Gustoso Ristorante & Enoteca in City of London, Westminster

Favourite restaurant for all the above reasons

Just wonderful. The food is amazing, perfect Italian restaurant one of the best of London

Very Good. Le personnel est très sympa et à l'écoute.

Delicious food, friendly service and a good wine list, in a cosy restaurant

Excellent as always. Lovely staff and superb food

Gustoso was a lovely place to eat and felt very authentic.

Great go to venue. Service and food always excellent.

Average “Italian” food, average desserts. Good service and clean facilities.

Nice restaurant and nice service. We found it in the fork and everything was good, they accepted our yums. To be honest I was expecting something different. I wouldn't say better, but just more traditional. The food was savoury, just some dishes were not traditionally Italian (for example the boar ragu was simply not ragù/bolognese sauce). The caprese was really good, while the warm panettone was not warm enough/the cram was too cold so it wasn't as pleasant as expected. But at the end of the meal what is important is that the experience was really positive and people working here really kind ++

One of my friends is blind and being able to have access to a disability toilet on same floor was brilliant. Food was good and we were not rushed.

Impeccable food and very good service 100% recommended

Truly lovely meal , lovely experience. Service attentive just when you wanted it.

Lovely atmosphere lively but cosy. Very, very tasty food.

Everything was excellent. Reminded us of local restaurants we ate at in Florence, Italy.

What a Fabulous Italian restaurant,totally authentic and very hospitable, highly recommended.

This place was soo nice. The staff are all so kind , and the food was great. I had a couple starters and for main I ordered spaghetti with crab and it was 10/10! Tiramisu for desert - highly recommend. The staff are so accommodating, they tell u all the recommendations and are clearly knowledgable on the menu. It’s such a chill vibe for a restaurant, proper rustic authentic Italian and such a rare find in London. If you’re looking for something low-key and not madly expensive and flashy like most london restaurants these days- COME HERE!

Fantastic and delicious gnocchi with blue cheese with spinach sauce made by a talented chef Tomasso! Make sure you ask to meet him - you can taste his passion for food in every delicious mouthful!

We went for a quick post matinee dinner when the restaurant was extremely quiet. After olives and bread nibbles, the main course calves liver portions were much smaller than shown in photos on review sites and were only just acceptable for a main course. There were too many onions (perhaps to hide the small liver portion) and the spinach that it came with was extremely salty but overall it was pleasant enough dish. You pay extra for veg and we had the mash and broccoli which were good accompaniments. For the sweet course we shared a special - Panettone and custard which was very nice - I had expected more of a bread and butter pudding affair but it was just a slice of warmed chocolate panettone with a small (again) portion of custard served on a dinner plate which felt odd presentation wise but was my favourite. Overall a perfectly good meal with quick service slightly spoiled by what I felt were small portion sizes.

A wonderful restaurant with exemplary and attentive staff. Food choices were varied and the portions/taste matched the quality of the welcome & service we received. This was not my first visit and I would definitely revisit.

Four of us had lunch at Gustoso’s today. We had the most delicious Chicken Milanese and salad which is so difficult to find in London. I hope they keep it on the menu as we will be back!

Good interesting menu. Lovely staff.

11 of us went to Gustoso’s for a lunch. We had Menu A which was £42 each (with service £47.25). I have to say that the food was POOR. The starter (mine was the Bruschetta) was terribly salty, the main (mine was the chicken) was also very salty & did not come with any vegetables. The Tiramisu was OK. The team that looked after us was attentive. Hence the two star grade otherwise it would have been just one star. I would also say the wines were expensive. The house Prosecco was £48.37 a bottle (with service).

We've been coming to this place for quite a few years now. It's always good. We generally visit when we've been on an art outing to the Tate Britain. Not for the first time, the lunch was better than the art, yesterday........... A starter of deep fried squid for me - I thought the squid was of the 'elastic bands; variety, but that was clearly only me, as the other three at the table really enjoyed them! Bruschetta was very flavourful; definitely 'quality rather than quantity' which is just as a starter should be. Pasta for one - ragu that was absolutely melt-in-the-mouth delicious; lasagne for another, which was 'perfect', it seems - and sea bass for the two of us; this was outstanding. I'm not too sure that the side order of fries had much truffle oil but they were nice. We'll be back - and we've cared less about the art, over the years, and more about what Gustoso has on the menu............

