Gusto Italian, Oxford in Oxford

Jesus was a very good waitor. He helped us with the menu choices and options we can have with the food. He was very friendly and helpful

Second time here and never disappoints.

It is located in the main street, and the atmosphere is great. Service was okay, and food was just okay.

It was a wonderful experience, I hope you guys are as lucky as I was and have Mihai to assist you!

Omg, the food was absolutely awful. We had the Carbonara and Ragu. The Ragu sauce was so awful my husband struggled to eat it. Not sure where all the positive reviews for this restaurant have come from. We eat out a lot and also cook quality food at home, so do know bad dishes when they are served to us. £70 for food, wine and service charge of this standard was not a favourable experience at all. Chef, please taste your dishes before serving to customers!

I eat pizza very very good chef rafik and chef Naresh

Visited Oxford for a day from London, here we ordered pizza Carnivoro served by Prasana awesome yang man, also head a Manebra pint and got other one cos it was very nice, if you like pizza with lots of meat toppings on it then this is the place, ask for it to be a bit more crispy

We had booked into Gusto to celebrate two of our great friends’ Birthdays so we were hoping for something a little special, and we were not disappointed. The greeting on entry was welcoming and our table was well prevented with plenty of space. Our server, Sami, was friendly, helpful and professional and contributed greatly to the nice atmosphere; thank you Sami! The menu has a good range of Italian dishes, and favourites for me are the dough petals and the Prawn risotto, although if you like Italian food, it’s all great! When the food arrived it was cooked to perfection and nicely presented and very tasty. Service is efficient, professional and friendly and does not feel pressurised. The decor following the refurbishment is fitting for the venue and very comfortable. The toilets are modern, well maintained and immaculately clean. Recommended.

Very good food. Very helpfull staff

Food was very tasty and great service

No bread to start, or it cost you 8 pounds. Food taste good but servings are extremely small. Do not recommend the Calamari as starter, is it all just crust.

Lovely venue and delicious food. Enjoyed the experience.

Pizzas seem to be of great size so you are able to share if you are not famished. Ingredients are not that amazing, although they boast a lot about these. Overall, its okay but not an experience that I would repeat. Amazing service though and wonderful atmosphere.

Food really good and staff helpful and friendly

Jesus was an amazing server very attentive and kind!

Worst food I’ve ever had, I can’t understand how this restaurant get 4.6 star!? Staff is not professional they are very rude, foods are very dry and unsalty. 0 taste 0 service.

I was served by Jesus on a busy Saturday lunchtime, but he made the experience really smooth and calming. I had a lovely lunch with prompt and friendly service. I will definitely eat here again!

We had lunch today and Jesus attended to us. Everything amazing

Excellent location with great choice of food. I particularly love the Vegan Steak!

The red wine was served to warm. Should be no more then 18 gr Celsius. Oure wine was above 20 gr. Celsius. The pasta was top sticky and too dry.

Great service from Jesus, and great food :)

Jesus was fantastic. Extremely attentive and very helpful in every way.

Fresh food with a wide range to choose from the menu

Edible. Overpriced and doesn’t taste the best. Service was nonexistent at best

Very good service, thanks to Jesus who took care of us very well.

2 amazing dinners this Wednesday and thursday! Delightful

Lovely food as always and very friendly service from Jesus

I had a great dinner at Gusto, Jesus was really helpful, he recommended a dessert for us and it was spot on, best service ever! We will come back for sure.

Our food was excellent, Jesús was a lovely server to us, very oblinging!

Very friendly staff, great food & service - highly recommend!

Had a great experience here today, Jesus served us today and his service was brilliant. Couldn’t have been friendly or more attentive

Thanks to such a delicious food we had here! And thanks to our waiter Jesús

Top restaurant, will visit again

Waiter Prasana was friendly and helpful plus good food made our evening pleasant.

When booking a trip to Oxford for our five year anniversary we were looking for a quality restaurant that would have plenty of vegan options. Opening the menu, I was delighted to see the number of clearly marked vegan options which made me feel at ease not having to request special accommodations from our server. When our server Mihai arrived, he set an upbeat tone to the evening and was very helpful with menu item selection. The drinks were creative and refreshing, the vegan steak was outstanding, and Mihai suggested modifying the Tear and Share dessert to be vegan- which was top notch. Next time we are in the UK visiting our friends from London we will definitely come back again.

Very good service with Mikai, highly recommend!

A lovely atmosphere, even though it's a really big restaurant, it feels smaller with many rooms and alcoves. Helpful staff (thanks especially to Andrea!). Dough petals were a novelty, maybe not worth repeating. Beef risotto was lovely, sea bass was great, and chicken romesco salad was excellent!

Professional, friendly staff. Food excellent 👍

Thank you Jesus for this amazing experience. The food was amazing and the service was out of this world.

Came here for a bank holiday bottomless brunch and Mihai was amazing! So attentive and made sure our glasses were never empty, will definitely be back!

great food & service. would come back again!!

Nice pasta lunch with good service from Jesus

Jesús served us exceptionally, the food was very delicious, although the quality/price ratio seemed a bit expensive to me.

Good food, the service is outstanding. Thank you Jesus

We had a lovely dinner here and I definitely recommend as the service and food was excellent. Our waiter Jesus was brilliant!

Jesus was our waiter and he provided us with a great service.

