Located in Toronto’s Portugal Village neighborhood, Gusto 101 Toronto is the popular neighborhood Italian eatery occupying a space of a former garage, wonderfully decorated and repurposed, with high ceilings, an open kitchen, long communal tables, and a huge outdoor patio. The place is extremely popular and quickly gets packed, so be prepared to wait. The menu offers simple Italian country dishes with the focus on their quality ingredients. It is Southern Italian food with a contemporary twist. Try their antipasti dishes such as tagliere misto or carpaccio or indulge in the ravioli alla Norma or rigatoni Bolognese. You cannot go wrong with one of their delicious pizzas. They use a wood-fired Tuscan grill to prepare delights such as chicken with artichokes, field mushrooms, soft egg, pecorino, and lemon. Their bar is well-stocked and they offer imaginative cocktails, a nice list of wines to go with your meal, and a popular wine on tap.
