Con Gusto Restaurant



Con Gusto is a small, Italian restaurant on the Royal Arsenal Riverside.

Housed in the grade II listed former guardhouse, first built in 1815, we've kept the building's history in mind.  Whilst retaining the building's history, we've brought it back to life with a soft industrial dining area, rustic exposed brickwork and combined with an open kitchen so you can fully enjoy the delights of Con Gusto's cuisine and to watch the chefs while they work their magic.
​
We will be serving  coffee as well as showcasing our signature dishes as well as our eagerly anticipated wine menu featuring exclusively imported Italian fine wines.

 Gloriously set on the historical site of the Royal Arsenal, and set beside the Thames itself, it makes for the perfect setting to relax and enjoy this remarkable London location.

Opened by brothers Rigels and Bledi, they aim to bring a taste of Italy to the Royal Arsenal Riverside. You are welcome to dine or drink with us anytime!