Fabulous food and fabulous service. I definitely recommend ☺️

Great service and great food thank you Jesus

Excellent meal - proper Carbonara (NOT a creamy sauce) and great, thin crust Neopolitan style pizza.

Excellent service excellent food

Super friendly staff and our server Jesu’s was very attentive to details and has good recommendations. The food was lovely and good portions. Would recommend to my friends if you’re looking for a nice ambience.

Our server Jesus was very helpful and the meal was delicious.

Food was lovely, Jesus looked after us brilliantly, service was great.

Yiannis and Josh were THE BEST. The best food around in Oxford and the best service to match! Will always be back!

Great Italian restaurant in Oxford, and Jesús is an amazing waiter. We will be back!

The food was absolutely delicious and our server Mihai was lovely!

Great food and service from mihai

Our server, Mihai, was absolutely brilliant, made our dinner very pleasant. Perfect!

Wonderful Italian! Great design, flavors and presentation. Cheers to Alexandra for her careful and professional service!

An excellent lunch venue. Our waitress Tash was very friendly and helpful, thank you

Thank you for everything Jesus. You are the best waiter !!!

Had a really good dinner tonight. I didn't have a reservation and they still found room for me. Very nice staff and it was a good price point

Excelent service, fantastic atmosphere and helpfull and kind waiters. I recommend it

Food was delicious. However pizza wasnt cut into pieces. The knife was dull. We tried to cut and couldn’t. Then we asked the waitress to bring it to us cut. She refused.

Delicious food and great service!

Very nice meal made even better by our lovely waiting member of staff, Tash, who was attentive and helpful throughout our meal.

Food is just Ok, and they force you to pay 12.5% tips

Great food and great service from Andrea.

We arrived withoit a reservation on a thursday night. The starters were nice and for the main dishes we took pasta and lasgania they were amazing! Service was very good and fasy, the waiters were very kind and happy to help

The service was absolutely class. Tash was very friendly, efficient and energetic. Overall the service from the staff was wonderful.

Tash and Josh were both amazing hosts for our anniversary dinner!!

Very nice food with lovely service during Easter ( esp. thanks to Jésus).

Amazing service from Jesus, both the truffle mushroom pasta and ragu pasta were brilliant!

Excellent service from Jesus and lovely food!

The meal and service is really good, I really enjoyed the meal.

Our second visit in three days says it all! Excellent!

Jesús was a brilliant server. Friendly, efficient and all around a nice guy. Will be comming again.!

We had the carbonara it was very dry the spaghetti was very thick and no taste Overpriced and the service charge was not worth it

My niece finds busy environments overstimulating and we had forgotten her noise cancelling headphones, but she had her heart set for a pasta from the menu. Our lovely host Prasana was amazing, he offered us a table in a much quieter area to accommodate her sensory sensitivity, which made our experience so much more enjoyable! An excellent example of being understanding and inclusive! The food was also delicious and overall service efficient. Would definitely return!

Jesús is a legend! Fantastic food, we will be back again!

Amazing food, and amazing service. Thank you Jesús!

Jesús was lovely for us, made us all feel very comfortable and had a lovely time

Jesus was a great waiter, made our experience very special

Very good place, quite affordable, thanks to Sami for her service!

Gusto’s food was delicious, especially with the plant-based dishes offered. The Garlic Dough Petals in particular were delicious. My waiter, Mihai, was polite and his upbeat demeanour was appreciated. I hope to eat at Gusto again if I get the chance to visit Oxford.

The main waitress was great however the lady who brought the mains had an attitude, our starter plates hadn't been cleared and she expected us to juggle the plates, when someone else cleared the plates she pulled a face......its a shame as the food was good and main service good.

great food, lovely staff. Jesús was very attentive and friendly.

Great food, Good service by Sami.

La calidad de la comida era buena , tuvimos un camarero amable y el ambiente era lo suficientemente agradable . Sin embargo, la comida y bebida era muy mala relación calidad-precio. El vino por copa costó bastante más de £ 10 y la pasta con cangrejo alrededor de £ 18 , una hamburguesa cercana a las £ 16 . Un pequeño trozo de pan de focaccia con aceite de oliva de más de £ 4. Ellos sabían bien, pero eran muy caros. A precios razonables volvería aquí pero no a los niveles de precios actuales. Soy un comensal habitual en Oxford y hay opciones mucho mejor relación calidad-precio a pocos metros de Gustos

Jesus was very helpful and answered all queries we had. Also was very good with allergies. Food was very tasty, and fabulous to see an option for the Carbonara.

Jesus was amazing and had a great explanation for all of our questions!

Beautiful atmosphere, lovely service and delicious food!

Great service! Food was very good in a warm atmosphere!

Great service by Tash. Excellent staff and amazing food!

Andrea looked after us and was fabulous

Great place. Friendly, attentive staff, tasty food.

Vegan dishes were lovely - would be great to see some more vegan dishes on the menu though, particularly starters, pastas and desserts!

Service is really not good, I can’t believe there’s only one scallop in their most expensive main dish.

The food and service — stellar. Mihai was attentive, knowledgeable, kind, joyous, and made delicious recommendations. The atmosphere would have been stellar, too, if the music wasn’t up so loud and if the host hadn’t been such a stick in the mud.

Lovely. Glad we stopped in. Great service from Andrea x
