Bar Gusto - Ottawa

This restaurant is fantastic. The service is outstanding, the atmosphere is pleasant, and the food is creative and high-quality.

Return visit. I was not disappointed at all! The food was just as delicious as I remembered, and the cocktails were still top-notch. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was excellent. I will definitely be coming back again soon. Highly recommend this place for a great dining experience!

We decided to have lunch here and our experience was very pleasant.

Sunday night and it's Italian food on the patio at Bar Gusto. What a wonderful evening the streets were full with new college students dressed in different costume. From ninja turtles drag queens and masked Mardi Gras outfits. We were witness to the fun and comedy of the initiation of these guys. The goal to approach women to either get a bra, kiss or phone number. Some women at our restaurant were great sports and one gave her number stating that her bra was too expensive to donate. We started off with crispy calamari served with Greek yogurt/honey and lemon. So fresh and delectable it was immediately gobbled up. Next was a Gorgonzola pizza which had layers of flavours of different cheeses olives and arugula that unfolded as it seemed to melt in your mouth. We followed this with one of the best spaghetti marinara's and how I eat the whole thing is a testimony to how amazing it was. We also enjoyed a great bottle of wine which was affordably priced. If you are in the mood for Italian this is the place with its relaxed and very friendly atmosphere. The unique plates with wonderful patterns gives a personal touch and the ambience with flickering candlelight combined with the perfect mix of music and great friendly service just sets the mood for your visit. Will I return with my family and/or friends absolutely

We went to Bar Gusto on a really hot summer day. We were welcomed to the Lovely Campari Terrace and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon/evening sipping away on Aperol Spritz and Cocktails.
