Review on Gusto Restaurant & Bar

Originally the Olive Press, owned by celebrity chef Paul Heathcote, the restaurant has been rebranded and is now called Gusto, part of the Living Venture burgeoning stable of restaurants. As you drive into Cheadle Hulme, it is hard to miss Gusto, with its imposing glass frontage and the decked front terrace ideal for drinks and dining when the weather is warm. The buzzy, family-friendly restaurant serves an all-day menu of classic and contemporary dishes featuring an excellent range of pizza, pasta, seafood and meats. The bustling open kitchen adds to the convivial ambience within, with stylish decor which blends modern and rustic accents for a relaxed, contemporary look.

The well priced wine list and the cocktail menu should keep the adults happy, while children get their own menus plus the option to create a pizza of their choice.
