Josh was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Will definitely be coming again :)

Unbelievable food & service from Nick. Couldn’t recommend a better waiter. Can’t wait to come back with my family.

Another lovely visit and another great time. Food was up to standard as per usual and Nick was great. Can’t wait for another visit.

Server Mia was amazing and quick, food was fantastic

Service was great and Mia was fantastic, very helpful and attentive :)

Josh is rlly kind and warm. We had an amazing time here!!!

Josh is really nice, I’m happy to celebrate my birthday here.😆

Lovely service, great food and a cosy atmosphere, even for a quiet Sunday afternoon. Mia, our server, was more than helpful. Thank you!

Popped in early in the week with my brother for quick lunch and some drinks. Everything was brilliant and our server Nick did amazing job.

Mia was our server and was so lovely, super attentive for the bottomless brunch and really felt you got your moneys worth. Drinks are delicious and a really good range, always kept topped up. One of the best bottomless brunches. Food was fine and really good portion for bottomless brunch

I came to gusto for dinner with my friends and was served by davide, he was so lovely and welcoming. He was more than willing to go the extra mile for us. What a lovely team they have. Will definitely recommend and come back for a visit x

Great food and quick service. Had a lovely server, Davide, who was very helpful and kind.

Service was really good by nick

After browsing the John Ryland Library, we wanted some delicious pasta. Welcomed into the inviting space, Davide was a gracious waiter whose professionalism and friendliness were exemplary. Our dinner was outstanding, the ravioli some of the best we’ve had. A must visit if you’re in Spinningfields!

We were a group of 5 celebrating my daughter’s birthday . Lovely evening from start to finish . Attentive staff and delicious food beautifully presented and generous portions . Picture of Italian Style Humous starter . Will definitely be returning .

Went with my family visiting from Ireland . Food and service from Nick were brilliant.

Another nice visit at Gusto Manchester.Food,drinks and service from Nick were 5*! Already looking forward to next visit!

From the off this establishment was a massive let down, from the stupidly expensive food to the chiefs singing loud football chants. For starter i received what can only be described as 4 burnt tasteless meatballs in some red dish water sauce. Then followed up by the ‘ 3 meat ‘ ragu, even though i struggled to find even 1 meat let alone 3 ! Bland, sent back and got back the same thing but now under done pasta instead the £11 glass of wine to wash it down was perfect side to this abysmal dish. Expected so much more from somewhere that has such a great decor inside and out. The waitress who served us was pleasant and by her express when i told her i would not be paying for my meal or the service charge, there was no complaints as i’m sure she had heard to same thing many times before. I will not be returning to this location or any other around the country. please avoid, you’ll be saving not just your money but your tastebuds.

We felt the service was too quick, it felt rushed. For eg, our main plates where cleared and literally 30 seconds later we were presented with a desert menu, without asking. We had three courses within 90 minutes. The restaurant isn’t 100% clean. There were marks on the walls in the window alcoves. Also the window sills need painting. There was also lots of dust on the glass light shades. These should be dusted daily so the customers don’t get dust in their meal. We feel this restaurant is pretending to be something it isn’t. It’s quite pretentious. We only visit as we like the location and the foid. However, over £11 for a starter and over £9 for a desert is over the average you pay in other restaurants. With this in mind we are unlikely to visit again soon. Our bill was £117 for three courses and a bottle of wine. A service charge was added at 12.5% which was neatly £14. We asked this to be removed as we don’t believe in paying it.

Excellent Service, highly recommend especially if you have a Nut/Peanut allergy

Beth was our waitress and did an amazing job shes full of smiles and listen to how me and my girlfriend had longed for each over for 28 years honestly if your looking for an amazing italian inmanchester your need to try this place the food is amazing and we have said we will come back as she has had 3 proposals on the table and hopefully we can make it forth before anyone else does thank you for the amazing food and thank you again beth for listening to our love story

Our host Beth was fantastic - really great food, great options for veggies, great atmosphere, at really good prices. 10/10 would recommend:))

Really nice service. Thank you.

waiters very attentive and great experience overall, did a bottomless brunch and we were constantly getting new drinks, food delicious also!

I’m really sorry to say that, but this is the worst “Italian” food I’ve ever tried. Didn’t even stand next to Italian cuisine. Absolutely tasteless and salty in the same time. Carbonara was the biggest dissapointment, we asked for the dessert menu before we even got our starters, but after the food we didn’t even want to risk it with ordering the desserts.

Mike was very attentive and a great server

Nick served us today. He was fabulous! Paid great attention to our table. Made out friends birthday super special.

The starter was nice tomato based garlic bread , main lacked flavour (rigatoni arrabbiata) was quite disappointing tasted very bland. Sticky toffee pudding was nice. Everything else about the place was good the service & atmosphere was very lively. Other members of my party had mixed feelings on their mains, all starters were very nice though apparently.

Lovely food, great service and atmosphere. Enjoyable ascetic, bartenders were lovely. Music was at optimal levels was able to talk to everyone at out table without shouting and all our food arrived at very similar times. Highly reccommend!

Josh was amazing, very polite and excellent service overall.

Josh was great! Very polite and helpful! Lovely experience thank you.

Thanks so much for Sarah for helping me arrange our work’s do! The food was amazing and the service from our waitress Elena was impeccable and she was incredibly helpful! Definitely recommend!

