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.

    A little disappointed that we said it was a birthday on the reservation and this was not acknowledged in any way. Our waiter was very helpful with the wine list and provided samples before ordering a bottle of wine but he brought us 2 glasses instead of a bottle. It’s a bit chilly seated upstairs by the windows. Food was delicious and wine was very good. I will go back but will specify seating downstairs next time!

    Our server (Tyrone) was rude and giving off an attitude during our entire stay. It felt like he didn’t want to be in a Customer Service role at all. We used to love Gusto 101 for its food and service but not anymore.

    Great place! Great service. Bar is nice as they can make common drinks such as Mojito which may not be on the menu.

    Gusto continues to have the best wine deals with their house wine at $1/oz. Delightful pizza snacks pasta and the Brussel sprouts appetizer was delicious. We were there mid afternoon which was great fro noise level. Only complaint was there wasn’t a place to hang my floor length coat without it dragging on the floor. Otherwise, awesome.
