We have been dining here for many years, however, over the last couple of years, less so. The restaurant had become tired and dated. We went tonight for the first time in around 5 months and were very pleased. It seems that there has been a change in management. Attempts have been made to refurbish the restaurant and apparently these will be on going. The service was excellent, as was the food. Two constructive observations. The menu needs updating as it has been the same for some time and in my opinion it needs to be more varied. The second observation is I think it is a mistake not to allow tips being given when paying by card. We are rapidly heading towards a cashless society and the staff are missing out. We will definitely be returning soon!

I was a little disappointed with the food as the menu sounded great but sadly didn't really deliver on taste. My friend and I ordered pizza's and had half each as we couldn't decide. Both were lacking in topping but especially the Delizia Bianca , there was very little topping except a lot of pear which didn't even taste like pear, like the cheap hard ones you get at the cheaper supermarkets. Service was quite slow but it was quite busy. What really left a bad taste in our mouths was the fact that the waitress wasn't writing down our orders and then, when the bill came had charged us for far more drinks than we had ordered. When we explained the situation and went through exactly what we had all ordered she was surly and insisted she had brought all these drinks to our table. She honestly hadn't and eventually, after a LOT of explaining the other waitress agreed to only charge us for what we had had but it left us with quite poor experience overall. If you do go please just check your bill!

Lovely little Italian restaurant with fabulous authentic food. Not sure how I have lived in Southport for so long and not tried this place before. Great range of plant based versions of favourite Italian dishes along side a good range of the usual meat and fish based dishes. I had the plant based lasagne which was superb. One of our friends had what he described as the best Penne Arrabbiata he had ever eaten! We will be back 😊

Been coming here for last five years. Never had bad meal. Always have soup. Best homemade soup in any restaurant around here. Good selection of starters. Feel pasta dishes coul be a little more adventurous. Prices are most competitive in Southport. Very professional waitress Isabella breezes in-between tables keeping everyone happy. Any restaurant would be lucky to employ her. Looking forward to next five years

Really enjoyed a Sunday lunchtime visit to Gusto to celebrate a family birthday. The food was lovely, with a great menu with plenty of vegan and vegetarian choice: even the picky children cleared their plates. Our table was good, eight of us but tucked away so it felt private. Great customer service, we weren’t rushed and the music wasn’t too loud so we could actually talk! Will definitely return

Absolutely disgusted! Always come to Gusto. Been coming for last 9 years. Service is not always the best but food is lovely. Visited today for my mums birthday. 4 adults 1 child (3). Had 2 taste cards so ordered 4 main courses and a child’s plain pasta £4. Asked for the bill and had been charged for 3 main courses. Challenged this as had 2 taste cards. Was told by the not so friendly waitress that the manager ‘ George’ had told her to charge us for 3 meals and give the child’s PLAIN pasta which cost £4 for free!! Could not believe this. A taste card states 241 on mains and starters. What he had was not a main course. It wasn’t even a starter. The waitress laughed in our face as we challenged this and conveniently George had left the building! Shame to say after coming here for 9 years will not be coming back. If George does not want to offer 241 he shouldn’t be on taste-card. Be careful what you order and what your paying for!! .

We were lucky to find a table, as it was a Saturday evening. We had a lukewarm welcome from a man behind the bar. He came back to get our drinks, when we couldn't remember he walked our dismissing us. We gave our order to a young lady. My friend ordered lasagne and garlic bread, I had the octopus salad with roasted potatoes. The salad was divine, with crunchy veg. We both opted for the lemon sorbet, which was zingy and refreshing. We'd definitely go back

Extremely condescending staff with such poor attitude. Service was seriously bad, the manager was on his phone during the whole of the service. Food was good if you were prepared to wait an hour. Overall disgusting experience. Please dine elsewhere because the staff aren’t bothered whether you do or not.

The service was quick and welcoming. I had the cheese and mushroom pizza with added ham. My wife wanted risotto, preferably prawn risotto, but there was only ham and pea risotto on the menu. However the waitress said she would ask the chef if they could make a prawn risotto. The answer was the chef could. We were both pleased with our meals.

Not having been to Gusto for some years I can honestly say it will be a long time before I go again. Upon entering the venue I was completely ignored by the waitress who passed me on numerous occasions but eventually waved from behind the bar to the table by the owner. The food was acceptable but having the table booked for 7.30pm my daughter and I were made to feel uncomfortable with the lights being turned off at 9pm except for where we were sat.

