Gusto (pronounced Goo-sto) means tasty in Italian. Located in Toronto’s Corktown neighbourhood, Gusto 501 brings together the innovation of sister restaurant Gusto 101 and the soulful hospitality of Janet Zuccarini’s first restaurant, Trattoria Nervosa. Since opening our doors in 2020, Gusto 501 has been serving fresh takes on Italian fare in Toronto’s east end. Designed by award-winning architecture firm PARTISANS, Gusto 501’s space is punctuated by glowing terracotta walls and an oversized “garage door” façade that opens up to reveal a multi-level dining theatre.

Every level of Gusto 501 unfolds into a unique experience. Whatever you're craving, there's always a seat at the table for you - our famiglia.

    The food was great! And very nice environment for a date night. Only thing to improve would be the seats. The seats were a little bit too close to others.

    We got the Arancini for a starter and it was amazing. So tasty. My fiancé got the burger as a main, and he said he really enjoyed it. I got tiger prawns and it was so tasty, perfect amount of food. Wine on tap was delicious and an amazing deal! Will be back
