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 had a lovely experience at Gusto Urban Italian Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and the warm welcome we received made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The only thing that almost put us off was the wait before a waiter came to our table to take our order. It took longer than expected, and we were beginning to wonder if we had been forgotten. Once we were attended to, however, the service improved, and the rest of the experience was enjoyable. Overall, I would recommend Gusto for its great food and welcoming atmosphere, and I hope the initial service time can be improved.

    The restaurant was very busy, which made service a bit slow. However, I truly enjoyed the food and the ambience, and their prices are reasonable

    The food tasted excellent. However my wife Main course portion of food was not much bigger than a starter (spinach and ricotta cannoli) that was our only disappointment.
