REVIEWS OF Gusto - Edinburgh

Warren Strachan (8 July 2011)

I was taken to this restaurant by a client of mine from work. It was the first time I had eaten here despite being based on Charlotte Square. The food was fresh and of a very high standard as was the service. I would like to particularly thank our waiter who was incredibly helpful and spoke eloquently about the wine list. It was perfect for a business meeting and I will be taking all of my clients here in the future.

Kenny W (5 April 2011)

I came to Gusto for a lunch meeting. I was thoroughly impressed with the level of service and quality of food. It was certainly not what I would expect on George Street for the very reasonable price.
