Gusto Italian in Stockport

The waiter Francesca was lovely and we were very welcomed by her. Lovely food, enjoyed it a lot.

Food was lovely and service, Francesca is very friendly bless her. Thank you all at Gusto I will definitely come again

Updated menu appeared a little rich (expensive) £38 for an inexpensive bottle of wine or £35 for a steak excluding veg, with more economical menu items 'sold out'. To be fair the food was good and service adequate.

We’ve been coming here for years and the service and food is always outstanding and consistent, whether it’s for lunch or dinner. Ciara and Muzi are fantastic and couldn’t recommend this place more.

The best italian restaurant in Stockport. Special thanks to Charlie who made the night for us.

Ciara was amazing!! Great service

Charlie was great, really made our birthday meal out extra special

Just wanted to leave a review to say thank you very much for helping with me and my family move tables to help with noise for our son. Very kind and helpful x

Another delicious meal, fabulous service, staff always helpful, attentive and welcoming. Never disappoints 100% recommend !

Charlie was fantastic and the food was great. Very attentive and helpful, thank you!

Fabulous evening at Gusto. Great food and the service was top notch. Charlie was attentive and friendly. Highly recommended thanks for a great evening! We’ll be back!

Good, imaginative Italian food. Friendly, helpful staff.

We dined at Gusto for my partners birthday. The food was excellent and Charlie was a fabulous waitress. The staff even sang happy birthday to my partner 😁 Thanks for a great night!

Always fab food, and great atmosphere. We have got a platinum card now as we visit so often. There are great savings for £65 a year well worth it.

Friendly and professional staff. The food was really tasty and nicely presented.

On going through the entrance door, we entered an atmosphere full of delight and fun being portrayed by the staff. There is a wide choice of menu and our party of 5 all enjoyed their dishes. We joined the loyalty membership scheme to benefit from the savings on the meal costs A wonderful ezperience and we can't wait to go again.

Had another lovely meal here a couple of weeks ago. Generally the food is very good, although I’ve found that occasionally the tuna steak has sold out - probably because it’s absolutely excellent. As a substitute the sea bass is amazing, but 2 of our party had the salmon and it wasn’t great - a small piece accompanied by a lot of undercooked and bland couscous. Otherwise v good. The service was excellent. Francesca was brilliant, as she always is. Very attentive, professional and great with the kids as well as the adults. Atmosphere is always good as the place is always busy. Going again tomorrow…!

Excellent food, lovely calm yet bustling atmosphere, and our server, Sean, was very professional and very friendly. 5 stars all round, will definitely be coming back in the near future!

Booked a table for my partners birthday on Monday 30th Sept evening. Expected to receive great food, drinks and service. What a let down! We arrived and were seated at our table promptly and pleasantly. There were a few other tables occupied but not overly busy. Looked through menu and was then advised that several things weren't available on the menu. Main course, salmon is no longer offered and instead replaced by Tuna - this was disappointing but knew other options were available. However, we were advised that something off the special Puglia menu wasn't available, off the main menu the chicken breast and the lasagne options weren't available either. Very disappointing. Chose dough petals for starter and my partner chose the bruschetta. The dough petals arrived and were burnt which meant the flavour was tainted. For main, decided to opt for the cod and my partner chose the fillet steak with peppercorn sauce. His steak arrived with the sauce in a small jug placed on the table for him to use himself. My cod arrived with a small jug of sauce that was poured all round my plate and over the cod without being asked. The cod was tasteless and it made the potatoes very salty so I ended up leaving it. Surely it's courtesy to be asked if you want the accompanying sauce pouring or not? Usually during the main course someone will come and check if the meal is ok, but no-one did even though it wasn't busy at all. I'd had enough at this point in the evening and so I didn't bother with dessert. My partner had the brownie and was then disappointed with the small sliver of a piece he received. Truly disappointed with the entire meal and experience. We've been to this restaurant several times before on a weekend and always had great service, atmosphere, amazing food and drink. But this occasion was terrible. It was a Monday, not a weekend, so we didn't expect unavailable items on the menu. It seems either a delivery hadn't arrived or hadn't been planned after the weekend. It was supposed to be a memorable celebration, but after the menu options and service let us down we just wanted to finish our meal and leave. The occasion was memorable for very different reasons. At the end of the evening we walked out and unlikely to return after a disappointing evening. Will not be recommending to our friends and family.

