Located in a busy area with few bars or eateries – and within a stone’s throw of Rome’s famed shopping street Via del Corso – ‘Gusto has cornered the market on hungry upscale shoppers and visitors in need of sustenance and refreshment.
A combination wine bar, pizzeria, and restaurant, the venue occupies an elegant columned building constructed under Mussolini’s rule and caters to a sophisticated, well-dressed clientele.
While the downstairs pizzeria offers a casual and traditional dining environment, the spacious upstairs restaurant creates a more romantic ambiance with its high ceilings, oak and terracotta accents, and clean white-and-black décor complemented by the photography of legends like Andy Warhol.
Guests can also gather under the porticos or at marble tables in the sleek wine bar to sample the delights of ‘Gusto’s cellar, which consists of over nine hundred vintages.
Whether patrons are in the mood for a quick pizza, a candlelit dinner, or fine wine and conversation, ‘Gusto certainly delivers.