Je recommande très bon restaurant typique italien aux milieux des pub Anglais.amazing

Catching up with friends lovely pasta, dishes and specially, good my monkfish unbelievable!!! Thanks to Gianni, head chef Aurora end, Nicolino🤩

A great, cozy place, can't recommend enough. The food menu is outstanding, based on all the classics typically Italian dishes, staff is very attentive! Location: 5 min walk from Victoria station 🥳 Thank you all for the lovely evening we had

Very enjoyable meal and delightful service

its our local! very nice food ! BUT it's changed hands and it's so sad because the chef is good but the menu is not as diverse and interesting now PLUS it's lost its fun Dreary maitre de and the prices are Far more than they were for smaller portions and less thought ! Soo disappointing !!!! Another favourite place dimmed by lack of imagination and over charging !!!!!!!!!

Excelente comida, excelente servicio, excelente lugar!

Massively overpriced. £180 for 4 people eating a main and a starter with a bottle of wine is just crazy pricing. Food is nice but not spectacular. Service is fine and the atmosphere is fine. However none of it is worth the pricing which is just insane. I had a spinach and liver which was nice but not £20 nice. My Mother had 6 pieces of ravioli with beef and sauce which she thought was nice but not £20 nice. My nephew had spaghetti with crab which he said was nice but no pasta ever is £20 nice - it's food that was designed for poor peasants to eat. None of it was bad but then again none of it was worth the price it was set as. So all in all it was a tad disappointing because it was vastly overpriced!

First time eating here on a friend’s recommendation, it didn’t disappoint

Great restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. Food was fantastic and they also offer gluten free pasta. Lovely staff.

Real Italian taste Excellent service Very friendly staff Inventive plats du jour A meeting place for regulars who become a big friendly company Try the Tiramisu Heavenly taste

Good Italian food, well cooked and well served, I have been there numerous times

Michelin star quality from Tomasso. This week I had the special of breaded Mackerel fillet and started with the spaghetti with clams - they were both delicious and my guests were amazed that they could enjoy such quality at cosy neighbourhood restaurant.

Food is delicious and service is great

Had an amazing meal yesterday with family to celebrate my mother’s 93 birthday. Food and service excellent. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough,

Great food and convenient location. Recommended to us and did not disappoint.

After reading the reviews on TA I booked a table here for a set pre-theatre meal. Once sat down the maitre d gave us the drinks and an a la carte menu. We asked him for the pre theatre set menu but he just coldly pointed to the a la carte menu and said this is it. Confused, we asked what we could choose from the a la carte that was included in the set meal and he then pretended that he didn't understand much english and told us there wasnt a set menu, and then said sorry I haven't updated the website. Very crafty . . So just to be clear they don't cater for theatre goers despite the website saying they do. 🙄 We walked out and found a lovely restaraunt nearby.

I have been to Gustoso a few times previously and always had delicious meal. I went with a group of friends for the first time in a while and met the new chef Tomasso! His pasta was perfection and all the ingredients were fresh and high quality. The staff we kind and attentive as usual. I highly recommend Gustoso and look forward to my next visit!

Had a very nice dinner. Great service and nice ambience.

Food is of very good standard and restaurant has a warm, buzzy atmosphere when busy.

New chef, Tomasso who joined Gustoso from Michelin star restaurant is now providing the most incredible food in Westminster. Make sure you meet him and ask him to cook something special, you will not be disappointed. He is a creative genius!

Delicious good and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Unsure what has happened but the food is not at all what it once was. I asked for plain grilled sea bream which arrived in some sort of broth and no mash. My partner’s ravioli was rubbery and not fresh and the shared calamari and courgette starter was, frankly, sparse and poor. This was one of our favourite local restaurants but I’m sorry to say, no longer.

Lovely fresh Italian food with welcoming staff. We enjoyed the Arancino and the pasta dishes. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious and the service was excellent.

Fabulous Italian Restaurant for lunch or dinner.