For a party of 11 the service was good.

An excellent evening out. Good food and attentive service from Charlie. Thank you.

love the design of this place it’s so pretty and the food is gorgeous we had the best time celebrating a birthday

Last night, we had a lovely meal for my husband‘s birthday at gusto. We always love our food here. Pizzas are fabulous, but I am leaving a review for the first time Because I feel for a Wednesday night the restaurant had great atmosphere but I would mainly like to comment On our lovely waiter. His name was Sean He was so gentle and polite with the children and just seemed to totally read our family in the way he spoke and joked with us. He was great and made a whole meal experience once to remember.

Visited for my birthday dinner with family. We all loved it. Francesca was looking after us really well and the food was fantastic. Really recommend it.

A very pleasant meal for our wedding anniversary and a special mention for our server Sean who was excellent

Banging chateaubriands! Could’ve given more than a thimble of peppercorn sauce tho, aside from that no faults!

charlie was incredible - service was amazing the food was delicious

Charlie was a brilliant server and we had a wonderful evening

LOVE it here. we come all the time as we live locally and the food is always so good!!! i’d reccomend the steaks and pastas, but it’s so nice to come and try different things🤩🍝 charlie is a great waitress, super friendly and attentive, 10/10 experiences here

Another great experience at Gusto. Same friendly professional service and excellent food. Aleays our ‘go to place’ for family meals.

I think the food here is absolutely delicious. I've never had a bad or even average meal We were the only people in as went very early. So that's why I didn't give 5 stars for atmosphere.

A fantastic restaurant with amazing service. Our waitress was outstanding 👏

We had the sharing tiramisu today which was a real treat and fun experience!

I belong to Gusto Gold club & went for a delicious meal last night (wednesday) & got 50% off our meal. Highly recommend joining gold club. Discount only available monday to thursday. Lovely varied menu & great staff. I went again 23rd August. Lovely staff and delicious food but prices have increased a lot since i last went.

Pre booked and welcomed and shown to table. Drinks order then menu selection: starters and mains were excellent. Birthday drinks on the Resturant (much appreciated). Very pleasant and helpful waitress. Nice evening

I’d like to commend Sean for his exceptional service. We come here frequently to eat, and it’s the favourite restaurant of both the kids and my friend. All the staff are very friendly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

We popped in for a family catch-up and oh my goodness, we had the best time. The food, as always, was delicious, but it was our waitress who really made the evening sparkle (I won'tput her full name, but jave emailed Gusto to let them know). Also, if you are going in soon I can highly recommend the tiramisu for 2, which is new on the menu. It is constructed at your table so is a fun and delicious way to end the meal. Thank you for making the visit awesome N.

Food was good. The service was excellent. The ambiance was good too.

Always good service in Cheadle Hulme. Francesca our waitress yesterday was excellent

Amazing food, fantastic service, thank u Charlie;)

Our server Charlie was exceptional, she made our night….

Food and service is excellent as always. Francesca and Laura are a credit to the restaurant. My only wish is that they’d put the outside panelling back!

Francesca was amazing, very friendly and huge asset to Gusto

Such a wonderful spontaneous night out, Our server Mac was wonderful, the food was delightful and the sneaky crème brûlée to finish was a delight. Highly recommend for couples Or friends to visit 😍

There was a slight mistake when ordering through deliveroo, but Gusto apologised and a kind lady came and personally delivered the missing item along with a free pudding. Not only that but the food was delicious. Thank you!

The food has gone down in quality so much from where is was last year. A shame as the venue is lovely and the staff very nice albeit the service was very very slow. Drinks took half an hour for example. Not enough staff to cover the bookings as opposed to the staff being at fault.

Would just like to thank this restaurant for their friendliness and hospitality after our waggon broke down outside their venue,very much appreciated on this very hot day thank you so much

For a Tuesday night it was pretty busy, which created a nice atmosphere and didn't impact on service, which was excellent. Food was great as always, had starters and mains with sides, which for the quality was reasonably priced.

