We had booked this place for our wedding lunch after civil ceremony and leading up to the day I had constant communication with the manager. They kindly allowed us to bring in a cake and decorate the table early before the restaurant opened. The staff were so lovely and attentive and made sure all our food and drinks were perfect..the atmosphere was beautiful! The area we had sat was underneath the olive tree which made awesome photos! So happy I chose this restaurant for my wedding lunch.

Our first visit here with family and it was an okay experience. Bit chaotic on a Saturday night. The food was okay, well presented but nothing special. Better Italian restaurants out there. The Bar area by the entrance is probably the best bit here.

A very popular and lively restaurant with excellent food and service and our daughter had a free prosecco as she had graduated. A great place for celebrating maybe not so good for a quiet dinner. Totally recommend.

The service at this place is absolutely fantastic, really can't fault it. Our server was great, and so was everyone else we spoke to. Another positive is that none of the meat is hallaal, so I had more choice on the menu. I feel really bad about not giving a full 5 stars, especially as I was given a free dessert for my birthday, but have to say the main food was just ok, not as good as you'd expect from a place like this.

Friendly greeting upon entry seated right away, our server was excellent so friendly and engaging didn't have to wait for service at any point, food was beautiful absolutely stunning enjoyed everything definitely worth the price tag you could tell how fresh and high quality the ingredients are, highly recommended!!

Gusto standard maintained. After going to Nottingham branch, wanted to try Birmingham. Food and service is very good. Compared to Nottingham, ambience is less cozy at Birmingham. Washrooms are very neat and tidy.

Thank you to Gusto for a lovely meal catering for my dysphagia, which most restaurants do not do. The chef accommodated me immediately and offered advice on the menu, too. Much appreciated! It was a very tasty meal, and it must have been difficult for a chef to see a beautiful creation blended! Dysphagia is a medical condition that stops people from dining out. You allowed me to enjoy a meal out with my daughter for her birthday. Thank you so much. Truly grateful 🙏

Yesterday we had the best time at Gousto. Our family was celebrating a birthday, and our waitress Louise went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and enjoyed our night. She is fantastic at her job. The food was amazing too! Please add the panacotta back to the menu 😭.

Good service, polite and efficient. Lovely atmosphere. Easy to enjoy a conversation with friends. The food was very tasty but my vegan portions seemed small compared to the meat options. After a starter and a main, I left still feeling hungry. Other than that, really enjoyed the visit.

Great place, cosy, intimate lighting and modern decor. Food was lovely, between the three of us we had, antipasti sharing board, aranchini, duck, seabass, romesco pasta, affrogato and creme brulee, all of which was delicious. We mentioned that it was our friends birthday, and they served her dessert on a handwritten happy birthday platter and took the dessert off the bill complimentary. Also a great choice of cocktails here too. Our server Louise also to be complimented she was friendly, smiley and efficient.

Went for Christmas lunch with work colleagues. Service was good, food tasted great but the main dish was served lukewarm (I put this down to the fact that the restaurant was particularly busy and we were quite a large group). Ran out of both wine choices on our table but offered a better substitute for the same price. Would recommend...when not so busy.

First off we could choose our own seats - I love that. Have been to Gusto a few times now and I love the place. It’s a beautiful restaurant, the staff are always really nice and very attentive without being intrusive. I had Seabass and it was delicious and the broccoli with chilli peppers was a beautiful side dish. All washed down with a large glass of Rose’
I will definitely be back again and again

Evening meal with some finesse!
We came here for an early evening meal before heading out so it was fairly quiet (around 17:30) and we were seated straight away.
Our drinks order was quickly taken followed by the food order shortly after.
The food arrived in good time.
Starting with the crisp juicy calamari and king prawns with chilli and garlic. Both were good and would recommend.
For mains, chicken arrabbiata and chicken fettuccine. Again, both lovely mains.
If we were to come again we would possibly have the mains as ‘starter’ portion sizes and order some more starters as these were our favourite!
Would definitely come back.

nice ambience, very friendly staff. lemon and basil spritz was very refreshing. but the overall quality of food was a little bit disappointing. antipasti was not bad but the pizza dough was stiff with too little toppings on.

Had a fabulous meal at Gusto Birmingham. Staff were super friendly and food was delicious. Sunday roast was exceptional. My daughter had a fantastic Birthday celebration. Very reasonably priced as well. This is one of Birmingham's little treasures.

Excellent front of house, waitressing, food and atmosphere. Our waitress explained everything we ordered and even showed us a meat board and talked us through the different cuts of meat. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals - my lamb shank just melted in my mouth. My Negroni cocktail and the wines we had with our meals were spot on. Will definitely revisit and recommend. The surprise to my desert, demonstrates that the staff listen to what customers say when making a booking.

Had lunch yesterday and it was fabulous as always! The waitress was fantastic with our 8 year old and really engaged with him, food was lovely and he really enjoyed his ‘make your own pizza’ would definitely recommend for family’s as well as those without. Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon.

I have just returned after a work Christmas lunch which was a very disappointing meal. Food was served almost cold - my beef main became cold in the long wait for side vegetables to be brought out, and when they did appear the vegetables were awful! My colleague summed it up very well; "this looks like the bags of stuff you get from the supermarket to microwave!". The potatoes were clearly undercooked (rock hard in the centre) and the peas, carrots and sprouts were tasteless and bland. The meat was overcooked and, as said, cold by the time side dishes appeared.
Despite having asked in advance for an alternative, myself and a colleague were served dessert with alcoholic cream - when we asked for it to be fixed the chocolate tart came back plain. It would have been nice to be offered pouring cream or ice cream or any other alternative that didn't contain alcohol.
I understand that serving large groups (we were 24) is tricky, but I expect a professional restaurant to at least be able to serve food hot.

Excellent lunch time menu the food and atmosphere were fantastic. Rose was our waitress and she did a fabulous job with all her recommendations . Well done !
