What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Gusto North is praised for its delicious wood-fired pizzas, especially the Fungo, and its upscale Italian atmosphere. While many enjoy the food and service, some reviewers note that the restaurant can be very loud, and pasta portions may be small for the price. Service can also be inconsistent during busy periods.
"Best pizza in the city!!!! The fungo pizza is the most delicious mushroom and goat cheese pizza I've ever had. Service is always pretty quick even on busy game days."
Kristina Siino
"So like this is kind of a margarita pizza - it’s certainly delicious but I’ve had this pizza in all over the world and this is the least amount of cheese and most crust I’ve ever seen on a marg. It was delicious but underwhelming for the price.
Staff was awesome, and super quick turn around"
Ashton Parsons
"The pasta was okay, the pizza was absolutely amazing and the reason why I rate it so highly. As a visitor, the area wasn't great and the atmosphere was very quite and chilled. However I enjoyed my dinner and would definitely return"

Hargrave St. Market focuses on chef-driven concepts and is home to some of the city’s best local operators including Bobby Mottola’s first-to-market Yard Burger, The Good Fight Taco, Rose Bar, and his second Pizzeria Gusto location (Gusto North). Also part of the tenant line-up are Saburo Kitchen (new concept for Yujiro Japanese and Gaijin Izayaka), Fools and Horses (third location), Miss Browns (second location) and Lake of the Woods Brewery (from Kenora, Ontario) which will also be brewing beer on site in addition to operating a retail store and taproom located on the first floor of the tower.
Winnipeg Guides | Tourism Winnipeg
Gusto North/Mottola Grocery (242 Hargrave St.) - Inspired by its OG location on Academy Road (which too has a lovely patio), Gusto North's menu features high-end Italian dishes right in the centre of the city at True North Square. The patio stretches over Hargrave Street, providing views of downtown Winnipeg to savour alongside chewy, charred-just-right pizzas, crunchy and creamy arancini, and luxurious pastas. Academy Hospitality also has a patio right on the ground floor of True North Square that services Mottola Grocery, often featuring fun bars slinging Italian staples like Aperol spritz.
