Anna SSeptember 3, 2013The kale salad with steak is absolutely great and so is Pappardelle ai Funghi - creamy yet not too heavy, with a lot of flavour. Came in before 5pm on a weekday, didn't wait long, great service!
Adam FJuly 8, 2014A converted garage is the place for this tasty and fresh Italian joint. Start your journey with the Kale Salad and bruschetta and then move on to a pasta. Tried the Frutti de Mare. Just incredible.
Azhar BayJanuary 13, 2020Truffle pasta is really good, but pricey. Chocolate dessert is very nourishing, you can order it to share with a partner/friend. Tiramisu cream was heavy for me, I think I can make it better :D
- Jamie SarnerJuly 19, 2018Gusto 101 dishes out some amazing brunch dishes! I recommend starting with yummy mushroom bruschetta for appetizer. Continue with The Prosciutto e Rucola pizza and end with a strawberry panna cotta!
Nina IordanovaJuly 30, 2016The house wine is surprisingly so good! The rooftop patio is really great - perfect for dates or spending time with the girls. Tasteful decor and good atmosphere.
Excellent place. Vibe, good service, location, interior, great food - all there. Tried pizza this time. Comparable to one at Pizzeria Libretto but still lacks something.
Marc LewkowitzMarch 9, 2018Great vibrant spot, friendly staff, outstanding food quality and preparation. A place you will want to keep coming back too and don't overlook the second floor patio with the retractable roof!
Sash McGashAugust 25, 2018The burger and the mushroom and truffle cream pasta were absolutely unreal. The place has a great vibe, really nice servers. Didn’t get a chance to try the pizza but it looked great too
- RNovember 1, 2020One of Toronto’s premier Italian spots. The mafalde ai funghi (truffle pasta) is the standout, but the cavoletti di Bruxelles (Brussels sprouts) as a side order is a must for me.
Tyler YangAugust 9, 2014Gusto 101 is a great spot for a more modern take on signature Italian dishes. Some excellent imported wines selected by their sommelier/owner. Good price points for the more frugal or frivolous.
Jennie KSeptember 8, 2013Love the vibe on the fab rooftop patio. More intimate inside. The staff are adorable (minus the guy in the Yankees cap...boooo). Order the kale salad. Have an espresso just for the cute cup!
Great spot for casual Italian food. Lots of outdoor space in the summer (the whole roof opens up). Great cocktails as well.
john econoOctober 4, 2013PAPPARDELLE AI FUNGHI. Wow. I drool thinking about it. Perfectly cooked pasta... so much flavour... goes great with their house wine. Other things can be hit or miss, but this is always perfection.
DannaOctober 7, 2013Fave: Da Dee pizza (sweet potatoes, lacinate kale, local fior di latte, caramelized spanish onions, pecorino, rosemary) and Salmon (fava beans, escarole, pachino tomatoes, salsa verde)
Julia LancNovember 8, 2018The Pasta and Pizza here is sooo good, but you have to try the Kale Caesar Salad. Try to book reservations here as they are usually full.
MarvinSeptember 24, 2015The food menu could be bigger — relative to its drinks. If you're going for some grub, get the mushroom pasta.- Julia LancDecember 6, 2018The pasta and pizza here are sooo good, but you have to try the Kale Caesar Salad. Try to book reservations as they are usually full.
Great decor/atmosphere and service. (Getting a seat upstairs is a plus). I had the Carpaccio and Moroccan Chicken. Both were delicious. Definitely going back.
WendyJune 24, 2017Get the mushroom pasta (mafalde ai funghi). The truffle cream sauce is to die for.
MaxAugust 21, 2016If you are not sure about the weather, use the roof top terasse. Good breeze out there.
Karen NAugust 10, 2013Amazing Italian cuisine with gorgeous rooftop! Pasta can be a bit too salty, so just ask for less.
Lisa ChristinaDecember 12, 2015Rigatoni, kale salad and arancini are to die for. I couldn't help but close my eyes after every bite to savour it. This place is good... Dare I say better than moms
Deb LewisMay 26, 2012Food has been good but the bar and patio area are even better. Great place to hang and check out the king west scene. Lovely private room downstairs for dining.
The carpaccio & polipo (char grilled octopus) were fantastic. Their egg noodles were also phenomenal - had the Pappardelle ai Funghi. They make a great negroni too - but drink service was slow.
Evelyn SoMay 12, 2014Excellent service even during busy times. I had the ink pasta - 7 out of 10. Kale salad is popular and famous, apparently.- simhskalOctober 14, 2018Truffle funghi is what you want if you're a vegetarian. If your pasta is not hot enough, switch it. Wait lines are long so go early or go home.
Best kale salad I've ever had. Pair it with a flatiron steak and you're golden.
Desirée MacDonaldFebruary 16, 2018Great for groups! Enjoy the upstairs or downstairs. Either way, the food and cocktails are next level good.
Syd HeresyApril 17, 2014I had the Prosciutto Pizza and it was amazing! I definitely want to eat here again next time I'm in Toronto!
Michael BourneOctober 18, 2013Incredible Fettucine with the mushroom pasta. It used to be good. Now it's better. TRUFFLE PASTE!
Katie AndradeJuly 17, 2017I love the vibe at this place. Great patio and delicious food. Can't go wrong!- A LNovember 5, 2016Kale salad with the currants and lemon vinaigrette - ahmazing. Great service and atmosphere.
Tony LanciaOctober 10, 2013Totally have the kale salad. It's amazing!! House red is a winner. Linguine al fungi is delish!
Renee TJune 24, 2012Get the Avocado Lemonade. It's got an unique flavor with a kick. "My friend" swears by it as the ultimate hangover cure.
Megan MastersOctober 5, 2018Nice dinner spot in Toronto. Quite a bit of denim on denim by the staff...
Samanta BriceñoAugust 7, 2014Pollo al matonne is really Good. The patio has a nice decoration. Kind of a man cave restaurant
Matt RehmanAugust 26, 2012The brick chicken was really good... Get there early and you'll get a table, come late and have to wait.
Kenny KimJuly 29, 2013The seafood spaghetti was the best I've ever had. The server was totally on point w suggestions as well.
Fatih KuranFebruary 4, 2016We made the reservation for the patio but they said it was full upon our arrival. Service is slow at times. Pizza and house wine is good
Shawna LeeMay 6, 2013The Carpaccio is delish, the classic tomato salad very good, Margharita pizza was very good. Rooftop patio a warm weather must :)
Try the Rigatoni Luciani. The lamb is amazingly tender. Great food and awesome staff.
Chandana KunduApril 4, 2013Awesome In House tap wine...loved it..food is amazing..bt pasta is d best.

Gusto? Literally, “tasty” in Italian. The 101 is where to find us on Portland street. We’re just a joint that serves nice food and wine.
