Gusto 101 is a new restaurant in Toronto opened more than 6 months ago.
Gusto (pronounced Goo-sto) means tasty in Italian. Since opening our doors in 2012, Gusto 101 has been serving up modern takes on Southern Italian classics. As with Trattoria Nervosa in Yorkville, Janet Zuccarini has meshed a passion for creating memorable food with a vision for delivering soulful, transporting dining experiences. We put as much care and consideration into our food and drink as we do our architecture and design. Located in a repurposed garage in the heart of downtown Toronto, our restaurant has become a neighbourhood gathering place. Whether you’re craving the warmth of a wood-fired grill or a glass of wine on our rooftop patio, we do our best to merge the everyday with the exceptional.

Food was great, we were sat near the kitchen. We saw our food come out and just sat there for a few minutes as the servers either didn't notice or decided to complete other tasks before serving our food. As a result the pizza came to our table a bit soggy as it steamed itself on the plate. Still tasted great though.

Freshly baked bread arrived at the table, still steaming from the oven. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. Every dish was a testament to the chef's passion for authentic Italian cuisine. Dining there was a truly delightful experience.

Great vibes even better food. I highly recommend the truffle mushroom pasta it’s honestly the most delicious and versatile thing I’ve had. Also finish off the night with the tiramisu it’s great for sweet treat lovers

We had our meal upstairs which was a spacious bright space and not cold at all. Focaccia was to die for. I ordered fungi mushroom pizza for entree and absolutely loved it.

Fantastic pizza. I love the cheese they used and it tasted delicious. Calamari was fine, wish there was another dipping sauce as I wasn’t a fan of this one! The lemon didn’t have much juice, but I’m sure you could ask for more. Pasta was fine, portion is a bit small, not to my taste either but my friend loved it. I would return for the pizza.

Great food. The mushroom pasta is def worth the hype. Tiramisu was like a fluffy cloud. Their reservation system said there were no tables available at 5.30 but when we arrived at 5 the upstairs was empty. We were rushed and asked to leave at 6.45pm even though there were empty tables in the room. The hostess upstairs needs some customer service training. So much attitude!!

I have been to this place thrice and finally sharing a review At Gusto 101 , each dish feels like a love letter to Italian cuisine. The Arancini arrive crispy and golden, revealing creamy, cheesy centers that melt in your mouth. Their Margherita Pizza is a celebration of simplicity, with fresh basil, ripe tomatoes, and mozzarella on a perfectly charred crust. And for something a little richer, the Funghi Pizza is a mushroom lover’s dream, with earthy flavors and a hint of truffle oil. Every bite transports you straight to Italy! And last but not least, The Tiramisu is a velvety indulgence, blending mascarpone and espresso with just the right sweetness. Also Sous Chef Harshal brings skill, passion, and creativity to every dish that leaves the kitchen. Known for his attention to detail and dedication to authentic Italian flavors, he adds a unique touch to each plate. His expertise elevates your dining experience.

Went here right at the end of happy hour and it was quite busy! We got seats at the bar which had a nice view of the kitchen and we could see them grill the stuff. We ordered the house wine which quickly came. We had some other foods as well. The mushroom pasta had a nice texture and a good cheesy flavour. The noodles were especially pleasing to eat. The texture and length were enjoyable. The pizza was tasty and had good shape. Quite pleasing to eat. The beef carpaccio was also nicely prepared. It had a lot of cheesy flavour to it as it was topped with it. It was a visually pleasing dish, while also tasting good. Overall, It was quite nice!
