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.

    First time here and won’t be the last! Truly an amazing dinner. The atmosphere is very nice and cozy. The food is very fresh and expertly crafted, as well as the cocktails. You can tell the chef’s and bartenders take pride in their work. I recommend this place to anybody who hasn’t been here before and enjoys Italian food. The calamari, pizza and pasta was very good!

    The server we had could not be bothered or care less about our meal or experience. In fact another server took better care of us by constantly refilling our water. Venue was beautiful though. Food was alright, just middle of the road

    My friend and I absolutely love coming here! It’s such a fantastic environment and the food/drinks are phenomenal. Our server Jett was amazing, he gave us great advice on what drinks/food to get and was super knowledgeable. Jett was extremely attentive and kind, one of the best servers my friend and I have had in awhile :)) The octopus is one of the best we’ve ever had, 8/8 tentacles for sureeee!!!!

    Food and restaurant were excellent. Only thing that could’ve been better was to get the actual table I had reserved. Reserved a table for the top floor and ended up being placed in the bottom floor. Besides that though it was a nice restaurant and would go again.

    Service was great, food was consistent and delicious as always, the only thing I wished was for the host or server to let us know before seating that there was a time limit of an hour and a half. Still not a big issue as that is quite standard but would've been nice to have been informed that. Nonetheless will be back as always!

    The street patio was moved away in October, but the inside is quite outdoorsy, as it has huge opening windows. The pizza and the pasta we had were a bit sweeter than they should have been. Besides, Happy hour is a good catch at Gusto.