Four of us had a quick lunch-stop and really enjoyed our visit. Our server, Josh, was very friendly and made us very welcome.

Very nice restaurant, ravioli was exquisite and Josh was a gracious waiter. Will definitely return!

Josh gave us an amazing service! Would recommend to anyone!

Had Josh as the waiter. Lovely fella. Definitely recommend the place

Josh was so lovely, made sure all of my intolerances were looked into. Made my experience really enjoyable.

My partner and I had dinner here and it was so lovely. We were served by Grace who was very friendly and attentive :) We will definitely be back soon!

Aunque el servicio era bueno, la comida no. El marido le devolvió la comida (feticucina de cangrejo) ya que estaba muy seca. Compartir el arranque estaba bien, pero nada que delirar y no vale la pena ser un especial. Mi risotto fue promedio. Pagamos 130 libras. 00 y lamentar cada centavo. No nos importa pagar si la comida es de buena calidad, pero no volvería aquí.

Josh is one of the best waiter in the buisness

Josh was a great waiter! Great advice to have the sticky toffee pudding Great food, great staff enjoyed it

Had a fantastic dinner here tonight, and our waiter Josh truly made the experience. He was friendly, attentive, and knew the menu well. His timing was perfect, and he made us feel genuinely taken care of without being overbearing. Service like that is hard to come by — Josh is a standout!

Very nice food with exceptional service from Josh

First time at this lovely restaurant, the service was great, the atmosphere was lively, but the portions leave a lot to be desired. Ordered the 3 meat lasagne, but the portion was so small, it actually looked like a children's portion !!! Very dissatisfied with the amount of food for the price !!!. Overall nice place, but wouldn't order the same option from the menu

A great all round dinner. Service from Josh was especially spot on, especially with our toddler.

Amazing food and drinks but especially good service by Mia she made our night!

Went for the Missus 21st birthday and the staff were very polite and welcoming. Received pudding on the house. Thank you!

Josh was lovely with us, went in on my birthday week, got a candle in my dessert and a free shot with the bill 10/10

We had Josh as our waiter and he provided great service

We were a party of 20 people & most except 2 children were on the bottomless brunch package. The food was excellent but more so the excellent service from the team. Nothing was too much trouble. Josh especially was looking after us & is a credit to the restaurant. He was so attentive & made sure we were happy with everything at every step. He kept the drinks flowing & was friendly & professional throughout. Thank you Josh. Can't recommend this restaurant highly enough. Great experience 👍 Molly & Ian Hodgson

4th time coming back here. Great service, loved the meal, will definitely be back again.

Lovely meal, great service from our waiter Josh!

Josh was our waiter for the day, was professional funny and gave excellent service.

Update: since they replied on here, we got in touch and they invited us back over. My friends were a bit skeptical but actually really enjoyed their meal. The quality of food was so different from Christmas, they said that they have changed their mind about Gusto and would consider going back with their partners. Summary: When me and two of my friends went for festive lunch in December, we were served the worst Christmas lunch we have ever had. We wrote to say how disappointed we were afterwards on 15th December and they never even responded. Photo: the main dish in the photo is untouched. It came like this. Details: For the last 20 years, me and my uni friends have festive lunch every year in December. I’m in charge of finding restaurants that serve Christmas lunch that’s reasonable and tasty. This year, I chose Gusto because I’ve been here before and they have been okay. Two of my friends had starter. Chicken pate and mushroom bruschetta. Both bread was so stale, they couldn’t chew them. I tried both and we even struggled to tear it because it was that stale. We all ordered turkey for the main. The carrots were completely raw and we got the tiniest amount of gravy. When I asked if they had more gravy, the waiter said yes sure, and brought us a small pot of extra gravy. When we went to pay, we found that they charged us £2 extra and we weren’t even told that would cost extra. To make this worse, when we booked, the menu they had online said £31.95 for three courses (2024 price) yet when we got to the restaurant, the same menu had increased yo £38.95. My friends are normally not the type to complain but they asked me to write in to say how disappointed they were. I wrote to them on 15th December and they never even replied. I was already disappointed in the whole experience but their service was normally pretty good so I expected to hear back at least so I was even more disappointed. This put us so bad that we probably won’t go here again. Like I said, their Italian food is normally ok but there are plenty of other Italian restaurants that serve better quality pasta and pizza.

Josh and Sarah were amazing and made the night such an amazing time!

Great service from Josh made the whole experience for us, travelled all day and his knowledge and recommendations were spot on would 100% come back

Great time at gusto with a group of 7. Our waiter Josh was fantastic and treated us very well. Thanks Josh!

I went for the bottomless brunch and the food was really bad. I ordered the sea bass and it was very bland no seasoning. The brunch itself the cocktails were watery ended up just sticking to Prosecco. The only good thing is the waitress Elena was amazing! Such excellent customer service!

Thanks for a lovely birthday. Mia was a lovely server

Josh was a very attentive and friendly server. The food was lovely. Really enjoyed the vegan flank steak! Would definitely come back again for that.

Came for Mother’s Day lunch and were well looked after by our server, Beth. Lovely food and company, with our mum even receiving a little bottle for Mother’s Day. Highly recommend A*

Fantastic service by Beth. Brilliant host

Had a lovely time at Gusto’s for mother’s day & Beth was a lovely waitress , thank u so much!!!