Great food, terrible treatment from the OWNER of the restaurant. I took my sister for a dinner and there was a birthday party going on. The party was very loud and was bothering everyone else in the restaurant. I kindly asked the owner if he can go and ask them to lower their volume. He told me to go AND TELL THEM MYSELF and turned his back to me. How incredibly rude is that?! There were other customers covering their ears because the party was so loud. I can’t believe that the owner didn’t do anything about it. And he even had the audacity to have such a horrible attitude. If that’s how he treat his CLIENTS, I can’t even imagine how he treats his staff.

We were staying in Southport while attending the British Open. Thank heavens we found Gustos! It was the best food and dining experience that we had on our trip. We stayed in Southport for 5 nights and ate at this restaurant every night. It was amazing. The owner was on site and welcomed us every night. True Italian cuisine! Very reasonable prices. Fresh seafood prepared with incredible skill and beautiful presentation. As I write this I wish I were back there! Highly recommended.

Main meals were fabulous. Me and my wife had lasagne, absolutely superb and our friends had seafood dishes which they said were excellent too. We had a couple of drinks and also dessert. My panna cotte was lovely, as was the tiramaso. Lovely, friendly staff, and a great experience. We will return. Thanks.

We had booked a table for 6 and I went to the restaurant to see if we could eat outside and amend the booking. When I put my head inside the open door a lady (possibly the owner) said we are closed, I said I know she replied, good!! (Rude). She did manage to confirm the booking for later that evening and I left - considering whether I would return if that is the quality of service. Thankful I came back to see the contrast of two personable, friendly, easy going polish waitresses where nothing was any trouble (good for them). Once relaxed thanks to their welcome, the food came and was absolutely excellent the garlic bread, pasta, wine, everything. Worth a visit to this local business.

Being regulars at Gusto, we'd really missed it during lock-down. They've implicated better safety measures than any other restaurant we've visited. The tables are placed behind screens, with food being delivered through a small 'hatch'. A lot of thought and effort has clearly gone into it and we appreciated the owner's efforts. This meant we could relax and enjoy the food. It was the usual excellent quality. I'm a particular fan of their lovely mixed salad and home-made dressing. Pasta was perfect as usual. It was so good to be back.

I have eaten here several times and each time leave wishing I’d had a maccies. I never write bad reviews but Jesus wept it’s the worst service I’ve ever had and the food is mediocre at best.You’re better off at Villagio or Trattoria 51, both brill local Italians where the staff don’t act like primary school dinner ladies on the rampage. The only thing this place is good for is having a giggle at the managers responses to any other bad reviews on here..Last time I ate here I had penne arrabbiata with a side of regret. I was also lucky enough to be aggressively educated by George, who has the personality of a dial tone, on what an arrabbiata is. Side note for management, unless your Gina De Campo I don’t give a flying focaccia about what should and shouldn’t go in an arrabiata.

Visited Saturday evening with no reservation, waited 10 mins for a table, staff friendly so no problem at all. Menu very much pasta/pizza, we both chose steak from specials board. Lovely meal, not the best cut of steak but very enjoyable, and presented beautifully. Lovely cosy restaurant that I’d love to visit again.

My wife and I called in early on a Thursday evening and received a warm welcome and shown to a table.The restaurant was busy and soon filled up.My wife had a pizza and I had meatballs on pasta. Both dishes were very nice,Very pleasant evening and would certainly visit again when next in Southport.

We arrived and had to wait for around half an hour, however I had the prawn and asparagus risotto and it was sensational. The service was friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We were staying at the Prince of Wales hotel, which is just over the road, and fancied a meal out. I am very glad we chose Gusto. The restaurant is small, but very friendly. The focus looks to be on fish with a number of tasty looking specials. I had the pate to start and my partner had the asparagus, both were delicious. Gluten free pasta is available and the waiting staff took food allergies seriously. I enjoyed a spicy pizza and my partner had a seafood risotto that was on special. We enjoyed a gateau and tiramisu for pudding - the latter was delicious. The restaurant was well priced and had a good atmosphere. I understand the restaurant has developed a loyal following and we look forward to our return visit.

Never have we been spoken too by an owner of a restaurant like this man spoke to us because we dared to have a conversation with him regarding our bill when we were sat at our table. From this he followed us to the bar area so we could pay whatever we could agree too. The owner screwed up the bill threw it over his shoulder and squared up to my partner and repeatedly told my partner to F***k off. We were all shocked by this. The waiter had to come round from behind the bar and move the owner away from my partner whilst talking him down. We all left and the waiter came outside to see us. What started as a family meal with my daughter and her boyfriend was ruined by this man’s lack of professionalism and aggressive manner. On a positive note the rest of the staff were amazing, polite and attentive.

Shut & doesn’t look like the pictures so no idea what it’s like. Suggest you drive by before deciding as I cannot say it’s still in business

Needs more staff. You have to wait to be served as the barmaid is also the waitress.
