Gusto 101

Had heard a lot about Gusto 101 and finally made it there for lunch to try their Winterlicious menu, mainly because of their famous Mafalde ai Funghi—and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We started with Misticanza and Arancini. The arancini was delicious—crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. For mains, it had to be the Mafalde ai Funghi and a Margherita pizza. The Mafalde ai Funghi was oh my god, completely out of this world—hands down the best pasta I’ve ever had. The pizza was also really good, with a perfectly thin crust that didn’t feel heavy at all. We paired everything with a glass of house wine, which complemented the meal beautifully. For dessert, we tried the Tiramisù, which was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet, while the cannoli was just okay in comparison. Overall, it was a very good experience—generous portions, warm and smiling staff, and a cozy, romantic setting made even better by the weather outside. Definitely a place I’d go back to again

Ordered the Mafalde ai Funghi and the Tagliatelle al Ragu di Manzo. Both were very tasteful, rich, and cooked perfectly. That said, $28 for pasta is a bit bold for the portion size. Delicious yes. Generous no. Ambience is great though, especially on the rooftop. Overall a good spot, just be ready for downtown pricing.

Gusto 101 absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered the mushroom pizza that everyone raves about, and it did not disappoint—rich, creamy, and packed with incredible flavour. The handmade pasta was cooked to perfection, clearly fresh and done right. We also had bread and additional pizza for the table, both of which were fantastic and perfect for sharing. The calamari was delicious—light, well-seasoned, and not greasy at all. For mains, we ordered the veal Parmesan, and it was massive—in the best way. Flattened exactly the way it should be, perfectly cooked, and so good I ate it right down to the bone and finished the entire plate. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and our server was attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. Overall, an outstanding meal from start to finish. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Had a really good experience at Gusto 101. The food was the highlight — full of flavor, generous portions, and beautifully plated. You can tell they prioritize quality ingredients and preparation. We ordered the arancini, mafalde al funghi, calamarata con gamberi, and the margherita pizza — everything was delicious and well executed. The only drawback was that the seating felt a bit tight and close together, which made it slightly less comfortable, especially during busy times. Aside from that, it’s a great spot with excellent food, and I’d definitely recommend it.

I really liked eating at this restaurant. The food was very good. They have a winter deal where you get an appetizer, a main dish, and a dessert , for a price of 35 . I got arancini for my appetizer, a burger for my main dish, and tiramisu for dessert. The burger was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. I liked that it was not smashed and was cooked just the way I like it. My friends got pizza and pasta, and they liked their food too. Our server was very kind and attentive. He kept refilling our water and made sure we were doing well throughout the meal.

It was a decent experience dining at Gusto 101. We were walking downtown with my family and came across this restaurant. This was not super kids-friendly as they have no small cutlery or a nutrient menu for kids. We were given a high stool and table which was not suitable for kids, however it was because we hadn't booked any tables earlier. The receptionist and staff were nice, but the menu was not flexible; I requested to add chicken into my daughter's pasta, and they refused to do so. Desert was good, Tiramisu was delicious and authentic recipe. Almond desert was also delicious, however it was a bit stale.

The food here is amazing!! Everything I had just kept getting better and better as they came out. The homemade focaccia was perfect, the calamari was probably the best I've had in a while, the sweet potatoes were a dream and with that brown butter (yum!), the octopus was my absolute favorite!!! If you like a little spice, don't miss out on this. And the pasta was superb 👌🏽 I loved that lots of items were homemade. The house wine was very good and a dollar an oz made it even better lol I will be back to try more off that menu! If you're looking for a small cozy setting, this is it. Make a reservation because it gets pretty busy. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bartenders kept us entertained with great conversations. Highly recommend Gusto 101!! I hear they are expanding too :)

My husband and I visited this place in the summer. We didn't love our cocktails, but our meals were hot and were delicious. It was a particularly hot day outside, so we chose to sit inside hoping it would be cooler, though it wasn’t much cooler with the windows open. That said, we still had a very enjoyable experience overall.

Whenever I'm craving good Italian food, this is my go to! Everything you've heard about their mafalde ai fungi is true: the sauce is creamy, savoury, and has a strong truffle flavour, and the noodles are the perfect al dente. I tried a few pizzas as well, and they've always been good. Their patate e salsicce pizza has potatoes on it, which I thought was really unique, and I'm glad that I tried it because it was delicious. The ambience is great for a date night or fun night out with friends or family. I recommend making a reservation because it gets quite busy. Nothing on the menu will disappoint!

