Gusto 101

Gusto 101 is a vibrant Italian restaurant and rooftop bar located at 101 Portland Street in Toronto's King West neighbourhood, serving modern takes on Southern Italian cuisine since 2012. The venue features both a street-level terrace and a rooftop patio that fills quickly with guests craving authentic Italian fare in an alfresco setting, warmed by the glow of the wood-fired grill. The menu is anchored by fresh pasta, crafted pizzas, and seasonal Italian dishes, paired with an impressive selection of Italian wines — including Gusto's own house wine available on tap for exceptional value — and refreshing cocktails such as the pear-flavoured Pocca. The atmosphere is casual, convivial, and design-forward, making Gusto 101 an ideal spot for weekend brunch, a leisurely lunch, or a relaxed dinner in one of Toronto's most energetic neighbourhoods.