Fabulous Italian Restaurant. Highly recommend for lunch or dinner.

The food and the staff continue to make this local adress one that never disappoints

Friendly neighbourhood restaurant in a quiet location, well-priced fixed menu and tasty carafe of house white. Service over-enthusiastic on topping up wine and water.

La comida estaba fría, restaurante muy caro para la calidad de la comida.

Greatly enjoyed this quiet restaurant, staff were great, food was enjoyable and at good prices, nice wine and cocktail selection. Highly recommend for a quiet and intimate evening.

Excellent dinner and great service. Very good Italian wine list.

Good food excellent service very pleasant atmosphere

The special gnocchi with truffle and sage butter was amazing, would definitely go again!

Fantastic service and exceptional food. This was our first fisit and we will certainly return. A little bit of Italy near Victoria!

Nice venue, OK food, quiet for a Saturday night, OK value

Great food and wine at a reasonable price in central London, backed up by friendly service

This is a small restaurant, where one would expect a better and personal service. The service was atrocious, the only excuse being that they are understaffed and yet. The lady who welcomed us looked quite unhappy and stressed, almost annoyed when we said we had a reservation. It took the staff 20 long minutes to take our orders, another 15minutes to bring water and then the drinks. Another 20minutes for the food. My pasta was 'molto Al dente', I would say uncooked, bathing with another type of overcooked pasta in a warmed up sauce. I'm feeling sick thinking of it. Other menus were bland (deceitful?) and looked very much like reaheated cold cuts. The food is bad. The wait was atrocious. And they bill 15gbp for the service! That restaurant was a waste of time and money that made me feel sick. I might feel sorry for the staff that looked overwhelmed.

Perfect for a relaxed and friendly evening with excellent food and attentive and friendly staff.

Good food, good wine choices and excellent entertainment watching the chefs do their thing, if that’s what you like. Bill Nighy was there last night too 👍

Lunch time a la carte - food was enjoyable and service was attentive without being intrusive. Wines by the bottle seem reasonably priced, of good quality, those checked by the glass. Being checked out for a larger party in a couple of weeks.

Fantastic food with great service. Only slight downside was it was very very empty apart from us but we were there at lunch. The aircon was also not working but a good enough breeze from outside. Great restaurant though

Amazing authentic food great service and the tiramisu is mind blowing.

Authentic Italian, fantastic flavours, hidden away off main road

Very authentic and genuine restaurant, especially loved the spaghetti vonghole

The best Italian Chef in London 🙏 a true gentleman and a maestro in the kitchen!

Our meal was lovely, the service was attentive but not overwhelming. None of the faux “how is your meal?) presumably a family business and it showed. Avoid the chains and tourist traps go for a restaurant like this.

We really enjoyed the authentic Italian food and the wine. The service was good, staff was friendly.

Simple, well cooked food, excellent service, and a good atmosphere.

A charming off the beaten track venue with delicious food and excellent service. A great venue to catch up and be able to chat in tranquil surroundings with solicitous service.

Lovely food The tuna starter was a delight Gorgeous pasta from the specials board Go here not the chains of bland Italian food

We came here for dinner while staying in Victoria for the Chelsea Flower Show. We were impressed both with the food and the service; we had the rosemary bread to start, which as another review points out is very thin and wafer-like, but there was plenty of it and it kept us going till the main course. I had liver and bacon with spinach aioli; the bacon was well cooked and crispy and the liver was fine. I had a glass of very pleasant rosé too. Then I had mango panda cotta with passion fruit sauce, which was quite small but very good. Recommended.

Food is really good, but you would figure a Italian restaurant would have cannolis!

Um surpresa agradável, pois encontramos o restaurante enquanto caminhávamos. Lugar especial, com um ambiente tranquilo e acolhedor. Atendimento sensacional. Comida incrível. Pratos super deliciosos e com um tempero e apresentação impecáveis. O chef e o dono (ou manager) são italianos e trazem ao lugar o verdadeiro espírito acolhedor do Sul da Itália (Napoli e Sardenha). Restaurante que precisa ser visitado. Super recomendo.