I've been wanting to try their pasta for the longest time, so Winterlicious felt like the perfect excuse to finally visit. The interior has more of an industrial vibe, exposed elements, a lively atmosphere, and a spacious dining room. Service was pretty good overall, the staff were attentive and the pacing between courses felt smooth. Appetizers: The misticanza (gem lettuce salad with Italian vinaigrette) was super fresh and light. The dressing was nicely balanced, bright without being too sharp or acidic. The arancini had a crispy exterior with a creamy risotto center, offering a nice contrast in texture. The carpaccio featured thinly sliced, tender beef topped with mushrooms, which I enjoyed for the added earthiness. That said, I've had more memorable versions elsewhere. Mains: The mafalde al funghi (mushroom pasta with truffle cream) was the standout for me. The truffle flavor was subtle, but the pasta itself really impressed me. It was perfectly al dente with a great chew and a very generous portion size. The Gusto "Americano" burger was fairly standard. The patty was a bit thick, so the ratio felt slightly off, but the Tuscan fries and dipping sauce were excellent. Desserts: The tiramisu was classic and not overly sweet, though the portion was smaller than expected. The cannoli was my favorite of the three, the candied orange and pistachio worked really well together. The budino (dark chocolate pudding) was very rich, almost like eating melted chocolate. The sea salt on top added a nice contrast, though I wish there had been a bit more of it. Overall, Winterlicious was a great way to sample a variety of dishes. I'd come back specifically for the mushroom pasta, and I've heard they also sell frozen pasta packs to take home, which is definitely tempting.

Their mushroom/fungi pasta is enough to get them a 5/5 alone. Ordered the calamari, 2 pizzas, burger and 2 pastas which all game out fairly quickly at the height of dinner time. Service was just okay on this occasion and we felt the cannoli was a bit much with the candied orange. Overall their pizzas and pastas are the stars of the show and would 100% come back.

All around a great spot. Food was delish, atmosphere is very cute and nice, server was super helpful and gave us bar recommendations nearby. The bolognese serving size was really big too. Highly recommend if you visit Toronto!

When I come back to Toronto. I am DEFINITELY gonna go back here for the mushroom truffle pasta. It's heavenly. We were seated outside and the night was breezy. Felt perfect. The bathroom was a trip on its own haha

Just finished dinner here with the hubs. It was pretty crowded and loud inside so we chose to sit outside. Thank goodness for the heaters because this SoCal girl was freezing. We ordered a cavolo nero (kale salad), mafalde ai funghi (mushroom pasta) and pepperoni pizza. Even though I'm personally not a big fan of kale, the salad was surprisingly tasty. It was not bitter at all! But the show stopper had to be the mushroom pasta. I have never had such a unique looking pasta. The sauce was so good and the pasta was cooked to perfection. The pizza was also delicious. Who knew adding a bit of honey to a pizza would make me like it even more. Service was excellent. A bug flew into our glass of wine and they gave us a new glass that was FULL even though we already drank half! However, the order the dishes came out was a little strange. I expected the salad to come out first and then either the pasta or pizza, but the pasta actually came out first followed by the salad and pizza. Also, the pizza came out surprisingly fast. Overall a very delicious Italian restaurant. A must go to if you're ever in the area.

This was my first experience at the famous Gusto 101 My sister and I was at an event down the street and decided to stop by here around 5pm for an early dinner. Since it was such a nice day, we decided to sit on the Patio and it was great! The tables themselves were a little close together for my liking, but sometimes that's how Toronto Patios are. We started with the Arancini which was nice, but not as warm as I would hope. Then we decided to share one pasta dish & one pizza; we got the Pepperoni Pizza & the Mafalde ai Funghi pasta. The Pizza was great! but the pasta was such a small portion, I really wish they gave a bit more especially for the price. The service was good! especially for a busy Sunday evening. Overall it was aa pretty good experience, but I'm not sure I would be back. I have been to one of their sister restaurants, which I liked a lot better, so coming back here is still a possibility.

