In the heart of Cape Town’s Century City, Gusto Urban Italian Restaurant brings a refreshing take on Italian dining. Far from a traditional trattoria, Gusto embraces a contemporary and stylish identity that appeals to the modern diner. With sweeping views of Ratanga Park and the Canal, the restaurant offers a sophisticated yet welcoming setting where every detail—from the design to the menu—reflects an urban Italian lifestyle. The atmosphere is elevated but unpretentious, creating a space where guests can slow down, indulge, and celebrate the art of Italian living.
A Celebration of Italian Flavour with a Modern Twist


At the centre of Gusto’s kitchen is its traditional wood-fired oven, where pizzas emerge with golden, blistered crusts and pastas are served with authentic richness. But Gusto is more than classic Italian fare—it is Italian reimagined with urban flair. The menu offers a mix of traditional favourites and inventive dishes, each prepared with precision and passion. Guests can enjoy hearty mains, light deli offerings, or a quick to-go option for those on the move. The experience is complemented by an extensive wine list carefully curated by the collaboration between a South African sommelier and an Italian chef. This unique partnership ensures that every pairing remains true to Italy’s culinary spirit while celebrating Cape Town’s vibrant wine culture.
Alfresco Dining, Stylish Ambience, and Canal-Side Views


What sets Gusto apart is its ability to transport guests to a slice of Italy while remaining deeply rooted in its Cape Town setting. Whether you’re sipping wine in the chic dining room, soaking up the calming canal views indoors, or enjoying the piazza in true Italian al fresco style, Gusto offers an environment that inspires connection and joy. Each dish is more than food—it is an invitation to slow down, to share, and to savour life’s simple pleasures. With its combination of stylish design, urban energy, and authentic Italian soul, Gusto Urban Italian is more than a restaurant—it’s a destination. Whether you start your day with coffee and pastries or end it with a plate of vibrance and flavour, one thing is certain: at Gusto, your table is always ready.
