Breakfast Pasta at Gusto Urban Italian Is Breaking All the Rules (and it works!)

At Gusto Urban Italian, breakfast isn’t boxed into toast and coffee. It’s been rethought, reworked, and, in one standout case, turned into pasta.

The Breakfast Pasta (from R75) leads the charge.

Perfectly al dente pasta is topped with a silky poached egg and finished with a rich Pomodoro Hollandaise. Add salmon trout for a savoury edge or bacon for something more familiar. It’s unexpected, but it works. The kind of dish that makes a strong case for changing up the morning routine.

• That said, Gusto doesn’t abandon the classics. The Gusto Breakfast (R115) covers all the bases with fried eggs, bacon, beef sausage, sourdough, roasted tomatoes, and sautéed mushrooms. For something lighter, scrambled eggs (R75) come served on croissant, rye, or sourdough, with optional extras like bacon (R35) or salmon trout (R50).
• There’s also a well-rounded lineup for different moods. The Eggs Benedict (R125) leans indulgent with Parma ham and grapefruit hollandaise. The Italian Omelette (R115) brings bold flavour with pomodoro sauce, mozzarella, herbs, mushrooms, and pepperoni. And for something quick but satisfying, the Gusto Foldover (R75) wraps breakfast into pizza dough with eggs, bacon, mozzarella, and a red pepper aioli.
• Even the lighter options hold their own. The Gusto Muesli Mix (R95) is layered with yoghurt, fruit, nuts, and honey, while Avo on Rye keeps things simple, with the option to add a poached egg (R20).

Still, it’s the pasta that sets the tone. It’s playful, a little indulgent, and exactly the kind of dish that makes breakfast feel less routine and more like something worth sitting down for. Book your table for an incredible breakfast near Century City now.