Dining at Gusto 101 was a truly delightful experience! We ordered classic pasta and a pizza, and every bite showcased the freshness and care put into the ingredients. The fresh celtuce on the pizza, paired with balsamic vinegar, was a unique and refreshing combination. The fried squid served before the meal was also incredibly crispy and tender, each piece perfectly cooked. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive; despite the restaurant's busy schedule, they maintained a consistently smiling and professional demeanor. The restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for small gatherings with friends, and the outdoor seating area was particularly relaxing and comfortable. From the food and service to the ambiance, it was a wonderful dining experience.. highly recommended!

My dining experience at Gusto 101 was fantastic! The food was superb, with each dish showing great creativity, especially their pasta, which was incredibly flavorful and perfectly captured the essence of Italian cuisine. The service was excellent; the staff were friendly and professional, offering many helpful suggestions that made the entire experience even better. The restaurant's atmosphere was also wonderful.. simple yet warm, perfect for gatherings with friends or families. Overall, it's a very comfortable restaurant and definitely worth revisiting. I will certainly go back and recommend it to my friends!

Gord and I had supper last evening at Gusto 101. It's a former auto garage and keeps up that theme. Our friend and neighbour, Dawn, had given us a gift certificate for Christmas and we finally used it this evening. We ate on the street level patio. It was a busy spot with lots to see! I had a pepperoni pizza with buckwheat honey (half came home for lunch tomorrow). Gord had Mafalde Ai Funghi (portobello, porcini, oyster mushrooms, truffle cream sauce). Both were delicious! Evan took good care of us.

Our friend that grew up in Toronto recommended Gusto 101 to us. I'm glad she did, as we really enjoyed the experience. We sat on the upstairs patio, and there was a great vibe there. It was packed, even on a Tuesday night. We tried the famous mushroom pasta (actually 2 portions of it), and it lived up to the hype. The truffle flavor was terrific. The kale Caesar salad was also excellent. They don't have a kids menu, but they were able to make smaller versions and those were good also. Service was great also. I would definitely recommend getting a reservation.

The food here may seem unassuming but it was absolutely delicious. As someone that is not usually into mushrooms, the Mafalde al funghi will forever have changed my mind. It is probably one of the best things I have ever eaten. The pasta was perfectly cooked and held up to the creaminess of the sauce it was drizzled with. The kale salad was so flavorful and simple, but made even a kale skeptic a kale fanatic and the service was very attentive. We chose to dine outside since it was the perfect fall evening, but they have multiple indoor and outdoor tables.

A solid Italian restaurant that has stayed consistent over the years. I find it pricier compared to other establishments, but it is in prime location downtown, so makes sense. Love their rooftop patio in the summer and will be back for happy hour/prix fixe dinner soon!

We had an amazing dinner at Gusto 101! The restaurant's environment is modern and lively. Since it was crowded inside, we chose to sit outside, and luckily they had heating so the temperature was just right. We ordered a salad, pizza, and pasta. The pasta was truly unique - I've never tried this style before and it was absolutely delicious. The pizza was also special because they added a touch of honey, which completely transformed the flavor in a surprising way. The salad was fresh and flavorful, rounding out the meal perfectly. Including a glass of red wine, the total for two people was only about $70 USD (with tip included) - very reasonable for the quality. Definitely a must-visit when in Toronto, and I'll be coming back for sure. 喺 Gusto 101 食咗一餐非常好嘅晚餐！餐廳環境好有格調，氣氛熱鬧。因為裏面太多人，我哋選擇坐喺外邊，好彩有暖氣，坐得非常舒服。 我哋叫咗沙律、Pizza 同埋意粉。個意粉非常特別，之前從來未試過呢種做法，味道好出色。Pizza 加咗少少蜜糖，令到成個味道完全唔同，非常驚喜。沙律亦都好新鮮，成餐飯配搭得好完美。 再加埋一杯紅酒，兩個人一共只係大概 $70 美金（已包小費），以呢個質素嚟講，真係非常抵。嚟到多倫多一定要試，值得再嚟！

Their Winterlicious deal is a steal! The 3-course dinner was $45- when on a normal night, a sole main plate is like $38. Bravo! The stand-outs were the polpette and the branzino. Still thinking about these! The textures and flavours were excellent. The service was friendly (though it was so busy that she forgot our wines until midway through the meal). I would definitely check this place out again-- perhaps on a quieter night. Tip: if you like Gusto 101's cannoli, make sure to also try the ones from Moreso Me on King and Walnut-- you can get it freshly made in front of you and there are loads of flavours to choose from. Just a hot tip for my fellow cannoli lovers!

