An amazing dining experience with incredible views!
We had dinner by the bay — dining right beside the water with such a beautiful outlook truly elevates the whole experience.
For food, we ordered the seafood platter (perfect for two to share) and the fish of the day, which happened to be snapper. The snapper was nicely cooked and enjoyable, though it didn’t quite stand out as a showstopper. The seafood platter, however, was the highlight. While fresh oysters aren’t quite to my taste, the mussels, calamari, and prawns were absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared.
The tomato-rich mussel sauce was especially impressive, and the bread and pita were perfect for soaking up every last bit.

Definitely worth the 5 stars!
We visited Gusto Restaurant in November 2025 whilst in Taranaki for the Garden Festival. It is located at the Port of Taranaki so there are beautiful Harbour views and stunning sunsets from most tables.
The staff were very friendly and happy to take photos for us which was really appreciated.
Our meals were outstanding! Packed with so much flavour and it was difficult to make a decision. We both chose the pork belly for the main meal. Yummy!!
My dessert was Sticky Date Pudding and my friend had the Creme Brulee. Neither of us could fault anything.
This is a Restaurant that I would love to return to if visiting New Plymouth again. Highly recommended for top service and excellent food.

We had an amazing experience at Gusto! We ordered the Seafood Linguine and the Fish of the Day, and both were spectacular—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. We finished with a dessert that was absolutely delicious. The food quality, the presentation, and the beautiful views made it a perfect meal. Highly recommended if you are in New Plymouth!

On arrival there was confusion regarding our booking – we had booked for 4 however they tried to place us at a table for 2. Not sure where the other 2 guests were going to sit? The lady behind the coffee machine was particularly pleasant- the other staff very much less so. It’s been over 30 minutes now and we still don’t have our coffees – the venue was relatively empty when we arrived. Our food came out quickly however eating without drinks was bizarre. I’ll upload photos of breakfasts – I’d up load ones of our drinks but we are still waiting so I guess I can’t ♀️

A truly lovely lunch at Gusto’s
Dec 2025 • Couples
We’re visiting from Australia and spending time family that live here, and chose Gusto for a lunch date it was absolutely perfect.
We had the open sandwich with grilled chicken breast on toasted garlic ciabatta, topped with caramelised balsamic onion relish, camembert and hollandaise, served with a fresh Gusto salad and crunchy kumara thins and it was absolutely delicious. The flavours were beautifully balanced, generous in portion, and presented so well.
We also enjoyed the salad of the day, which was fresh, light and perfectly complemented the richness of the open sandwich.
To drink, we had a Veuve Du Vernay Brut and cider on tap both were perfectly chilled and a great pairing for a relaxed lunch.
Everything from the food to the atmosphere and service felt thoughtful and welcoming. A wonderful spot for a relaxed lunch date we’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town. Highly recommend.

We had a table looking out over the sea, and even on this misty evening, it was lovely. Spacious surroundings and super friendly staff. The pan seared fish was delicious as was the mocktail.

Great experience all round. Service was perfect. They happily cater to keto diet. Food was delicious and nicely cooked. Nice sunset view of the ocean. There was noisy table of guests behind us which is not a problem but acoustics seemed to concentrate noise. However it didn’t really spoil a wonderful evening out.
