Amaro Restaurant located at 173 Hutt Street is simply delightful. An Italian restaurant whose cuisine is based upon presenting a contemporary twist on classic Italian food. I personally enjoyed the "Pappardelle al ragu d'agnello e pepperoni" which is a tender duck sauce slowly cooked to produce this succulent and ever so wonderful taste. However sitting in the restaurant watching all those different dishes make their way through from the kitchen to the dining area made me feel nostalgic. As if those plates were miniature time capsules and I wasn't in Hutt street but I was actually back in Italy soaking in the culture and beautiful food.
In terms of wine selection and flavour Ursula the boss and head chef has an extensive range of different and wonderful Italian and local south Australian wines to satisfy anyone's taste.
Amaro Restaurant is one of the most interestingly delicious Italian restaurants I have ever been to for a long time.
Go in and visit the lovely staff and treat yourself!
Great Restaurant but i am wondering why there is only 4 negative reviews out of 35 so i am wondering how this judgment scale actually works ???
Fantastic food , adventurous I had wild boar handmade ravioli just so delicious, coupled with lovely genuine service. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you Amaro, see you again soon.
Authentic modern cuisine from Rome. I've been trying the highest rated Italian restaurants around Australia, this was the best I have tasted. The sauces are a totally different level--- complex and rich flavours but not overpowering. The whole place has a commitment to excellence in food and service. I've had the squid ink gnocci (wow), almond panacotta, arancini balls, bottaga/cockle pasta, pork belly with fennel sauce--- all sublime.
Took my fiancé last Saturday night,
All though under staffed and very busy absolute amazing staff!!
The food was amazing and not to long of a wait all though understaffed at the time.
I have also booked the venue to hold a work conference there and the staff have been extremely helpful with organising this with me I cannot wait to hold my conference there.
Perfect venue amazing staff fantastic food !!!
This restaurant is outstanding. The setting is very warm and cosy. Along with its homely feel is gentle lighting, with immaculately clean and lovely decor. The food is of the highest standard and quality I have ever had the pleasure of tasting and I dine out a lot. So fresh, so authentic and simply delicious. The service by the very knowledgeable lady that owns the restaurant along with her care and genuine passion is nothing short of first rate. Sadly this kind of attention to detail is lacking in many restaurants.

Loving Gusto on Hutt. Amazing food.
Amazing service.
Amazing place.
Absolutely love eating here for dinner.
For great authentic Italian cuisine you have to get to Gusto on Hutt !!!
My favorite after the mouthwatering antipasto is the Quail.....
They do a mean steak always cooked to your liking every time too !!!!
The service always with smile, with great knowledge and passion for both the menu and wines.
So excited about the new menu!
Great selection of pasta and I had a tuna (variazione di tonno) which was sensational
Lovely - we will be back!. Went here despite some of the bad reviews. Loved loved LOVED the food- the buffalo mozzarella entree (best I have ever had), Spaghetti Vongole , Ravioli Gorgonzola and Tiramisu. Great food- pasta is proper Italian aldente (might be a bit tough for those not used to it). Wished we got some bread to sop up some of the sauce!!
We found the service delightful. Very unobtrusive but still attentive. Although very busy- we at no time felt rushed or that we needed to finish. Perfect for a romantic night or catching up with friends over a leisurely dinner. We definitely be back!
The best Italian food and service I have had in a long time. The owner was passionate and knowledgable about her food and wine. Coupled with wonderful company I will always remember the evening I spent here. Thank you!!!
Absolutely Fabulous. My wife and I live quite close to Gusto on Hutt in town, and have been there now about 5 times in the last couple of months - and that's because we just love the food and service, and it's quite smallish and not noisy like many places.
On each occasion we've found the food and service to be very good, and have tried several dishes now, including the squid, veal, pizza, calzone, arancini, pork, and my wife thinks the chicken salad is the best she's ever had!
The story about their phone being disconnected was unfortunate but now sorted. When explained to us it was clear that they were just not aware and I can see why some people got annoyed, but to an extent it wasn't their fault. I say give them a go!
This is our new favourite in town.
And their wine decanters are fantastic too!!

Our first visit to Gusto on Hutt. We tried the rabbit ragu pasta and seafood pasta both were sooooo very good!! Very friendly service and a great way to spend a beautiful evening.
Faultless, delicious, we will be back!. A faultless evening began with delicious wine & Antipasto Di Gusto; the antipasto was absolutely divine! The quality of the produce was obvious and left me excited to see what was to come next!
Our mains were again brilliant, easily the best pasta we have ever had, all the seafood was cooked to perfection and the flavour was second to none!
Of course!! the best was saved to last... my desert was so beautiful to look at I couldn't imagine that it could possibly taste better than it looked... but it did!
The whipped ricotta with cinnamon & candied pear was soooooo good!!
Until I tried my husbands Tiramisu, seriously - IT WAS PERFECTION!
Thank you so much to all the attentive and knowledgable staff that guided our way through Tuscan and made our (long overdue) date night sensational
Finally a restaurant with amazing atmosphere, service and food..
I have tried a few dishes and have fallen in love with them all.. The staff here is so welcoming and really great at matching their Italian wines with any course... even a special dessert wine we enjoyed with the best Tira Mi Su... We had my friends birthday dinner there too. It was a busy night yet we were totally looked after, bringing an amazing b day cake out as the whole restaurant began singing "happy birthday" it was incredible. WE Love this place!
Had the most wonderful dinner at Gusto with two girlfriends. I ordered the mushroom risotto, which was absolutely delicious! My friends had the fusilli ragu and the ravioli alla gorgonzola! We were all extremely happy with our meals, they were full of flavour and presented beautifully. We couldn't say no to a taste of one of their desserts and were also not disappointed! We had a wonderful evening and we look forward to dining here again soon.
My partner and I went on the weekend and we cannot speak highly enough of it.
The quality of food and customer service and attention to detail is second to none. Well done.
Love the new kid on the block fresh tasty & value great formula keep it up guys been sharing it with everybody I know well done
Definitely one of the authentic Italian restaurants! I'm a bit of a foodie myself so I appreciate some genuine Italian food, Ordered the Linguine Mar, it was fantastic! And the imported Italian wines were superb. Staff were unbelievably helpful and willing to please! A++
Some colleagues & I recently had lunch at Amaros Ristorante on Hutt St, I had never been there before and I will tell you right now I definitely will be going back. Everything about this restaurant was top notch, from the coffee & bread, right through to my beautiful main (angus steak) and the sciroppo dessert. A big thanks to the staff, I will be returning with the wife soon.