I ordered the focaccia and burrata as appetizers before our dinner, and it was a fantastic start to the meal. The focaccia was crispy on the outside and soft inside, with a perfect hint of rosemary. The burrata was creamy and paired wonderfully with the fresh tomatoes and basil. Even though the focaccia and burrata are listed separately on the menu, the focaccia was definitely worth adding. For dinner, my party chose the famous Mafalde Ai Funghi and Casarecce Al Ragu. The mafalde is ideal for mushroom lovers and those who enjoy creamy pasta. The ragu in particular was my favorite; its rich flavor was unlike anything I've tasted before. The service was excellent! My water glass was always full, and our waitress ensured we were well taken care of. Since there weren't many people in the restaurant on a Thursday evening, it provided a nice, quiet atmosphere where we could enjoy our conversation.

This is one of my favourite restaurants to go to for delicious food and a good vibe. It's so pretty inside at night with the fairy lights and candles and the truffle mushroom pasta is honestly the best in the city in my opinion. The servers are nice and even when it's busy you can usually get a spot to squeeze into.

When we travel we always use yelp to find the local mom & pop restaurants, and this place did not disappoint! Great service, the truffle pasta was amazing; and the margarita pizza was excellent. We're definitely recommend

While I'm sure this restaurant has a bunch of other yummy food, the only reason I come here is for their Mafalde Ai Funghi!!! It's bomb and so delicious. I absolutely love pasta and this is my favourite pasta of all time. I never found any other pasta that came close to this. The truffle and mushroom taste blends together so perfectly. I love how it's not an Alfredo base. The service is always great. The waiter we had was very kind and accommodating when we asked to get another table with a better look out view. Super nice and attentive. The restaurant is slightly more classy than your average Italian restaurant. Cute for pictures and the lighting is dim which makes it more intimate.

I absolutely love the food here. They have plenty of vegetarian options and everything I had there was amazing! Every location has a different vibe so no two feel the same!

I've been to this location a few times and after every meal, I leave feeling.. meh? The location is really nice and there is a lot of seating on the patio and two floors inside. I find the food to be ok. There is something about the pasta here.. not sure if it's the sauce or the pasta itself, but I always get quite bloated after every visit. Not something that normally happens after I eat pasta or at other Italian restaurants. The starters are very good - we had the calamari and arancini. The pizza toppings were fresh but it was quite oily. I do like how gusto has wine on tap and you can choose how many ounces you'd like. Service was okay - started off strong to check in on us but we got there a little early for dinner and felt like we were kind of forgotten once it started getting busy. I'd come here for drinks and light snacks because the vibe is fun, but haven't been extremely wow'd otherwise.

First time trying gusto 101! I've been to the gusto 501 a couple times and have always enjoyed my experience. I went on a weekday at around 2PM which was just in time for their happy hour menu! I got their mafalde ai funghi pasta which was on the happy hour menu. The pasta was good, as expected. Thick pasta noodles, cheesy, with mushrooms and truffle. The service was where I was quite disappointed. We felt like our server was quite rude, unpleasant, and just had a negative attitude. Beside that, the environment is lively, and they have a great patio!

this is my 4th time here. today was for winterlicious. for appetizers, we got the beef carpaccio. delicious, fresh, and citrusy. it melted in my mouth slowly. for our mains, of course we got their famous mushroom pasta. al dente as usual, and the sauce was rich and creamy. my favourite in toronto. we ended up being really full, so we took the tiramisu home. pretty standard and delectable. environment was amazing. love the sunlight during lunch hours. service was fast and proactive. definitely will be back. great winterlicious deal!

Gusto 101 remains one of my favourite recommendations for Italian food in Toronto. I've been going here for years, way before the pandemic. Their Mafalde al Funghi is hands down their best dish. Cooked to perfection and full of umami from the mushroom. I honestly almost always get that dish when I go, though this time around I tried their Cavatelli alla Calabrese which was tasty as well. This location has great vibes for catching up with friends. They have a really spacious roof top that is covered so you're protected from the elements. They also have a nice outdoor patio area. And if you can't get a seat at either of those, their indoor dining/bar area gives a nice cozy moody vibe. I also appreciate that the music is never too loud so you can have a good conversation with a friend. It can get very busy so I recommend getting reservations but on week nights I haven't had any trouble getting a seat walking in. The servers have always been wonderful. Honestly I only have good things to say. Gusto 101 remains one of my classic Toronto recommendations.

