Gusto Urban Italian Restaurant is located in Century City, Cape Town – an
Italian inspired restaurant with a wood-fired oven and views over Ratanga Park and
Canal.
Infused with contemporary and urban influences, it has a far more stylish and trendy
feel than your traditional trattoria or pizzeria. Gusto includes to-go and deli offerings,
true Italian style al fresco dining on the piazza, and an extensive wine list with both
local and Italian favourites - curated by the collaboration of a South African
sommelier and Italian chef, ensuring the wine and food complement each other and
remain true to the Urban Italian inspiration of Gusto.
Take in the calming canal views indoors or sit back in the piazza, in true Italian
alfresco style, and start or end your day with a plate of joy, a plate of vibrance, a
plate of Gusto.

    We started out and celebrated our 20th anniversary at Gustos. Amazing service from the greeting at the door with the lovely hostess, to Manager Jaundré who is consistently professional and polite, to our awesome waiter Uti that served us again. The Norwegian salmon was dare I say, the very best I’ve had since this far in a dining experience! Compliments to the chef. We received a delicious tiramisu as a kind gesture for our anniversary. We seem to be weekly regulars at Gustos as a family, obsessed and LOVE the restaurant!

    I’ve been a few times before but for some reason this time was better than any time before. Food was great, whiskey sours were delicious and service was great. Love that there’s no music to interfere with conversation.
