  “Great place for really good food. Fresh ingredients like Burrata cheese. Pastas are top level, the Ragu sauce is spectacular. Somedays they have promotions for wine bottles, ask before. Service is friendly and gave you proper recommendations according to what you want.”

  “Really incredible staff, really amazing atmosphere. A beautiful place to have a meal. The pizza and flatbread are amazing. Chicken is especially good here. Highly recommend the chicken Caesar salad. I can’t see enough out the light kind of the staff all are, tops”

  “Lovely restaurant. Had a good experience here. The food was lovely, especially our starter. Our waitress was lovely and very helpful. Atmosphere was nice (it helps being in the heart of Oxford!). Only downside was the manager/supervisor who sat us. She came across quite stand offish, but that's probably because it was a hella busy! So I don't blame her. Good experience!”

  “I popped into Gusto during a day trip to Oxford, as Italian is always my go-to cuisine. I was greeted swiftly and in a friendly manner by a gentleman who I suspect to have been one of the senior waiters or a supervisor. He showed me to a nice corner-window seat which was very comfortable and a decent temperature. I ordered the truffled mushroom arancini, which was absolutely delicious (particularly the sauce), and the linguine carbonara. The carbonara was also great, but my only little comment was that the pancetta needed to be a bit crispier. The food came in good time and was a good temperature. My waiter Louis was outstanding - warm, friendly and professionally chatty. If I were to return again, it would certainly be my hope to have him wait on me! A credit to the restaurant - if the management see this, please pass along my thanks for a great dining experience.”

  “We visited Gusto Italian restaurant on Friday evening. The ambience and decorations of the restaurant are nice and cosy. We have tried Calabrian pepperoni pizza, chicken cacciato, Ragu Mafaldine (slow-cooked beef) & rocket salad. The dishes are well presented. The food quality is good. Staff are friendly, helpful and attentive, in particular Louis who provides excellent service.”

  “Ended up in Gusto on a random Saturday afternoon after spending the morning at the Natural History Museum. No issues in getting a table - and more importantly, all staff were fantastic and genuinely provided a welcoming environment. Food was EPIC - plenty of choice, and a really good kids menu! Incidentally, it happened to be my birthday on the day of our visit - and with no promoting whatsoever, staff brought out an amazing dessert for me! Cannot recommend highly enough, will definitely be visiting again!”

  “We really loved our waiter, she was incredible, remembering our orders with only her head. The seafood rice has a lot of flavor and the Carbonara was also very filling. Would come again”

  “Amazing food and service. Had the calamari starter which was so juicy and tender. We ordered the crab linguine and seabsss which was very tasty too. Andrea the waitress was so friendly never too much trouble to ask for help.”
