Local area

Il Gusto fits naturally into this setting — a proper neighbourhood restaurant rather than a destination venue, drawing a loyal local following who value quality and consistency. Within Richmond upon Thames, independently run Italian restaurants of this character are well regarded by residents who prefer somewhere personal and familiar over the anonymous.
