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.
