Bon Gusto Restaurant is a friendly Italian dining room at 75–77 Buckingham Gate in Westminster. A few minutes from St James’s Park station and Buckingham Palace, it offers a relaxed option for lunch after sightseeing as well as an unhurried evening meal.
The restaurant focuses on honest Italian cooking and a warm family atmosphere. Antipasti include bruschetta, cured meats, burrata and seafood, while the pizza selection moves from a simple margherita to combinations based on spicy salami, mushrooms, Parma ham or shellfish.
Pasta and risotto form a substantial part of the menu, covering classics such as carbonara and lasagne alongside fresh clams, prawns and other seafood. Chicken, veal, steak, salmon and whole sea bass give diners alternatives to pasta and pizza, with salads and vegetables available for the table.
Tiramisu, panna cotta, chocolate mousse and Italian cheese provide a traditional finish, supported by coffee, dessert wine and digestifs. Table booking and long daily service make Bon Gusto useful for nearby workers, local residents and visitors who want a complete Italian meal close to Westminster’s landmarks.
