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 recently celebrated our son’s acceptance into university at Gusto’s, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The atmosphere, food, and service were exceptional. A special thank you to the awesome manager, Zunoon, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and made our celebration feel genuinely special. Our waiter, Uti, delivered excellent service — professional, warm, and consistently attentive throughout the evening. This experience reminded us why Gusto’s is one of our favourite places to dine. We’ll be back again this Saturday, as we usually are, and we’re already looking forward to it. We absolutely love Gusto’s!

    My partner and I dined here recently, and the experience was uneven at best. We started with the Carpaccio di Manzo (3/5). The flavours were dry and flat. It did not feel fun or exciting and failed to set a strong tone for the meal. For mains, I ordered the Cannelloni al Ragù di Carne (5/5), which I genuinely enjoyed. It was rich, comforting, and well executed. I would return just for this dish. My partner ordered the Rigatoni al Ragù di Maiale (2/5), which was deeply disappointing. I tasted it myself and found it unpleasant. She tried to salvage it by adding a lot of garlic and cheese just to mask the flavour, but even then she could not finish the meal. We shared a tiramisu (1/5) for dessert, which was inexplicably watery. You could literally taste water. We stopped halfway and gave up. We informed the restaurant about the disappointing rigatoni and the tiramisu. Only the dessert was comped, which felt inadequate given the overall experience. Service was poor throughout the evening. Anytime we needed assistance, we had to call someone over. Our waiter’s shift ended after the starter, and nobody informed us or took over the table. We were left sitting for a while until I asked someone to take our mains order. The same thing happened when we wanted dessert. Service flow and communication need urgent improvement. While I would consider returning for my cannelloni, my partner’s experience was bad enough that she would not want to come back, and I understand why.
