Product Information

We add selected ingredients to 100% Italian tomatoes, such as Datterini tomatoes and DOP Genoese Basil. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published. We even did an all dayer once, starting with morning coffee then lunch, then wine, then cake then dinner and were the last to leave that evening (we’d wisely allowed the next day for recovery). I had no idea who he was until after he’d eaten for, in true Marina O’Loughlin style, Martin reviews incognito. Then, a food reviewer from the local rag came in and within a week of his review the footfall had trebled and it’s never stopped.

We hadn’t seen waiter Michael Pilarski for a time and assumed he’d moved on but he walked out of the kitchen in chef’s whites. Whether you are in the mood for a hearty bowl of spaghetti bolognese or a mouthwatering margherita pizza, you can expect nothing but the best from our kitchen. Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.In no time we were seated with not just a coffee but a glass of wine and a portion each of the best lasagne ever! The menu had a great choice of food, we tried the Frito misto starter which was delicious, we had a lamb main course and a Raghu di mare pasta dish. Focaccia as a shared starter was excellent and the slow cooked shin of beef pasta was seriously good.

A comment from Ester later in the evening as we sipped coffee really brought everything full circle and was very touching I thought. Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. I was scared about moving countries (especially because I spoke very little English), but Saverio was so enthusiastic about the whole idea.From classic pasta dishes to delectable pizzas, our menu is carefully designed to offer an unrivaled culinary experience that showcases the best of Italian cuisine. Our restaurant is situated along the High Street in Deritend, which makes it a convenient spot for you to enjoy a meal with family and friends. It was obvious the absolute best ingredients were being used all the time, the preparation was second to none, the flavours out of this world. Half way through the meal the waiter came to the table and apologised, saying he had made a mistake. Overall, Il vero gusto Italiano ltd is an outstanding restaurant that offers an authentic taste of Italy in the heart of Birmingham.

Service is attentive, without being obtrusive and the ambiance is perfect to enjoy the best food in a relaxing atmosphere. for lunch and yes, that is pricy, as TripAdvisor reviewers, say but it is a trip to Italy for an hour or two without the cost of the air fare. Some years earlier, I’d had a little correspondence with Martin Dawes, then the much loved and respected food critic for the Sheffield Star newspaper.Myself and Lemmy; our regular dining partners Martin and Sue Dawes and Bruno Saverio and Ester Celva owners of said Vero Gusto. Originally Ester and her partner Bruno Saverio were just going to do Saturdays but she changed her mind at the last minute. If you know and love food and produce, even a little bit, then you just know when it is made with love and care and passion.
