One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to. Shame about the location. Never the less food speaks for it self. Would come again.
We went there last night (party of 4) after a canal walk and had such a lovely evening. The staff were very warm, welcoming and attentive. The food was lovely and excellent value for money. Shame it’s not local to us as we would definitely make this a regular stop.
Ristorante Caffe Gustami is a small independent Italian restaurant near the Jewellery quarter. It is not very big, with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. You can see pictures with the chef owner around the restaurant. Italian music is playing throughout. There is a large variety of wines. The staff are very friendly, the waitress is very knowledgeable and when presented the menus also explained the specials for the day. The prices are very good and the food is absolutely delicious! Everything is homemade. Even the chef comes out after every course to ask if the food is alright. Such a nice and friendly environment. You feel like you're transported in an intimate restaurant in Italy! Recommend the sharing platter with cheese, different nibbles, homemade focaccia and hams and salami! The risotto is absolutely delicious. The pasta is so fresh and tasty! Definitely recommend!
We were so surprised to find a such high quality Italian restaurant in this location. We enjoyed the starter, main course and our desert, for a fraction of price we expected.
Very pleasant staff and good food! Place looks simply and not much interesting to come inside, but you will be surprised with the hospitality they meet you and with nice menu. Everything is really fresh and cooked with love. Thank you

Went in after days of craving pasta, and was delighted on every count. Clean, bright, fresh designed interior; very pleasant to look at with Italian music playing gently. It was a 30 degree day out, but inside felt cooler and refreshing. It was incredibly cosy and we are definitely returning! I especially look forward to returning in the cooler seasons, as the food was hot and hearty, great for satiating cravings and hunger.
They had quite a few specials and they were all incredibly appealing. The man who served us was very kind and described every dish for us and did not give off condescending or judgemental vibes at all. He also checked on us throughout and was super responsive and helpful.
The creamy salmon pasta was very delicate in flavour with incredible tasting smoked salmon. The spaghetti with meatballs was everything I ever wanted in a plate of pasta – hot, fresh tomato, garlic herby sauce with spaghetti that was perfectly cooked and meatballs that were just solid and meaty. We also ordered the Panna cotta with chocolate topping and the chocolate sauce was so rich, the Panna cotta being smooth and full of flavour, a fantastic consistency.
Great experience, and as other reviews said, don't judge a book by its cover. This was perfect and ticked all the boxes, for reasonable prices! Definitely returning and recommending to anyone who wants Italian food!!! No faults! Can't thank the person here enough for the pleasant experience.
Very relaxed atmosphere. The food is authentic and tasty. The staff are very friendly. I've been twice already and will be back for sure.
Brilliant experience with nice food at a very affordable price. The restaurant feels more like of a little takeaway place with a few tables on the front however the food is really nice with a wide selection of wines to pair it with. When I got there, it was quite busy which resulted with a longer waiting time for service but I had a good experience overall. The experience was only better when i found out the prices are actually really low for the quality of food served. If the atmosphere inside was better, I would give it 5/5.
Behind a rather nondescript façade and in an inauspicious part of Birmingham is this fabulous place. Authentic Italian cooking, relaxed atmosphere, affordable prices and friendly staff. If you like food in Italy but are disappointed about eating Italian in UK (like me), this is the place for you. Always pleased to return.
Lovely authentic Italian restaurant on my doorstep love it there very friendly rustic food well cooked would definitely recommend
