This Christmas Day, skip the oven, ditch the stress, and say “Buon Natale!” with a glass of wine in one hand and a fork in the other at Gusto Urban Italian.
Their annual Christmas Lunch Buffet returns on 25 December 2025, and it’s everything your festive dreams are made of — hearty, indulgent, and bursting with Italian flair.
From 12:00 to 15:30, guests will be treated to a lavish spread of Mediterranean-inspired dishes and traditional holiday favourites, all served in Gusto’s signature modern Italian style.
- And at R695 per adult (half price for kids under 12), it’s a gourmet gift to yourself — with zero washing up required.
