My husband and I have just had such a lovely time at gusto. The food was delicious served in good time. Ollie our server was very attentive, friendly and super helpful with drink and food choices. A lovely calm environment to enjoy our lunch!

Lovely location with great decor and ambience. Server (very tall young lad) was spot on. Everyone loved their food. I would've given it 5 but a bit steep and I ordered a bit of a plain dish in the beef risotto. Just missed something.

The food was absolutely amazing! Catered for a large group of us including children and couldn’t fault the service at all! They even helped keep the children entertained by letting them make their own pizza’s before they were cooked! Only downfall was that the music was way too loud but that’s just been a bit picky! Would be visiting again!

To start with we managed to get a table for three people very much last minute, so that is a good start.
The staff we encountered were very friendly, lovely and profesional.
In terms of food, they have quite a range of choices from meat lovers to vegan.
Menu is attached.
We started with a sharing board that was delicious. Then, I wanted to try something different and went for the vegan redefine flank stake. I was pleasently surprise with the taste and the presentation. My other half had the seabass and our friend the honey lemon thyme chicken, I didn't taste but if they tasted the same as they smelled, OMG, I was having a little bit of food envy!
Desserts were also quite varied! I forgot to take the pics though, to focus on enjoying them from the first bite ✨

I don't post reviews often but we've been to Gusto a good half a dozen times now so I feel like this is honest and fair. First time was amazing, second time not so much and it took a while to return but the last few times have been consistently great. The food has always been good and I've not had a bad meal, the ragu is melt in the mouth. It was the service that let it down on our second visit (albeit some 2 years ago). We've now found such a friendly and attentive bunch of people. On our most recent visit today Ollie looked after us and he's a rare find in today's hospitality, knowledgeable and reads the room and makes you feel totally at ease. Also a half decent salesman as we took out the platinum membership but it's a bit of a no brainer with the discount you get. Best make the most of it so it'll be our regular haunt

Have eaten at a number of Gusto restaurants. Cookridge was excellent, nice ambience and decor surprised by its size and layout as it looks quite a small frontage.
Given it was Good Friday it wasn't as busy as expected so the atmosphere wasn't buzzing.
Food excellent and very good, friendly service
We really enjoyed the experience

First time visiting and definitely won’t be the last. The pizza was delicious and so was the garlic dough petals. We were served by Jemima she was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the food and drinks.
Thank you 🍕🍷

Another amazing meal at Gusto's, the food was the best we have ever had anywhere, everything was perfectly cooked and the flavours were amazing. The staff were all great and the ambiance was fantastic. We will be back very soon.
Our first visit but it won't be our last, we will be back with the family. Great food, great staff, great decor and layout. Loved it from when we first walked through the door as strangers until we left feeling like friends of Gustos.

Lovely afternoon birthday meal. Service was quick and attentive. Food was excellent, I had the Sunday Roast Beef, everyone else had a mixture of pizzas that were all finished with relish. I’ve been to Gustos on numerous occasions and it never disappoints.

Had a great experience last night with Chiara as our server. She made us feel so welcome and took care of us while we were there. She recommended some food when we weren’t sure what to get, which was great! Will definitely be returning

We have today dined at Gusto Cookridge and as always have enjoyed it immensely. Having met for the first time the new manager, Oli, we are certain this restaurant is in safe and capable hands. He is professional, friendly and efficient and an absolute asset to the restaurant and company as a whole. Even though there were only a few diners this lunchtime, I have given the atmosphere a 5 star too. There is nothing to dislike in any way. Thank you Oli for treating Mike and I so well. It won’t be long until our next visit.
Gerald Harrison
The staff are brilliant. We were made especially welcome by Oli who has time to make the occasion special and Sophie who managed our table was super efficient and a delight. The food is pretty good too.

Had a family dinner here on 2nd March. The restaurant is lovely and the food was excellent. Best of all was the superb service from the lovely Chiara. She looked after us very well, got us a special offer of a round of free drinks because it was one guest’s birthday and arranged a birthday candle in his dessert. Tip top service. Definitely recommend Gusto

We always go for a coffee/drink after work the staff is really courteous and professional. Definitely need to book before you arrive. We've never managed to get a table when we've just walked in. That said we usually go on Friday or Saturday evening which probably are the busiest anyway.
Felicity Wade
Super attentive staff, really accommodating. Izzy looked after us really well. All the staff helped make a special occasion even more special with some lovely kind touches. Beautiful food throughout and the decor was amazing, we were really impressed when we were taken to our table!! First visit to Gusto in Cookridge and it won't be the last! 👏😊
Jeremy Reynolds
This place couldn't be more attentive if they tried from walking in, to ordering drinks and foods. By the way the food was amazing. Parking in cookridge was straight outside the door so win win.
Becky Higgins
We visited Gusto last night for a 60th birthday. Firstly I cannot fault the service from all staff, we had 7 kids all making pizzas and that alone took patience. The food was all delivered piping hot and of a very high standard, and again with a table of over 20 it was very well managed.
Secondly the food was absolutely amazing. I have not eaten food of that standard for a long time. I will definitely be returning, and I can strongly recommend the meat platter and crab spaghetti. Good work gusto

BIT OF A DISAPPOINTMENT. Have been to Gusto several times over the last few years and always really enjoyed it, however our recent visit was disappointing. It was very busy for a Monday evening but it was 50% off food. There was a short delay getting our table but we didn't mind that. The bar staff got our drinks wrong clearly was rushed and wasn't listening. Service at the beginning of the meal was good and lovely starters, however the main course a duck pasta in tomato and red wine sauce which two of us had was poor, it was just a bland tomato sauce with few bits of duck and it was barely warm. We didn't get a service check so we just ate it as we were hungry. We had to get our own desert menus as no one came to ask if we wanted anything else, despite us having finished and having no drinks. Deserts were lovely but again after deserts no service, we had to chase the bill. All in all a bit of a disappointment. They needed more staff on what was a very busy night. Won't be rushing back.

