| - I probably wouldn't return to Gusto 101, but that's simply because it doesn't suit my preferences re: atmosphere. Even by Toronto standards, the two-top tables are EXTREMELY close together, meaning you're always bumping in to the other parties, and it's so noisy you have to shout at the person sitting just across from you. That said, it's a perfectly fine restaurant and we enjoyed our meal. We're just old cranks who like a quieter place.
We ordered the mushroom bruschetta, the diavola pizza, and some of the house wine. The wine is $1/ounce, which is way cheaper than what most restaurants charge, so we both had a glass of the red. It was medium bodied, had some berry tones, and went well with our pizza. Our server kindly gave us samples of their house wines ahead of time, free of charge, and we both agreed that the white tasted like fizzy nothing. You only get three pieces of bruschetta for $14, and I wished they were a bit more seasoned, but the bread was crispy and the mushrooms were yummy. The pizza more than made up for most of the spot's failings: it had the perfect airy, thin crust, just the right amount of cheese, and great flavor from the sun dried tomatoes. One pizza was just enough for two of us.
Our server was also very kind and attentive. When we noticed that she'd accidentally charged us for an extra glass of wine, she apologized and offered to give us cash back right away, since we'd paid with a card.
