Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We were lucky to find a table, as it was a Saturday evening. We had a lukewarm welcome from a man behind the bar. He came back to get our drinks, when we couldn't remember he walked our dismissing us. We gave our order to...a young lady. My friend ordered lasagne and garlic bread, I had the octopus salad with roasted potatoes. The salad was divine, with crunchy veg. We both opted for the lemon sorbet, which was zingy and refreshing. We'd definitely go backMore

Extremely condescending staff with such poor attitude. Service was seriously bad, the manager was on his phone during the whole of the service. Food was good if you were prepared to wait an hour. Overall disgusting experience. Please dine elsewhere because the staff aren’t bothered...whether you do or not.More

One of the few places in Southport that offers a decent choice of plant based food. I especially like the atmosphere of the place , it is quite pleasant and extremely relaxing a really enjoyable experience.

The service was quick and welcoming. I had the cheese and mushroom pizza with added ham. My wife wanted risotto, preferably prawn risotto, but there was only ham and pea risotto on the menu. However the waitress said she would ask the chef if they...could make a prawn risotto. The answer was the chef could. We were both pleased with our meals.More

Not having been to Gusto for some years I can honestly say it will be a long time before I go again. Upon entering the venue I was completely ignored by the waitress who passed me on numerous occasions but eventually waved from behind the...bar to the table by the owner. The food was acceptable but having the table booked for 7.30pm my daughter and I were made to feel uncomfortable with the lights being turned off at 9pm except for where we were sat.More

Great food, terrible treatment from the OWNER of the restaurant. I took my sister for a dinner and there was a birthday party going on. The party was very loud and was bothering everyone else in the restaurant. I kindly asked the owner if he...can go and ask them to lower their volume. He told me to go AND TELL THEM MYSELF and turned his back to me. How incredibly rude is that?! There were other customers covering their ears because the party was so loud. I can’t believe that the owner didn’t do anything about it. And he even had the audacity to have such a horrible attitude. If that’s how he treat his CLIENTS, I can’t even imagine how he treats his staff.More

We were staying in Southport while attending the British Open. Thank heavens we found Gustos! It was the best food and dining experience that we had on our trip. We stayed in Southport for 5 nights and ate at this restaurant every night. It was...amazing. The owner was on site and welcomed us every night. True Italian cuisine! Very reasonable prices. Fresh seafood prepared with incredible skill and beautiful presentation. As I write this I wish I were back there! Highly recommended.More

Visited Gusto after being in town for a music festival with 2 friends. We were seated and ordered drinks, after a short look at the menu,ordered garlic bread to start. Beautiful tasty bread. Main meals were fabulous. Me and my wife had lasagne, absolutely superb...and our friends had seafood dishes which they said were excellent too. We had a couple of drinks and also dessert. My panna cotte was lovely, as was the tiramaso. Lovely, friendly staff, and a great experience. We will return. Thanks.More