I come here specifically for the truffle pasta (mafalde al funghi). They've truly perfected this dish. If you like truffles, then you'll definitely like this dish. Also love the ambiance of this place, it's industrial, rustic, and lively!

This place was so busy and popping when we went. The dim lighting and mirrors and candles were such a nice vibe. We ordered the mushroom risotto and mushroom pasta with bread, and we loved each dish sooo much. We thought two mushroom dishes would be too much, but honestly, the warmth and flavor of both were just soooo good. Service was friendly and quick to especially refill our water. I love loved this place.

Delicious Italian food in the city. I always go for the Margherita pizza, mafalde ai funghi and kale Caesar salad. It is a low lit restaurant adding to the ambiance and is very spacious with 2 floors and a patio out front. The service is pretty good but the star is definitely the food. It's always a classic that never disappoints in quality. Overall, a great spot in the city to get your Italian fix in.

Was definitely pleasantly surprised by Gusto 101. The food was actually really good and the ambiance is good for a date / girls night. The prices are a bit high but that's expected for the King St area. Amongst a group of 8, we ordered 4 apps, 2 pizzas and 4 pastas to share. This was a reasonable amount. The portions weren't the biggest but we made up for that in quantity of dishes. If you have a big group, you'll probably want to order more than 1 of a dish if people want more than one bite. My favourite app was probably the carpaccio. The burrata would have been my favourite, but it was just so small for $25! The pizzas we ordered were the diavola and salsicce. They cut it into six pieces each, which was an odd choice as we had 8 people and the slices could have been thinned down more, so I only got to try the salsicce. Honestly did not love it - the diavola looked better. Obviously, we got the funghi pasta as well - 4 of them. Each one was shared by two people, but I probably could have eaten one to myself. The sauce is just to die for! The pasta texture is also super unique and worth the hype. For $26, it's a must try. Overall I did enjoy my experience and I'll probably be back for the funghi pasta again. I paid around $60 for dinner (including some wine) which is reasonable - would have liked the apps to be a bit more sizable but I was pleased with the taste overall.

Solid, kind of corporate feeling, everything needs salt! Lovely sized menu and options - all well plated. I feel like in 2014 this would've been the coolest spot in the world, but it's just consistent and non offensive. Better than terroni. Service is friendly but unnoteworthy. Overall I'd say go for a corporate lunch or dinner, or to catch up with someone for the ease of access.

i love this restaurant but prefer the top patio floor. it is such a good vibe and the restaurant itself has pretty good food. the pizza and pasta itself are both solid

Finally got the chance to visit this restaurant, and it was quite different from what I expected. The interior had more of a bustling dining hall vibe rather than the cozy, intimate atmosphere I had imagined. It leaned towards a rustic industrial style rather than the traditional Italian aesthetic. We tried their legendary Mafalde ai Funghi, which was overall creamy. While the Mafalde was slightly chewy, the combination of oyster mushrooms and truffle cream elevated the taste. The Diavola Pizza was great - authentic Italian pizza with generous toppings and amazing dough. Service was satisfactory. Despite the growing number of great Italian restaurants in Toronto, Gusto 101 manages to hold its ground with consistent quality and reputation. If you're seeking a taste of Italy in Toronto, can consider giving this place a try. Food (quality, creativity, consistency) - 4/5 Drinks (quality, variety) - NA/5 Ambience (interior design, cleanliness) - 4/5 Service (courtesy, knowledge, timeliness) - 3.5/5 Value (quality vs. price) - 3.5/5 OVERALL - 3.75

I reserved a table online as i knew it's Taylor weekend in Toronto. We got seated promptly. They told us we have 1.5 hr, although at the top of the 1.5 hr, there were empty spots and neither did they rush us to leave. The cocktails were ok. The one my husband ordered was too sweet and the one I ordered with egg whites wasn't so sweet, so we switched. Then he ordered house wine which was very good and great value for money - $1 per oz. The focaccia bread for appetizer was the best part of the meal. Amazing, crusty and hearty bread and it paired perfectly well with their hot oil. The famous truffle mushroom pasta was ok - it was too al dente for us. I like the pastas at Za better! The mushroom pizza was pretty good. Then we finished with tiramisu and it was good. Overall, we were served well and had a good time. I'll probably come back for the wine and the focaccia bread. The ambiance is really nice, old wearhouse style building with cozy lights.

