Gusto (pronounced Goo-sto) means tasty in Italian. Located in Toronto’s Corktown neighbourhood, Gusto 501 brings together the innovation of sister restaurant Gusto 101 and the soulful hospitality of Janet Zuccarini’s first restaurant, Trattoria Nervosa. Since opening our doors in 2020, Gusto 501 has been serving fresh takes on Italian fare in Toronto’s east end. Designed by award-winning architecture firm PARTISANS, Gusto 501’s space is punctuated by glowing terracotta walls and an oversized “garage door” façade that opens up to reveal a multi-level dining theatre.

Every level of Gusto 501 unfolds into a unique experience. Whatever you're craving, there's always a seat at the table for you - our famiglia.

    Loved being on the mezzanine. A little less busy than the ground floor. Hannah was a wonderful server. She made our time very pleasant and fun.

    Always love it. Great as always. I suggest leading with telling your customers how you’re on the “buy Canada” solidarity bandwagon and that everything in the restaurant is as cdn as you could manage. I didn’t hear that tonight. One waiter said you’re running down the US booze supply over the next few weeks, which I don’t think is good enough to meet the moment and threat. I’d suggest all US booze gone now and every effort to source Cdn ingredients.

    Very cute spot, aesthetically speaking! We did the Gusto experience and it was disappointing, edible but very mediocre. We added the tiramisu hoping it would save the day, and we barely touched it. Our server was nice.
