REVIEWS OF Gusto - Cookridge

eleanor (17 August 2011)

our very first visit certainly will not be the last. beautiful food, pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, but what really stood out was the friendliness and attitude of the staff.

Ben Roberts (6 April 2011)

Having never been before, I visited Gusto last night with my girlfriend. The restaurant was buzzing for a Tuesday evening, and rightly so as the service and food we received was top notch. We sat in the downstairs section near the olive tree, which was lit up by fairy lights - a nice quirky feature. Both of us had starters, mains and shared a dessert and our bill came at £70 including a bottle of wine, which we both agreed was very reasonable. A great find if you are looking for a nice relaxing meal without the hustle and bustle of a city centre restaurant. We will definitely be back.
