Gusto - Wine Bar & Restaurant Menu

From a reviewer’s perspective, the menu at Gusto - Wine Bar & Restaurant at 3 Goswell Rd. presents a well-rounded Italian-inspired selection that balances comfort with refinement. The starters set a polished tone, featuring Burrata With Beetroot & Butternut Squash, Sautéed Exotic Mushrooms, and Smoked Chicken & Charred Roasted Peppers, alongside more elevated bites such as Grilled Scallops On A Velvety Asparagus Sauce and Bresaola Tortelloni With Ricotta, each suggesting a focus on rich textures and seasonal ingredients. Moving into pasta, the offerings remain classic yet satisfying, with Strozzapreti, Gnocchi With Tuscan Sausage And Caramelised Onions, and Seafood Risotto standing out as hearty, flavour-driven choices. The mains continue this rustic Italian theme with depth and warmth, including Slow-Roasted Pork Belly With Braised Fennel And Baked Potato, Sea Bass With Silky Red Cabbage Purée, and Grilled Italian Sausage, Herbed Polenta And Wild Mushrooms, while the vegetarian-friendly Parmigiana: Crispy-Fried Aubergine, Rich Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella And Parmigiano Cheese adds a comforting, traditional highlight. Side dishes such as Seasonal Grilled Vegetables and Rosemary And Garlic Potatoes complement the mains without overshadowing them. The wine list further elevates the experience, offering sparkling and dessert options like Perla Nera Prosecco, Monpissan Metodo Classico Brut, and Passiflo Passito Malvasia Puntinata, while the reds-Sangiovese Previata, Primitivo Masso Antico, AmicaleMenhir Salice Salentino, and Primitivo Quota 29-along with whites such as Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie Previata, Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie Bosco, and Cascina Radice Cortese Del Piemonte, reinforce a strong Italian wine identity. Overall, the menu feels cohesive, approachable, and rooted in traditional Italian flavours with just enough refinement to appeal to a modern London dining crowd.