I wanted to try this place for a while for one reason that viral pasta. I ordered the malfade Al Funghi, I see everyone's instagram page with this pasta. The negative I would say you're charging 30 bucks for a small portion of pasta, but if it's good it's good. I waited less than 20 mins which isn't bad, and this place is ten times better than Sugo, it was packed and the pasta was aldente and the sauce was so good. It melts in your mouth, I want that recipe in that sauce that sauce is fire, their pizzas looked really good but it was over my budget for the day. The pasta was soft sauce was creamy, you just wanted to eat more of it and I think it lives up to the hype. I think one of the best pastas I had. I can see people come here maybe ona special occasion but that's crazy your charging 30 bucks for a pasta.

It was our last night in Toronto and we wanted to grab a quick pizza to go. So the wife found this place and I went to go and pick it up via a Uber drive. So when I first walked in, this place was PACKED! I'm sure you have to make reservations for this place for sure. The next time we are back in Toronto, we are making another stop here but to dine in. Now to the pizza, we had a margherita and a pepperoni and they were both great!

Gusto 101 is one of Toronto's most well known Italian restaurants and for good reason. Attempting to visit this place on a weekend might be next to impossible but with OpenTable I was able to make a reservation on a Monday night. Make sure to book at least a few days prior to get the time you like. The layout of the restaurant is different than most as you walk into the place with an open kitchen and you can see everything going on. It was dim and cozy building the ambiance of a nice date night spot. As for the food, our table tried the arancini, calamari and mafalde ai funghi (aka mushroom truffle pasta). The arancini was delicious and reminded me of the Cheesecake Factory mac & cheese balls. The calamari I'd skip as it was mediocre and was nothing memorable. The star of the night (other than me) was the Mafalade ai Funghi. As a meat lover, I've never thought I'd rate a dish a 10/10 that had no proteins in it but man this dish changed my mind. It's definitely a must try and something you will crave and come back for. The service was pretty good but nothing to rave about, she was attentive and that's all we could've asked for. Only reason this place isn't a 5 star for me is the price. I know downtown Toronto and rent is expensive but I felt like everything was a little overpriced for what it was. Other than that's, Gusto 101 was a delightful experience. 4.5/5

A friend who is a fan of Italian food dragged me to check in at an Italian restaurant. It seems to be the sister restaurant of Gusto501 that I never make an appointment with? 101 doesn't seem to be that difficult to make an appointment. If you can't make an appointment with 501, you can try this one. p2 DALIA Usually when I don't know what to drink, I will order Margarita! This is the first time I see a dragon fruit option haha. The waiter said it is their most popular signature dish, so I ordered it decisively. p3 The focaccia is quite fragrant~ It's just a bit big, which can make you full hahaha p4 The famous black truffle pasta Mafalde Ai Funghi p5 Their pizzas are all quite authentic. I feel that none of the flavors are bad. p6 The waiter recommended +1 It's really fragrant. It seems to be cheese and rice inside? It's very good for the first time. If you have to choose between it and the bread in p3, I still recommend this one

I came here solely for the mushroom pasta, and I would have to say that it is well worth the hype and the best in the city! Staff were attentive and helpful, especially given that it was a busy weekend night. The restaurant was extremely packed when we went, so it was a bit noisy/hard to hear people talking. Would definitely recommend making a reservation.

Delicious and cute spot! We tried the carpaccio, fries, Brussels sprouts and mafalde ai funghi and enjoyed it all. Our server was extra nice but the two hosts were absolutely the worse, acting quite entitled and snobby whereas all servers and other people working there were super nice.