Horrible. One member of staff was lovely who served us, however we had 3 lasagnas , one of which was stone cold ! ( obviously hasn't being microwaved long enough .. tasted like a microwave meal...) one had like Brizzles in from the meat which wasn't the nicest of thing to find on your meal. My friend ordered a pizza which he got a few weeks ago from this place. Must be on a price cut !! The toppings was very shady hardly anything looked like a few pieces of ham had being slapped on the pizza!!! The girl who gave us the bill more a less slammed it down she was very rude! Won't be returning ... plus to top it off ordered a coke ... normally I enjoy a nice slice of lemon or lime,,, not ORANGE ���
Helen Carter
Been going here for 40 years as a family always got discount irrelevant of the time we went. Mostly food was good but the lasagna was dry with uncooked lumps of carrot in it which to be fair was knocked off the bill even though we didnt ask which was good. Seem to be new management in which obviously don't recognise loyalty card! Still worth a go but not worth the bill we paid.
Lesley Kilvington
My husband and i went for a meal last night and loved it! Despite the restaurant been busy we didn't have to wait long, we had starters, main and shared a sweet ( i also had a fab cocktail) we booked the table for 7pm and had a lovely couple of hours. I would definitely recommend it, the food was lovely and the staff were friendly, helpful and polite we had a lovely evening �
Louise Dodd
Another lovely family meal here celebrating father in laws birthday. Great service, really helpful staff, delicious food. We will be back and highly recommend.
Caroline Cryer
Had a birthday booking of 20 people, gave a deposit and had to have a set menu due to the size of our group which probably could have done with an extra main course as it was very limited, the only disappointment was that although we were prepared for this menu when we actually ordered, some of the items weren’t available, however the staff did everything to accommodate people making off the set menu choices instead. We were very looked after for such a big group and the food was delicious. Thank you to the manager who kept coming to make sure we were all happy and the waiters who were run off there feet with our drinks and food orders x
Ben Brown
Some of the best fine dining I have experienced in Yorkshire. Highly recommend.
Andrew McIlroy
We’ve been to gustos quite a few times now. And we really enjoy eating in the restaurant,. The food is authentic Italian and we’ve never not enjoyed a meal, added to that, the guys working the restaurant are great. Very friendly and excellent service.
However, the bar area at the front of the restaurant does not impress quite as much. Literally every time we’ve come in for a couple of drinks or had a drink at the bar whilst waiting to be seated one member of staff in particular always spoils the whole experience and leaves a sour taste in your mouth. He’s pretty rude and abrupt.
Dawn Abbiss
Great food, staff friendly and attentive. Good parking , definitely recommend. 😀
Naomi Elizabeth
Long wait to be seated at our table during which we ordered drinks at the bar (interrupted drinks-making by several drinks orders for the ‘seated guests’). Once seated service slow and despite an early evening booking time of 6.30, no fillet steak left (which my mum the birthday girl had planned to order when we’d perused the menus while waiting for a table). One miserable server who brought the meals. Slow service. Food quality was the only aspect making me give 3 starts rather than 1 or 2. Once the bill came waited another lengthy period to be able to ask for a card machine. Will potentially book again as the restaurant is on the doorstep but disappointing and certainly not a successful meal out. *could do better*
Joel Mitchell
Had a really good time here! The staff were incredible and the food was brilliant - would recommend to anyone
Deano Watson
Great service fun atmosphere and good food nothing too much trouble really enjoyed our afternoon for my mum's 70th birthday would definitely recommend
Catherine Westerman
Great service. Lovely food. Most enjoyable night to celebrate our anniversary with a complimentary glass of bubbles. First time there but will definitely go again 😁😁
Charlie Taylor
Came to this Gusto for my friends birthday, it was perfect. The decor is lovely inside, the waiting staff are attentive and the food is delicious.
Sharon Hill
Absolutely loved our meal for my daughter's graduation excellent food the staff couldn't do enough for us. Thank you xx
Hannah Munns
Waiter - fantastic! Couldn't be friendlier or offer better service but you had run out of everything from cocktails to specials to main menu items to wine which was really annoying. Food we had was lovely but it wasn't what I'd wanted (neither was the wine). The most annoying thing at Gusto is the sticky tables 😱
Sharron Hey
We went last night for 2 joint birthday celebrations upon arrival we were greeted by a rude man who made us feel like we were not welcome. Dispite booking well in advance he did not have a table to accommodate us and said we would have to be finished by 7.15 giving us just 1 hour 15 mins to eat our meal! Yet we had empty tables next to us the whole time. We have visited gusto several times over the years in fact I have previously left 5 star reviews but felt let down on this occasion. I will not rush back.