Cheadle Hulme, Monday, 22/07, 6pm - Whilst food and service were good as always, most disappointing to find numerous main menu items were off because they had a “busy weekend” That’s no way to run a business and they let us down, taking friends there for their first time

Tuesday night. not too busy but a nice level, scrumptious food as always. Antipasti sharing board., , classic burger, Rigatoni Arrabbiata with chicken. Honey & Balsamic Glazed Duck Breast with a side of carbonara.(found out from the waitress i can indulge my tubby side and get a small pasta side along with my main duck) yummy., Friendly and quick service, . amazing.,! Platinum club get 40% off the food,, what cant you like.,

Francesca was our very friendly server for the evening and she recommended a lovely cocktail :) Thank you!!!

Celebrating daughter’s birthday and were served by Francesca who is the best!!!!

Scrumptious food and friendly staff. It was a bundle of magnificence to have the opportunity to eat in this refined establishment!

Annoyed because they would not accept photo of passport on phone as proof of age ( grandson had forgotten his proof of age card). It necessitated me driving him home to get his card so that he could have a drink with his meal. Bureaucracy gone mad as it showed a clear photograph of him and his date of birth. Due to living locally we were able to retrieve his card. Could have spoiled the evening if we had lived further away.

Fabulous restaurant, a lovely place to eat, the food was excellent, service was excellent and the atmosphere was very good

Brilliant meal and excellent service.

Went to the bottomless brunch on a Saturday. Food was lovely and fresh. I expected an individual portion of dough petals however these are to share, and main was nice. Atmosphere was abit more quiet compared to other brunches I have done but for a bottomless this is the best food/drinks mix I have had to date!

We choose a variety of starters to share which were delicious! Service was superb, thank you Sean. Very enjoyable evening. Lovely bottle of Sauvignon Blanc wine too.

It was great from start to finish. Really enjoyed the meal and experience

Always a great experience. We visited most recently for father's day when it was a little busier than normal. The standards were just as high for the food and service.

Food is decent and a good selection of drinks available.

We were brought here by a friend, and liked the place straightaway. The food was tasty and well presented and the atmosphere was buzzy. Best of all, though, was being served by the delightful Niamh, who was courteous and friendly and efficient, and with whom we shared our love of cats! How wonderful to be waited on by someone who really cares about giving customers a happy experience!

Eaten here several times. Always great food, and fantastic service. We didn't reserve, and OK, it was a Wednesday night (a pretty shocking one, weather wise, I might add) but they had a table for us. Most notable dish (though they were all fantastic) has to be the lemon & pepper calamari. Simply gorgeous.

Very ,quiet but was lovely and peaceful for catching up with a friend. Didn't appreciate the added service charge. Otherwise excellent.

Very enjoyable meal which was added to by a very friendly and chatty waitress

Excellent lunch for my birthday with family. Staff warm, friendly and efficient. Food really good.

Slightly unfair of me here ,I was there working but as I've worked and eaten in lots of Gusto's I'm ideally suited for a review ,the food is always fantastic and across the board the food is always fantastic I just love the pizzas here I'd be skint if I lived nearer ,best to book and get the table you want with summer round the corner try outside for a bit of posh brunching costing £10-20 PP plus tips and drinks I'd say £40 is a good night out in any Gusto xx

Went in for lunch with my mum, a gorgeous place with a lovely atmosphere and our waitress was fantastic! Unfortunately the food was well below average, especially for the price.. we had pizzas which were bland and dry. We also overhead a table of 4 next to us comment the same thing... Underwhelming and expensive. Won't visit again due to the food which is a shame as a lovely place and staff were lovely...

Great food, great atmosphere and great staff

Love the food & service, Manager Laura is always sooo welcoming.

Lovely food and lively atmosphere

Excellent food and service only down side was the loud customers who seemed to have been out all afternoon. Not the fault of Gusto's but a quiet word would not have gone amiss.

We had a lovely dining experience on a Sunday afternoon. There was 7 of us who had pizza, burgers and roast dinner. The ambience was just right and excellent service by Sean. We food was delicious and the selection of drinks was just right. We will definitely be back

Very disappointed in the service at lunch. Spent almost 3 hours in there! Was waiting almost 20 minutes after each course for the table to be cleared. Very poor especially when it’s very quiet with only 3 tables. The food was very mediocre, the carbonara was lacking flavour! Extremely bland. Not impressed!

Excellent, food and service thank-you!

