Gusto Da Gianni

There’s not much this homely but classy Italian venue at Portside Wharf can’t do. With views looking over the Brisbane River from its Hercules Street spot in Hamilton, its location already makes it a winner for an evening cocktail or glass of wine whatever comes next. But what comes next is enough to make Gusto Da Giani a winner wherever it is, with a slew of fantastic Italian food that is refined but grounded in family-style Italian eating. From beef carpaccio or zucchini flowers to start, through an encyclopedia of gourmet pizzas and pastas, onto spectacular seafood and meat mains (the rolled pork belly stuffed with pistachios and grilled salmon with saffron sauce are just two highlights) and decadent desserts, this elegant Brisbane eatery has something to delight all tastebuds and any group size (they have room for hundreds as a function venue, too). To make sure you and your family or group don’t miss out, it’s wise to make reserve bookings because Gusto Da Giani gets busy!
