Who We Are

Gusto 101, in Toronto’s thriving King Street West neighbourhood, is as busy today as the day it opened in 2012. With design firm Munge Leung, owner Janet Zuccarini transformed a former dilapidated auto repair garage into a cozy industrial enoteca.

In addition to serving up fresh authentic Italian dishes ... with some global twists, Gusto boasts several firsts that have made Toronto’s restaurant aficionados take notice: first restaurant in Toronto to sell wine-on-tap for $1 an ounce; first restaurant patio in the city to have an all-seasons retractable glass roof.
