Let’s Talk Food

Gusto’s menu is a true celebration of Italian cuisine, with something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’re a fan of hearty pasta dishes, wood-fired pizzas, or fresh seafood, you’ll find plenty to love here.

On this occasion for starters, we kicked things off with a deliciously rich beef tortellini—perfectly tender pasta wrapped around juicy beef, and paired with garlic pizza bread topped with tomato and herb goodness. And, of course, we couldn’t resist the Gusto dough petals—crispy, warm, and the perfect indulgence to share! For the main event, we both went for the Rib Eye steak—juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. Served with crispy chips and a creamy peppercorn sauce, it was everything you want in a classic steak dish. We also added a side of vibrant seasonal greens, making it the perfect balance of flavors and textures.

We have been many times and have never tried a dish that disappointed! For those after something lighter, the Chicken Caesar Salad is fresh, crisp, and generously portioned. And if you’re a dessert lover, save room for their Tiramisu. It’s creamy, indulgent, and a flawless way to end your meal.

Kids aren’t left out either. Gusto’s children’s menu is thoughtfully designed, with smaller portions of their best dishes to keep the little ones happy while still giving them a taste of authentic Italian cooking.

Drinks That Delight

What’s Italian dining without a great drink to match? Gusto’s cocktail menu is impressive, featuring both classic and signature creations. Wine lovers will appreciate their extensive list, with plenty of options to complement your meal, and if you are looking for a non-alcholic drink, there’s a range of mocktails, non alcoholic beers, soft drinks, and freshly brewed coffee to enjoy.
