About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Neighborhood gem
Gusto (pronounced Goo-sto) means tasty in Italian. Located in Toronto’s Corktown neighbourhood, Gusto 501 brings together the innovation of sister restaurant Gusto 101 and the soulful hospitality of Janet Zuccarini’s first restaurant, Trattoria Nervosa. Since opening our doors in 2020, Gusto 501 has been serving fresh takes on Italian fare in Toronto’s east end. Designed by award-winning architecture firm PARTISANS, Gusto 501’s space is punctuated by glowing terracotta walls and an oversized “garage door” façade that opens up to reveal a multi-level dining theatre.

Every level of Gusto 501 unfolds into a unique experience. Whatever you're craving, there's always a seat at the table for you - our famiglia.

    Gusto 501 is my and myy husband's go-to for a chill brunch on weekends. This visit, we went with my sister, and she also loved the food and ambiance of the restaurant. This place is one of our most recommended places to go for chill brunch / romantic dinner / celebrations.

    Service and food were pretty good. Ambient kinda loud and too dark (but just for me). I’ll come back during the day. Recommended specially if you live in the area

    Food is absolutely amazing. Our waitress is great. However, I arrived with no one at the front door greeting me meanwhile two staff were standing next to me on their phones chatting and texting for a good 5 minutes. It does get loud around 6pm-7pm.

    Food was delicious and nice portion of pasta and pizza. Table outside on patio was a bit shaky and the patio lacked charm. We decided to sit outside because it was nice out. Next time will probably sit inside though it was louder due to being busy and music playing. Service was just 'ok' nothing stood out in particular or made it memorable

    The food was delicious, hot and promptly delivered. Wine choice was excellent. The restaurant is beautiful and has a great vibe. It was a little difficult to hear but perhaps because we were seated on the main level very close to the kitchen and washroom so traffic was high. I wished we were upstairs but it was very busy for a Tuesday evening. Next time I’ll ask about that. Otherwise I will definitely recommend and go back as it’s right in my neighborhood
