Gusto Italiano - Auckland

Fantastic pasta, pizza and the desserts were amazing!<br/ <br/ We ordered the ravioli, gnocchi and penne pastas and a margherita pizza. Everything was just right, couldn't fault any of them.<br/ <br/ We hadn't even heard of this place until recently, it is an Italian gem tucked away in Ponsonby. We'll be back.

We were welcomed by a friendly and experienced waitress. We were seated straight away, given menus and water. <br/ <br/ The service was impeccable. Friendly, helpful and engaging. I would have given a 3.5/5 for the food but bumped it to a 4/5 be cause of the exceptional service. <br/ <br/ The food was good but lacked seasoning for me. Everything seemed a little bit bland except for the woodfired pizza. That was tasty. <br/ <br/ I also love the cheese they use. It's so stretchy and well cheesey! <br/ <br/ Loved the service.

Gusto, you were amazing! An intimate space which was very busy on the night I went with a mate. We booked a week in advance because we missed out a couple times before due to poor planning on our part. This was well worth the wait though. We started off with the garlic pizza bread with mozerella which base was so thin and soft and the edges were nice and crispy. Perfect! Then we had our pasta. She had the fettuccine and I had the tortellini which was absolutely divine. I couldn't get enough of that sauce. The truffle and porcini combination was just so delicious. We then finished our meal with a tiramisu and limoncello. The zabaglione in the tiramisu was so light and fluffy and the limoncello sure had a kick to it. Overall, this was a great dinner. The restaurant was busy with people who hadn't made bookings having to be turned away at the door but we were still well attended to and the meals came out on time. Definitely be back!!!

Been here several times now. Really sweet cozy place. The staff are super friendly.  We usually get a garlic pizza bread to share. The kumara gnocchi is really nice.

My second consecutive zomatogold experience!! Tried out this well-known Italian restaurant. The place could be a bit difficult to find, yet, we were surprised by the size of this handmade pizza! Along with their signature lamp rump, and thanks to Zomatogold, it's only $45 for 2 ppl! What a great deal
