Il Gusto Italian Restaurant Paddington

We casually strolled by wanting to go to dinner, initially drawn to the bright lights of an Italian restaurant down the road. That one was too full… and man oh man am I grateful for that! We were welcomed by friendly and attentive staff, we were seated at a clean and table big enough for our entire party, and then we ordered our food. We ordered pizza and pasta, when our food came all we heard were sounds of joy from people around our table as we made our way through our meal. This truly is incredible food made and served with love! I highly recommend the pasta and pizza!

Lovely restaurant a stone throw away from Paddington station and St Mary's Hospital. The manageress Lili was very helpful and friendly which made the dining experience all the more relaxing and enjoyable. The food was amazing and took me back to when I visited Italy all those years ago. The 3.9 Google stars it has at the moment is truly underrated! Will definitely visit again when I'm next in the area.

Came across this delightful restaurant close to Paddington station by chance. Attentive staff, with good service if not at times a little pushy about the more expensive drinks and having dessert, but they have bills to pay. Food arrived in good time, not overly rushed and certainly not rushed to leave. The food was lovely we opted for pizza as a main and it did not disappoint. I would wholeheartedly recommend and if I find myself in this area of London again I would consider them as an option for somewhere to eat.

After a long day of walking through the places of London, taking a good (total) 5 hours to even get here: It was a great idea to sit down here and have a bite. And oh boy. First of all the food was awesome. The food was made by hand using fresh ingredients and you could taste it. I personally had lasagna but with feedback from my companions it became clear that the pasta and vegetables were prepared perfectly. We thought that the desserts were good. The Tiramisu here has a different ingredient than what we’re used to. (from the Netherlands). However the chocolate fudge cake missed a tiny bit of flavor in my opinion. Presentation. The portion size was generous, and definitely more than enough, and it wasn’t served messy at all. It took around 5 minutes for the starter to arrive (which contained some garlic bread), and around 10 minutes for the main course, and another 5 for the dessert. The experience here was definitely worth it. Don’t even get me started on the staff; They were absolutely awesome. They are honestly very friendly, welcoming and all in all were very humble people. My compliments to the Chef. Grazie ⭐️
