About this restaurant

If you like homemade Italian food and a cosy atmosphere, Il Gustoso is the place to dine. Opened in 2007 by Massimo an alumna of Rome’s very popular restaurant Vanni; Il Gustoso has become one of the most celebrated Italian Restaurants in West Kensington and the surrounding areas.Located in West Kensington, on the doorstep of the beautiful Holland Park and within reach of Hammersmith Town Centre, Il Gustoso brings authentic Italian flavours to the heart of London. Il Gustoso is very popular with Italian groups, putting you in mind of the old maxim that natives only eat their own cuisine abroad if it is truly authentic. Il Gustoso is a real rarity in London – an authentic Italian restaurant, which does the basics exceptionally well; it is therefore no surprise that Il Gustoso was once described by a customer as a “Great Find, Hidden Gem!”

    Il Gustoso on Blythe Road in Brook Green is a great Italian restaurant with an authentic flavour and a local feel. The food was delicious and prepared in an 'Italian way'. I certainly expect to go back there, it was a great place for a quiet meal.

    Il Gustoso - London. It was fairly quiet when we arrived, another couple and a table of 4 adults and children all already eating. We had to wait a while before being given menus, and when we ordered, there was a wait of 30 mins before our starters arrived, our main courses turned up approx 20 mins after we'd finished our starters. The food was okay, but the menu was quite sparse. We were offered a free drink when we ordered the bill which was a nice touch! Not for those in a hurry!!

    Fairly empty for a friday night, but there was a fair amount of take away pizza traffic and we soon found out why. There wasn't much in the way of pasta on the menu so we both opted for pizza and they were very tasty. Lashings of anchovies, capers, fresh tomato sauce and not too cheesy. A chilled little place making it good for a beer and pizza in the evening.

    Il Gustoso near Hammersmith, London. Looking for Italian restaurant before a show at the Appolo. 10 minute stroll situated on a corner of a busy road. Nice table by the windows, service was friendly and appropriate despite we were the only diners between 18.00 and 19.20. Food was simple, tasty and well presented with a nice ambiance. Pity nobody else to create the 'buzz'

    food was pretty ordinary, but staff were attentive and the environment was lovely and relaxing. The menu was too big, and as a result I dont think the dishes fulfilled their potential.
