Mangia, Mama! Gusto Urban Italian Serves Up Love on a Plate This Mother’s Day

Looking to earn some serious brownie points this Mother’s Day?

Forget the flowers and skip the scented candles—Gusto Urban Italian is dishing up amore by the forkful on Sunday, May 11th, from 12:00 to 15:00 with a special three-course feast that’ll make your mamma weep (with joy, obviously).

For just R399 per person, guests can indulge in a beautifully curated Italian set menu that celebrates the queens of the famiglia the only way Italians know how: with food, and lots of it.

  • Start off with your choice of Cozze al Vapore con Pinot Grigio—that’s mussels steamed in wine and pancetta, for the uninitiated—or a warm, comforting Orzo Minestrone Soup with toasted sourdough. One word: bellissimo.
  • The Primo course is where things get serious. Whether you go for the indulgent Exotic Mushroom Fillet Tagliata, the comforting Involtini di Pollo, or the vibrant Risotto alla Gamberi, you’re in for rich Italian flavors that’ll make your tastebuds dance the tarantella. Vegetarians, don’t fret—Ravioli di Butternut with sage cream sauce and pumpkin seeds is on the menu, and it’s anything but an afterthought.
  • Round it all off with something sweet (because how else do you say “I love you, Mom”?). Choose between Pera Poached al Marsala—poached pears with Italian vanilla cream and honeycomb—or Gelato al Doppio Cioccolato, a chocolate gelato topped with roasted pecan nut crumble.

Vegetarian options? Check. Gluten-free options? You bet. Family bonding over ridiculously good food? Guaranteed. Reservations are a must—this kind of Italian magic won’t stay a secret for long.

So this Mother’s Day, say ti amo with tagliata, toast with a spoonful of gelato, and treat your madre to the lunch she deserves at Gusto Urban Italian.