Had to wait 50 minutes for a pre booked table. Luckily the food was amazing as always which keeps us coming back

Had a lovely meal at Gusto Cheadle Hulme. Food lovely and quite busy so a nice atmosphere.

Great experience here, lovely good, really good service and nice atmosphere. Eaten here many many times over the past 3 years and enjoyed it every time.

We booked Guato for a family gathering for a party of 30. The staff looked after us very well, even holding back a meal for a late arrival. The food was delicious, hot and tasty. Some of the group had the sharing Sunday roast, which they really enjoyed. I had the crab fettuccine, which was very nice but felt there could have been a bit more generous with the crab. On the whole our group had a lovely time with hot food and a great service. The tiramasu is to die for.

Always busy but still great service and food

Service was quick and friendly. Food was excellent and the restaurant was light and spacious.

We discovered that the Google rating for the restaurant was favorable, so we decided to give it a try on Monday night. Being unfamiliar with the area, I was pleasantly surprised to see a steady stream of customers on a Monday night. The ambiance was delightful, and the food exceeded our expectations, particularly the steak and spaghetti. Impressed by our initial experience, we returned later that week with a group of 10 friends. The staff was incredibly attentive and helpful, and our friends thoroughly enjoyed the food as well.

Fabulous service, we were served by Chanel - we walked in with no reservation and she went out of her way to make us feel super welcome. Would highly recommend! Food was great and atmosphere too

had a lovely meal. and the truffle fries are delicious 😋

My friends and I visited last week and had a lovely meal. The special offer gave us a great saving on the cost of the meal. However, we found the cost of the wine choice a little expensive.

Lovely meal. Great atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful waitress.

This was the 2nd time we had visited gusto in the last 12 mths. As per the 1st visit,everything was amazing, the food,service and atmosphere. Definitely been my favourite meal out this year

Food was nice, service was also nice however not impressed with all the additional charges that are automatically added without asking i.e Service Charge and Charity charge. Puts you in an awkward position asking to remove charges in front of others.

Bone dry pizza with cubed chicken more like dried bread on top. Then took forever to get the bill. Plenty better options around, will not revisit. I need a pint of water as I feel like I've eaten a pack of Jacobs crackers. Disappointing.

Gusto Italian isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by the warm ambiance and friendly staff who make you feel like a welcomed guest in their Italian home. The service is impeccable, attentive without being overbearing, and always delivered with a genuine smile.

Very tasty food, great service, we will definitely come again.❤

Disappointed with the food. Looking forward to the chilli prawn linguine but no longer on the menu. Had crab fettuccine but very bland and tasteless.

Service was good when we had it, but very hard to get hold of

This restaurant is amazing, from the food to the staff. I love the fact that they take care of you and are coming to check on you to make sure that you are happy with everything 🥰🥰

The food was poor pizzas soggy and bland very doughy . Way overpriced. Even with half price offer ☹️. Wine very expensive. Pasta poor also

Fabulous food, drinks, atmosphere and service. Highly recommended!

Worth every penny, 9th December, me and my girl friend had a lovely meal, we found the staff to be very attentive particularly Francesca who was lovely very bubbly as me and my girl friend had some bad meals recently at other places so brownie points for me, because it did not go unnoticed by girl friend who has impeccable manners, so thanks for that. I returned on the Saturday 16th dec with my daughter to pick up some vouchers and Francesca remembered me which was nice .

I’ve written many excellent reviews for this place but yesterday was a little underwhelming. If almost raw cabbage and tepid custard are the latest culinary fads can we all move on quickly because nobody likes it!! However these are small considerations compared to stealth tactics to squeeze my wallet. Offered the lunch menu special menu at £30.00 for three courses we chose from there (it was 4:45pm) When the bill arrived we were charged £35. Apparently it’s £35 in the evening, so please don’t offer us something that’s no longer available. Then on top of that there is the service charge. Nobody says it but I’m going to, the diner should choose when to tip and by how much without the confrontation of asking for it to be removed if the service or food is below our expectations. Better yet Gusto, give your staff a pay rise! Despite my little rant, I really like this place and will no doubt be back.

We went there as a big group, we were very squished together and when we tried to order sharing plates the manager said sorry we are faired to run out of food , the portion was very small according to the price

Fabulous food and service. Would be better if management didn’t snaffle up some of the tip!! It should all go to front of house staff 😘
