Ristorante Caffe Gustami is an independent Italian restaurant at 4 King Edwards Road in Birmingham. The small, welcoming dining room places home cooking and friendly service ahead of formality, making it a relaxed choice close to the Jewellery Quarter.
Pasta is a particular focus, with handmade tortelloni, tagliatelle, spaghetti and gnocchi appearing in traditional sauces. Fillings and accompaniments include spinach and ricotta, beef ragù, mushrooms, meatballs and seasonal vegetables.
Pizza, focaccia and bread are also made in house, while risotto and antipasti broaden the selection. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices are available, so the menu can accommodate a useful range of diners without moving away from its Italian identity.
Italian wine accompanies the savoury dishes, and classic desserts such as tiramisu provide a fitting finish. The combination of fresh preparation, generous portions and a personal atmosphere gives Gustami the character of a neighbourhood restaurant rather than a large city centre chain.
Address: 4 King Edwards Road, Birmingham B1 2PZ, England
