The food was amazing, prices were great aswell! We ended up trying the winterlicious menu and got (the fish one? Sorry I wasn’t the one ordering) not normally a fan of fish but it was pretty well done. The 2 pizza’s we got were amaze ofc! And the service was also very nice :) we were lucky enough to get a spot by walking in but I think call and ask ahead.

Gusto 101 has a super stylish interior and a fantastic happy hour deal. The food, especially the delicious beef carpaccio, superb truffle pasta, and the best focaccia I've ever had, was outstanding. The only minor flaw was that service felt slow despite the large number of available staff on a quiet weekday evening.

I had a really enjoyable experience at Gusto 101. The warm atmosphere makes itself felt the moment you walk through the door. The pastas are truly excellent; the portions are generous and the flavours are well balanced. The cocktail and wine list is extensive. The service was generally quick and attentive, although there can be a bit of a wait during busy hours. Prices are reasonable by Toronto standards; considering the quality and ambiance, it’s well worth it. Overall, I would highly recommend Gusto 101 to anyone looking for delicious Italian food and a great atmosphere.

Gusto doesn't miss. Luckily made a reservation for 4 people on a Monday night at 6:15PM as it was quite busy. If you've never had their mushroom pasta, it's a must try. We ordered the arancini, calamari, Gusto burger, mafalde Ai fungchi (mushroom pasta), pepperoni pizza and the patate salsiccie pizza. I wouldn't recommend getting the arancini and the patate salsiccie pizza. It was my first time having the burger and it was good. Note they have $1 per oz house wine. Highly recommend and always fown to come back as it's my go to spot for a reliable pasta meal.

Came here late at night after the Raptors game, just before closing, and the staff were kind enough to accommodate us. Service was okay, they got everything done, but it didn’t feel particularly attentive. The food, however, was great. The meatballs were honestly some of the best I’ve had, and the lasagna was really solid as well. I tried the mushroom pasta since the staff mentioned it was one of their best dishes, but it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. The location is super convenient, right in a busy spot in downtown Toronto near the Entertainment District. Overall, good experience and I’ll definitely be back for those meatballs.

The food here is amazing!! Everything I had just kept getting better and better as they came out. The homemade focaccia was perfect, the calamari was probably the best I've had in a while, the sweet potatoes were a dream and with that brown butter (yum!), the octopus was my absolute favorite!!! If you like a little spice, don't miss out on this. And the pasta was superb 👌🏽 I loved that lots of items were homemade. The house wine was very good and a dollar an oz made it even better lol I will be back to try more off that menu! If you're looking for a small cozy setting, this is it. Make a reservation because it gets pretty busy. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bartenders kept us entertained with great conversations. Highly recommend Gusto 101!! I hear they are expanding too :)

I really liked eating at this restaurant. The food was very good. They have a winter deal where you get an appetizer, a main dish, and a dessert , for a price of 35 . I got arancini for my appetizer, a burger for my main dish, and tiramisu for dessert. The burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I liked that it was not smashed and was cooked just the way I like it. My friends got pizza and pasta, and they liked their food too. Our server was very kind and attentive. He kept refilling our water and made sure we were doing well throughout the meal.

Had a really good experience at Gusto 101. The food was the highlight — full of flavor, generous portions, and beautifully plated. You can tell they prioritize quality ingredients and preparation. We ordered the arancini, mafalde al funghi, calamarata con gamberi, and the margherita pizza — everything was delicious and well executed. The only drawback was that the seating felt a bit tight and close together, which made it slightly less comfortable, especially during busy times. Aside from that, it’s a great spot with excellent food, and I’d definitely recommend it.

Gusto 101 absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered the mushroom pizza that everyone raves about, and it did not disappoint—rich, creamy, and packed with incredible flavour. The handmade pasta was cooked to perfection, clearly fresh and done right. We also had bread and additional pizza for the table, both of which were fantastic and perfect for sharing. The calamari was delicious—light, well-seasoned, and not greasy at all. For mains, we ordered the veal Parmesan, and it was massive—in the best way. Flattened exactly the way it should be, perfectly cooked, and so good I ate it right down to the bone and finished the entire plate. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and our server was attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. Overall, an outstanding meal from start to finish. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Had heard a lot about Gusto 101 and finally made it there for lunch to try their Winterlicious menu, mainly because of their famous Mafalde ai Funghi—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We started with Misticanza and Arancini. The arancini was delicious—crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. For mains, it had to be the Mafalde ai Funghi and a Margherita pizza. The Mafalde ai Funghi was oh my god, completely out of this world—hands down the best pasta I’ve ever had. The pizza was also really good, with a perfectly thin crust that didn’t feel heavy at all. We paired everything with a glass of house wine, which complemented the meal beautifully. For dessert, we tried the Tiramisù, which was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, while the cannoli was just okay in comparison. Overall, it was a very good experience—generous portions, warm and smiling staff, and a cozy, romantic setting made even better by the weather outside. Definitely a place I’d go back to again
