This Valentine’s Day, romance is on the menu at Gusto Urban Italian, where contemporary city style meets the soul of classic Italian cooking.
On 14 February 2026, the restaurant invites couples to swap the ordinary dinner date for a candlelit culinary escape inspired by the streets of Rome—no passport required.
For one night only, Gusto Urban Italian is serving a three-course Valentine’s Day set menu at R495 per person, designed to feel indulgent, relaxed, and unmistakably romantic.
- The evening begins with a welcome drink on arrival, setting the tone for an experience that’s equal parts flavour, atmosphere, and amore.
- The first course offers a tempting trio of antipasti choices. Diners can keep things fresh and elegant with Caprese Bruschetta, featuring creamy burrata and slow-roasted cherry tomatoes, or lean into bold local-meets-Italian flair with Biltong and Beef Carpaccio. Seafood lovers can opt for the Sicilian Prawn Salad, bright with fennel, rocket, and a raspberry vinaigrette.
- Mains are where the menu truly turns up the romance. Options include a rich Karoo Lamb Ragù Pappardelle, slow-cooked and deeply comforting, a luxurious Wild Mushroom and Truffle Risotto for plant-based diners, or a showstopping Spinach and Ricotta–filled Beef Fillet, served with creamy parmesan mash. Each dish is designed to be hearty, elegant, and perfect for lingering conversations across the table.
- Dessert is a sweet Italian finale. Couples can share spoonfuls of Amarula Tiramisu, savour a silky Dark Chocolate and Rooibos Panna Cotta, or go playful with a Pistachio Nut Gelato Cone—because romance should always leave room for dessert.
With its warm urban atmosphere and thoughtfully curated menu, Gusto Urban Italian turns Valentine’s Day into a mini Roman holiday—one filled with great food, good wine, and even better company. Bookings are essential for this once-off Valentine’s experience.
