Menu was the same as last time...nothing interesting - no sign of any chicken on the menu cooked in a spicy sauce or something exciting which was what we both fancied - I ended up opting for the pizza but found the toppings to be too small - first time I've had a pizza without a tomato base - maybe i picked a wierd one though...the bill wasn't cheap but the food was average. - it will be Viva Cuba Kirstall next time which we find is good valaue for money with lots of choice.

I recently visited Gusto in Cookridge with a few friends and was very impressed. A warm welcome, friendly, competent staff and a great atmosphere. We sat under the olive tree in the centre of the restaurant and were able to watch the pizza chef at work. Our pizzas and steaks were delicious, as were the cocktails we ordered from the bar. We all had a very enjoyable evening and have been recommending Gusto to our friends ever since!

Came her in a party of eleven, which might explain why the service was as slow as it was - it took half an hour to get seated (with a reservation) and each course took a very long time. That said, the food was well worth the wait. My caprese salad and pancetta-wrapped partridge on blue cheese risotto were delicious, while my friends raved about the fish dishes and one stated the pizza was as good as those she had had in Italy. Will be returning, but in a smaller group!

We went to this restaurant for valentine's day and we were not disappointed. The decor is gorgeous, staff are so friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. We sat downstairs which is dominated by a beautiful tree covered in fairy lights. There is an outside eating area which i imagine is lovely in summer, we certainly plan to return! Along with the main menu there is also a healthy eating option which notes the calorie value, fat content etc - for us ladies it makes a nice change to be able to eat out but know you are still eating sensibly! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially for a special occasion.

Went to the newly refurbished Est Est Est which is now called Gusto. Still owned by the same company so the excellent service was still very apparent. Food was excellent, still very Italian themed with just a wider selection on seafood and steak dishes. Highly recommend the Salt baked seabass which is amazing to watch them prepare for you and the calzone with chocolate and mascarpone! Still children friendly too which is great for my 2 year old so I can take him in there to make his own pizza. Will definitely be back!

We used to come to Est Est Est about 7 years ago when we lived down the road and it was always good. Having now moved back to the area we went back yesterday. I was expecting something that was ok but expensive. We didn't choose the most expensive options: pizza and salad for me, asparagus salad for partner,wines and juices, olives, make your own pizzas for the kids, ice creams for them, coffees and liqueurs for us but the bill was about £10/£15 less than I'd have expected. The pizza was lovely, mainly because the dough was perfectly cooked, and the salad fresh, crisp and well dressed. Definitely worth returning.

Est Est Est

The quality of the food is excellent, but the price and the quantity is appalling. You dont even get the vegetables included in the price! It spoils what could be a perfect restaurant.

Est Est Est

This has to be the only italian restaurant that actually tastes italian. The foood is delicious, with a wide variety of homemade italian meals for example why not try their incredible mussles starter in a tangy tomato sauce, then continue with an all sea-food pasta dish that is to die for. And finish off with a fantastic italian concoction of different ice-cream flavours blended into one decorated dish that aslovely as the food its-self.
