfortunately not consistent enough to make it a regular to-go.

    I would highly recommend Gusto 101. After all these years it still delivers quality food and service. We sat at the bar and the food and service was excellent. We had a mushroom pizza that was delicious, a kale caesar salad that had avocado on it (I’ll be adding avocado to mine now) and the octopus (great portion and delicious).

    Table/seating was WAY to close to the other table. Frantic staff and the quality of food dropped royally. Haven't been back in 5 years, and glad I haven't been. Mediocre restaurant.
