Gusto in Manchester

Wonderful place for a group meal. We ordered online prior and got email confirmations of our selections. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. Loved the fresco with lots of Manchester references including Alan Turing and an enigma machine!

Josh the waiter was absolutely first class. Very knowledgeable, perfectly pitched suggestions and looked after us very well. Food great,venue great, service exceptional.

Josh was excellent, food and service was 10/10

Josh was an amazing waiter, excellent food and service!

Very nice restaurant, but do not order the steaks extremely small portion and the vegan steak it self was just a tiny strip and a couple potatoes. The mocktails are 90% ice. The mocha was not even mixed properly. I was not asked how my food was and the waiter seemed very disinterested. 12.5% service charge… for what exactly? Store bought steak and dessert and a glass of ice?

We had the pleasure of being served by Josh at Gusto Italian, and he truly made our dining experience exceptional. From the moment we sat down, Josh was attentive and friendly, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth. Every detail, from timely drink refills to checking in at just the right moments, showed his commitment to making sure we had a great time. The food was equally impressive. The chicken Caesar salad was crisp and full of flavor, with just the right amount of dressing and perfectly cooked chicken. The meat sourdough pizza was a highlight – the crust was light and crispy, and the toppings were fresh and full of flavor. Josh’s enthusiasm for his work really shone through, and it made us eager to return soon.

Great service by Josh, my favourite restaurant in Manchester, staff are lovely and food is great.

We have had a great meal tonight in Gusto. We both had the Sea Bass which was excellent. It is a smart place. The food and service are great and the atmosphere is always very good. Josh was a great host, friendly and engaging

Difficult to find a place with availability last minute in Knutsford on a Saturday, this was the only place left. We went for the steak experience £105. We know chateaux Briand needs to be cooked medium rare but quite a lot of it was raw, stone cold and inedible, actually hard to cut, when you are paying that much you expect perfection. The plates were also stone cold, big no no for me, and when the steak is barely warm to start this doesn't help. When the waiter asked if all was ok and we told him no it's too rare, he was not interested, I mentioned it 3 times to him. no response. It was tasty but parts were inedible so although we did indeed have an experience it wasn't the one we were expecting. Wine was a nice Ripasso and the shared dessert was also nice.

What an amazing night. White wine Statua was good, Vegan Flank Steak is great. Holly was really nice and Gusto has this good old school vibe.

Mia our waitress was so friendly, polite and efficient throughout the service. Lovely experience, amazing food and fab service.

Excellent service. Mia was a delight and couldn’t have been more attentive. A credit to Gusto! The food was also delicious especially the steak

Mia was excellent! Highly recommend!

Beautiful venue, attentive staff! Mia was great! Took our order promptly and drinks. Food was delicious cooked perfectly.

Good atmosphere with a bit of loud music from my perspective, but enough to enjoy the bar and the restaurant whenever you feel hungry. Great service; the team made the moment in the restaurant enjoyable, and I honestly do appreciate good service in a restaurant—it really should be basic! As for the food, there are a bit of mixed feelings. My carbonara spaghetti was supposedly original, but at that point, I felt like the non-authentic version might taste better. The spaghetti, for example, was a bit thick and not soft enough for my taste. I also tried the pan-fried filet of sea bass, and this was awesomely good. A bit of disappointment on the crème brûlée, as I’m sure it would taste better if it was warm. Overall, the food was neither bad nor excellent. I still recommend giving it a try!

Fantastic Service, Joshua was amazing.

Josh was brilliant, food was amazing!

Fantastic place to eat, Davide was great!! 100% recommend.

Went mid-week for the first time. Still a great atmosphere and the food was amazing. Out waiter, Josh, was superb and had great wine and food recommendations. The stick toffee pudding was amazing! Can't wait to come back

Our waiter Josh was superb! Very attentive and polite - his energy was on another level!!

