    Gusto 501 offers a chill vibe with dim lighting and a great music playlist that sets the mood perfectly. Our waitress was attentive and quick, making the dining experience seamless. The food was incredible—some of the best pizza I’ve ever had! The Carbonara and Margherita pizzas were outstanding, and the mushroom pasta was a table favorite. The espresso martini was spot-on, and desserts like the tiramisu and torta di mandorla were the perfect sweet finish. Highly recommend!

    Wonderful experience. We had the chefs tasting menu and everything was outstanding. Service was top notch and the cocktails were delicious. I had my 7 week old with me and a member of the Richmond Station team approached me on my way to the washroom to ask if I needed a place to change her. So very kind. We look forward to returning!

    I ate here with my 8yo son and my mom for a special occasion dinner and WOW did we feel special. Our waiter was so gracious and helped make our experience unique. Loved our food choices: incredibly fresh and varied oysters from across the country; incredible appetizers (try the okra! You’ll be amazed!); rich and flavourful seafood pasta; and a beautifully seared Arctic char. We even had a visit by some of the kitchen staff. Thank you Pure Spirits for making our special day even more special.
