Reviews Summary
Gusto Trattoria is lauded for its delicious Italian cuisine, with many highlighting the fresh ingredients and expertly prepared dishes, especially the seafood pizza and pasta. The restaurant is particularly praised for its excellent vegan options, including superior vegan cheese.

The atmosphere can also be quite loud when the restaurant is full.
"Visited today for some lunch. Food was incredible! Very rare I finish a full meal but couldn't leave any of this! Shared a cheesy garlic bread to start which was amazing! I had the pasta in tomato and smoked bacon sauce (sorry I can't remember the proper name) and my uncle had the chicken salad. Isabella our server was very lovely as well! The music wasn't too loud just very peaceful and nice to relax and have lunch. Great value for money!"

"Simply superb. I literally stumbled across Gusto whilst walking the English Coast Path last Sunday. Despite it being Mothers day and without a reservation, the staff found me a seat.
The menu covers most tastes and the chef will add a bit of 'heat' if you'd like the dish spicing up.
I settled on the Conchiglie del Mare, a selection of fresh muscles and prawns in a creamy garlic and tomato sauce. The fresh ingredients and flavours brought out an authentic taste of the Italian coast - indeed I can say with confidence that it was better than most meals I've had in Italy!
Incredible food, flawless service and a great feel to the place."
