Italian cuisine offered in an airy, strip-mall restaurant with local art & outdoor seating.
Gusto Osteria is a hearty blend of modern Italian cuisine with old familiar menu and recipes by Joe Scordato. The restaurant is tucked away in the Colonia Verde Plaza Shopping Center at the corner of Tanque Verde and Sabino Canyon. Gusto features a large remodeled dining room, bar and kitchen. However, the large suite also offers a cozy atmosphere with incredible one-of-a kind original artwork and a fantastic-nearly 1000 square foot-outdoor patio.
Come visit us on the East Side of Tucson for an unforgettable meal, a great glass of wine and a smile as you walk out the door. That’s Gusto’s!
