Bar Gusto

Joining Fortitude Valley’s vibrant King Street precinct is Bar Gusto, a restaurant bar that brings the magic of Italian summertime to Brisbane. The menu boasts authentic flavours from chef Francesco Tucco’s hometown of Imperia, on the Italian Riviera—think crisp wood-fired pizzas, pastas (of course) and antipasti, paired with an extensive and expertly selected list of local and international wines—all to be enjoyed in their restuarant, or on their open-air, outdoor deck that wraps around a century-old, fairy-lit fig tree. 

If cocktails are your preference, the mixologists at Bar Gusto have got you covered. Try the Gusto Aperitivo, a refreshing blend of Campari, Regal Rogue wild rose, lime juice and grapefruit soda, or the Razzmatazz—a vodka, Chambord citrus and vanilla concoction that will transport you to a coastal town somewhere in Italy.