Great night, excellent service from Josh

Big and nice place, well located, clean toilets and tables. Good waiters. Food was good.I was expecting more from the 3-meat lasagne: it barely had meat, just a few pulled strings, hard to note the savour/flavour. Although the tomato sauce is terrific, it is a must eat! A bit pricey for me. I am willing to return to taste their pizzas.

We felt very welcomed as soon as we stepped through the door. Our server was Josh and he was very friendly and made a very conscious effort to make sure we had the best time. The food was also 10/10, definitely recommend

Had an amazing meal ! Josh’s service was amazing(unreal recommendations) thank you so much !

Very poor never kept to there agreement and expensive

Josh is a top man. Great service.

Josh was absolutely amazing and engaging. Would definitely recommend Manchester Gusto. Thank you guys!

Josh the waiter. Amazing experience throughout. Lovely staff especially Josh. Little birthday treat and i am so happy! Steak cooked to perfection!

Lovely place for a special meal. A little on the expensive side but worth it for the extra special celebration.

Would prefer a table not near bar. Jasmine was 100 percent lovely delightful.

Lovely meal and great ambience. Our server Jasmine couldn’t have been more attentive.

Terrible experience. Staff seemed lazy and disinterested and the manager made matters worse.

Class food amazing Service Josh was a star loved his recommendations

Great place food was amazing but I felt slightly underdressed

It was very good Italian food with normal prices.

Good food, but the pasta was cold… Nice waiter, but the drinks took too long (5 min after food was served) Way too loud and noisy, they must do something with the acoustics

Josh was great as was Morgan, the food here was spectacular. Amazing pasta dishes and recommendations by the team

The food and our time here was excellent. Josh was an excellent waiter

Delicious food, perfect service #thankyoujosh

we had josh as our server and he was great! so accommodating and polite. we had a lovely meal for my friend’s birthday, thank you josh!

- it’s quite enjoyable to dine in this Gusto - services are outstanding, and Josh makes everyone of us feel welcomed and well taken care of

Very nice spacious place. Very good attention. The dishes are fair (preparation/flavor) and the quality of the product is good. The cost, with mandatory tip, is a little high for the value proposition of the food. The very oversold desserts.

Lovely food and great atmosphere. However, Josh our waiter made our night, so attentive and friendly. Thank you Josh!

Our waiter Josh was lovely, very attentive and brought a great atmosphere/ service. Highly recommend!!

This is best Italian restaurant in manchester the service is great the food is fantastic I don't know what else to say it is just amazing.

Had a lovely visit last night with Josh as our server. Service was fantastic and the menu had a wide range of dishes available. Food was really nice. Great evening overall!

Josh's customer service last night was superb…

5* Italian. Food is great, service is great, and the inside is gorgeous. We often do large events here, and we were recently served by Josh. He was so very attentive, friendly and a pleasure to be served by him - thank you for making that event so great for us all.

Josh was a great, service was great made us feel so welcome and helpful with the menu. Really appreciate it and would recommend gusto highly

Served by Joshua - his service was excellent, couldn’t fault it. Very engaging and attentive without being over the top. Food a little dry, but enjoyable. Calamari and Houmous starters were great

Good service from Josh, pizzas good but not enough selection on pizzas

Special shout out to Josh who was the best server!! 🌟

Amazing food and incredible service from Josh!

Service excellent from Josh. Quick express lunch with the team.

My partner and I visited Yesterday,to take advantage of the Sunday Roast Offer. Faultless experience .Warm welcome, friendly attentive waitress, delicious food at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.

Spot on. Been here a few times. Josh today was fantastic.

Drinks were good, food not so much. Not sure that anyone involved in this setup has ever been to Italy. Incredibly loud, not a place for conversation.

Got a fantastic table, lovely service and fantastic food.

We went here for my Birthday meal and it was absolutely lovely. Josh served us and he couldn’t have been better. So friendly and helpful! We would definitely come again

Joshua was a brilliant waiter, couldn’t be more polite, helpful and overall lovely. Food was delicious and came out hot