Um grata surpresa, pois achamos o restaurante enquanto caminhávamos. Lugar acolhedor, com um maravilhoso ambiente. Tranquilo. Atendimento fantástico é uma cozinha espetacular. Tudo incrivelmente saboroso, com o verdadeiro tempero e acolhida (calor) do sul da italiana. Lugar que precisa ser visitado em Londres.

Excellent food and service, surprisingly easy for a walk-in without a reservation, but in fairness was a sunny Wednesday evening around 6pm. Highly recommend the boar ragù and ribbon pappardelle, and the mango panna cotta with passionfruit drizzle. The fried courgettes and calamari strips were on point too.

Very friendly and polite service. The food was great and portions just the right size. I would definitely go back again!

Fantastic place if you want real n or Italian food at a good price

Nice traditional looking Italian restaurant near Victoria. Unfortunately the menu was not typical of a Trattoria, and extremely overpriced for dishes that were small and sadly lacking flavour. Service was good, perhaps a little pushy on topping up the wine!

Friendly & welcoming service - great authentic Italian food & wine. Relaxed & very enjoyable

Delicious Italian and lovely setting! Would highly recommend

Ristorante elegante. Per essere in ristorante italiano all'estero ha una ottima qualità. La pasta è ben cotta, il personale è italiano. Il filetto di pesce forse troppo saporito ed i fagiolini crudi per i miei gusti. Servizio veloce. Non è un ristorante economico ma sicuramente "gustoso."

Amazing little treasure of a restaurant. Food is delicious and always a very warm Italian welcome. Highly recommended 👌 ♥️

Great service. The food and wine (and the grappa!) were delicious.

I met two friends here for lunch and we all ended up thinking that the experience was mediocre at best! The baked aubergine parmigiana was burnt and didn’t appear to contain any cheese! The calves liver and crispy bacon was totally tasteless and the bacon was barely cooked - definitely not crispy! All the food was lukewarm. The staff weren’t that helpful or friendly. We were all of the opinion that we would not bother to visit this restaurant again. It was very pricey too - three people, two courses, wine, coffee, and a liqueur – £320! The restaurant is not user friendly either for people with disabilities as the toilets are down a steep flight of stairs. I didn’t see any lifts.

We booked this restaurant after reading the reviews on here. We had gone to see Hamilton and the restaurant was not far from the theatre. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was lovely and very reasonable. My husband had the lasagna and I had the special which was spaghetti with prawns. We just had bread with oil to share to start and shared a pudding. We couldn’t fault any of the courses, they were all lovely. The restrooms were very clean and well presented too. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

A nice place for a quiet and delicious dinner. Reasonably priced and great service.

A really nice restaurant! We went there twice during our trip to London. The Lasagne was perfect also for children. Very friendly service. Go there! 💕

Just looking at my pictures makes my mouth water all over again! After a busy day of rambling around the city we wanted Italian and wow did we get it! I had a few reservations as we trekked through the surrounding neighborhood which seemed to be devoid of any shops or restaurants. As we rounded a corner, there was Gustoso’s, light dancing from its windows and inviting us in and it was definitely worth the trip! The food was absolutely delicious, service was friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere was homey. And the price! Shockingly decent for such quality offerings. Definitely high on my list places to return to.

A real Italian restaurant - how will you know? They know the meaning of al dente!

Italian run authentic pasta, sympathetic service

직원분이 엄청 친절하고 Hi가 한국말로 뭔지 알려달라고해서 알려줬어요! 유쾌하고 정감있으신 분이었어요❤️ 재방문 가능!!

Food was perfect and service was brilliant. Would recommend the sea bass and the Aubergine Parama

Delicious food, very friendly staffs, love the special menu! Will come back here when I visit London!

Beautiful food and service. Highly recommended 👌

Fantastic service, food and ambiance. You will not leave hungry as the portions are very generous. I ate three courses and each was as delicious as the last. I’m surprised that it isn’t higher up on Tripadvisor but probably as the masses are yet to...

We had a great dinner there. Food is not just genuine Italian, it is Italian with a twist . I loved the fried zucchini and calamari, such a simple yet unusual combination and the artichokes and potatoes stew was delicious and once again a classic with a twist. Friendly stuff and relaxed atmosphere
