Summary
“This very decent Italian” is a “hidden gem just a stone’s throw from Victoria Station” – “improbably located in the culinary desert behind Westminster Cathedral” – with “ever-improving traditional dishes” made from “fresh ingredients” delivered by “friendly staff” in a “pleasing”, relatively modern setting.
Summary
“As the years have gone by”, this “enjoyable and efficient” Pimlico stalwart, “on a quiet street behind Westminster Cathedral”, has won a very loyal following thanks to its “family-style atmosphere, lovely service, and well-chosen wines”. Some reports say the food is a little “basic” or “variable”, but most accounts describe it as “authentic” and “affordable”.
Summary
“Continuing to enchant…” – this “wonderful Italian” is “a jolly place, really hidden away in Pimlico, but with a very local feel to it as it’s off-the-beaten-track”. Staff are “exceptionally friendly” and “the food is good and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg” (“after a hiccough in recent times, it’s had a definite return to form”). “And they adore kids… it’s very Italian”.
Summary
“A Pimlico treasure”; this newish Italian in the backstreets of Westminster has made a big impact on locals, who feel “pampered by exceptionally friendly staff”, who provide “sensibly priced”, “carefully prepared” traditional dishes; “take their advice on wine pairings”.

Gustoso Ristorante & Enoteca Restaurant Diner Reviews
"Though close to the hell that is Victoria station environs, Gustoso is tucked away on a quiet and unassuming side street. It's a soothing place with good straightforward food, interesting and good value wines often by the carafe, and helpful service. It feels Italian in an unstaged way."
