    Came for date with my husband. Staff was very friendly. Ordered two delicious pizzas that came quickly and were hot. The best cocktails we’ve had, William the bartender was super knowledgeable and friendly! Deserts were 10/10 as well. Will definitely be back!!

    The antipasti were delicious, perfect combination of flavours. Pizza is as amazing as in Italy. I had Lucia with figues jam, gorgonzola, salami, and arugula. I want to come back already!

    Peyton truly had the loveliest personality. He was so quick with our orders, knew so much about the menu and was a ball of joy to be served by! I will go back and request him every time.

    Well done Pizzeria Gusto! Our first time having only arrived in Winnipeg from England 4 months ago. Food was well balanced, and interesting. Brussels and Chopper salad perfect to share and start. The squash ravioli and mushroom pasta both just right. Thanks Rachel for providing wonderful service and lovely chats. We’ll be back for mid-day Lavazza coffee that is properly smooth and nutty and not overly acidic like all the other coffee houses in town it seems. Ciao!
