quiero 101

I've been anticipating trying this place for months. We booked our table through OpenTable and were seated right next to the entrance door, which was letting in cold air due to the 3C temperature outside.

The disappointment arose when we noticed two empty tables—one of which we got which was right next to the entrance and another indoors. However, the staff mentioned someone else was waiting for the indoor table. While I didn't argue, it seemed perplexing given our earlier arrival.

Nonetheless, I appreciate the prompt relocation to the upstairs area, which they opened just in time. Our server, Ilyas, was exceptional and very helpful.

In terms of our order:

Burrata: 10/10 - Fresh and a must-try.
Shishitto Peppers: 5/10 - Lacked a wow factor, just okay.
Mafalde Ai Funghi: 10/10 - A must-try; made to perfection.
Spaghetti Alla Calabrese: 10/10
Pizza Funghi: 10/10

The true showstopper was the Tiramisu, undeniably one of the best I've had in Toronto. Anyone visiting Gusto 101 should definitely try the Tiramisu.

However, a drawback to our experience was the portion sizes. Despite being a party of six ordering seven dishes, the quantity felt more like a snack size. While I understand businesses aim for profit, this seemed disproportionate for the price paid. Management may need to address this to ensure customer satisfaction and repeat visits.

Overall, the experience was good.

First off big thank you to Darth Vador.. I mean Evan! Great personality, went above and beyond, and just stayed super pleasant our entire time there.

We ordered a pasta and a pizza and the portions here are INSANE! You get your moneys worth here that’s for sure.

You can sit inside or in the patio/ outside dining area which we will do on our next visit.

I would highly recommend this place.

Gusto never disappoints. Went here for our anniversary and the food is amazing. The pizza is so light, having the same texture of a pizza from Napoli, and it has a fun sweetness to it which makes it so unique and delicious. The pasta is also amazing. If you love mushrooms, I would definitely recommend that. Finally, you cannot leave this place without trying their tiramisu. It is unlike any others. I personally love it, but it is something everyone should try at least once. Thank you gusto, would highly recommend!!!
