Gusto Oxford, Private Dining Room - The Mitre Room

The food and service were excellent. We started with the Rosemary and sea salt pizza bread and marinated olives. Then my spouse had the Crab fettuccini and I had the Bucatini al aglio. For desert we had the Sticky Toffee pudding. It was our first dinner in England and it did not disappoint.

Words completely fail, this has to be one of the bestest ever restaurants we’ve been in to! We came here for my mum’s birthday and had the La Carte Menu, the food and drinks were delish plus all the staff and service was superb! The recommended dishes… Crispy Lemon & Pepper Calamari, Wild Mushrooms, Gusto Dough Petals, Three Meat Ragu Lasagne, Ragu Pappardelle, Caponata and Mixed Salad. The final touch was when they brought out the birthday surprise, a chocolate mousse with edible petals, strawberries and Blackberries with a birthday candle on! Would absolutely most definitely come back again and would love again to say thank you to all the staff who were serving on the evening of 29th Oct 2025

We came to Oxford for a day trip and decided to have dinner here before heading back to London. The place had great reviews, so we came with high expectations. Unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing. Most dishes weren’t hot when served, the Crab Linguine had barely any crab, the Aubergine Steak was undercooked, and the Swordfish was dry. The pizza bread also lacked rosemary flavour. The only nice part was the friendly and welcoming staff. Sadly, I don’t think the food quality matches the high ratings.
