What is happening at Gusto Urban Italian for Restaurant Week?
Italian lunch is getting a Restaurant Week makeover at Gusto Urban Italian in Century City, Cape Town, where diners can enjoy an Italian 2-Course Lunch Experience for R245 per person.
Restaurant Week South Africa runs from 25 September to 1 November 2026, bringing exclusive menus to more than 200 restaurants around the country.
- National pricing starts from R195 for two-course lunches and R295 for three-course dinners, while each restaurant sets its own menu price. At Gusto Urban Italian, the two-course lunch experience is R245. Bookings can be made through https://restaurantweek.co.za, with VIP bookings opening from 14 September 2026.
Available for lunch only, the Gusto Urban Italian Restaurant Week menu keeps things pleasingly Italian, with guests choosing one Antipasto followed by one Primo.
For the first course, Zucchini Fritti Misto brings tempura-fried zucchini with fresh herb aioli, while Patagonian Calamari pairs grilled calamari tubes and heads with a truffle-lemon butter sauce.
The Primo selection turns up the comfort factor. Beef Scaloppine features sliced beef fillet with a creamy white wine and mushroom sauce, served with sautéed green vegetables. Chicken Parmesan combines a crispy golden-fried chicken fillet with slow-cooked pomodoro sauce, melted mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, accompanied by mashed potatoes.
For a pasta option, Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli comes with spinach and ricotta-filled pasta pockets, creamy pomodoro sauce, fresh herbs and Grana Padano.
The menu is suitable for vegetarians, with a gluten-free option available. Guests are asked to indicate their dietary preferences on the reservation form.
Gusto Urban Italian takes its name from the Italian word gù·sto, meaning flavour, taste, palate, zest or relish. The Century City restaurant combines Italian inspiration with contemporary urban influences, rather than sticking strictly to the traditional trattoria formula.
Its setting includes views over Ratanga Park and the canal, a wood-fired oven and an Italian-style piazza for al fresco dining. The restaurant also offers to-go and deli options, along with an extensive wine list featuring both local and Italian favourites. Book your table now!