This spot is a delivery staple when I feel like having their mushroom pasta. Its quite good and of and a decent taste punch. Pizza was ok and don't expect top tier here. I have only had delivery from here but might visit for happy hour one of these days

I've been to Gusta 101 probably over 40 times. I strongly believe every single one of their dashes are very good and well-made. The fungi pasta and fungi pizza are both my favorite fungi dishes I've had in Toronto. I can't find it like this anywhere else. The pizzas are very simple so if you're into that, it's perfect. My favorite is the margarita pizza. I recently went for brunch and their ricotta pancakes were amazing ! Very unique flavors. 1000/10 for gusto 101.

Dining at Gusto 101 across two consecutive evenings proved both consistent and memorable. Sofia, our server on both occasions, impressed us by recalling not only our visit but our exact order, adding a personal touch to the experience. The dishes...from Burrata with grapes and Margherita pizza to Funghi pasta, Misticanza salad, Focaccia bread and Tiramisu desert were all excellently prepared.

Did Uber eats and service was quick and had in an hour. The pizza was amazing and 10/10 highly recommend. Very flavorful and enjoyed every bite. The pasta was ok didn't love but great amount of mushrooms and pasta shape was fun

Their mushroom truffle pasta is worth going for. Service is fast and pleasant for how busy it was. Great place for a first date especially with the top floor with a glass ceiling.

Been here numerous times and nothing beats their Mafalde Ai Funghi. It is literally the best mushroom pasta I've had and I'd come back for it any day! Their Pepperoni Pizza is really good too, especially with the honey added. It gives you that perfect combo of sweet and savoury. Finally, the Cavolo Nero is really refreshing and I love it! This is a place I'll continue to come back even just for these three items and not trying anything else!

Hands down my favorite Italian restaurant in Toronto. I've been there twice and would definitely go again. Their ambiance is super nice as well with a closed rooftop seating, a patio seating and an indoor high top / regular seating. I love their sausage pizza and their mushroom pasta, definitely my go to dishes, just try!

Great place for Italian food. The restaurant has two levels. Lower level has a bar inside and some outdoor seating. The upper level is the rooftop with a centre table beautifully decorated in glass. It is always crowded as the food is amazing. Tried their oyster mushroom spaghetti pasta and Rose. Both of them tasted incredible. The music was good and went well with the ambience. Definitely check out if visiting Toronto!

I came here as a party of 6 around 4 pm on a Tuesday. This spot was very busy and I assume it was because of their happy hour which was an amazing deal as most items are half off! We had a reservation made so getting a table was no trouble. We initially wanted to be seated on their rooftop patio but was disappointed to find out it didn't open until 5 pm. Because of this, we requested to sit inside due to the heat of the day. We ended up being seated just by the stairs to the washroom, which gave us the indoor vibes but was close to the entrance for some nice fresh air. The only complaint about our table was that my friend occasionally felt something drip on her (we also saw it!) and had told our waiter but he never addressed it which affected our overall dine-in experience. The service overall was good but did not wow us. They were timely about filling out water and attempts were made to make the experience more customized - for example, our server had asked the kitchen to cut our pizza in six since we were sharing, but the kitchen never did so. The fact that they automatically added 20% in gratuity for tables of 6 people and up was steep in my opinion for the service we received. Besides all this, the food was indeed delicious. I got the famous Mafalde Ai Funghi and it really did meet my expectations. It was creamy and flavorful with perfectly textured pasta noodles. The Diavola pizza was also yummy with a nice chewy crust and the sun-dried tomato pesto really hit it home for me. The calamari was good but nothing to rave about and I personally like a garlic aioli more than the lemon one it was served with. The presentation for food and drinks was really nice as well.

I went here for happy hour (3-5pm) on weekdays. Wine was $3 and lager was $5, and pizza and pasta was 1/2 off (excluding the lasagna). I also got the Brussel sprouts for $7. There are several other small plate items that are discounted. Overall, service was great and food was decent. Of course, I tried the funghi pasta and it was delicious although a bit heavy. There is a mild truffle flavor to the pasta. Same goes for the Brussel sprouts and pepperoni pizza - a bit on the greasy side but to be expected and still taste great. The crust on the pizza was also a bit soggy. Wine and lager was surprisingly good - light and easy to drink. Overall, food was great with great value (during happy hour) although I'm not too sure if I'd pay regular prices here.

Was at the Portland St location recently. Food was pretty good (7 out of 10). Unfortunately the service was pretty much nonexistent (2 out of 10).
