   Gusto North is the second outpost of the beloved local favorite, Pizzeria Gusto, that brings the flavors and spirit of an Italian family dinner table to downtown Winnipeg. Drawing on inspiration from the original location on Academy Road, the Gusto team has meticulously crafted an original menu and welcoming space as Hargrave St. Market’s only full-service sit-down restaurant.
   Guests are invited to settle in and feel right at home in the heart of downtown, where the inviting atmosphere is matched by genuine hospitality. The menu celebrates timeless Italian cuisine, with standout favorites like golden, crispy arancini, indulgent carbonara, and signature margherita pizza—fresh from the wood-fired oven.
   Between the thoughtfully designed environment and the comforting, authentic flavors, Gusto North is nestled in the heart of downtown and is steps away from some of Winnipeg’s most prominent landmarks, including the Canada Life Centre and the RBC Convention Centre.
