Modern Italian at The Grand Hotel
Gusto Italian occupies a prominent spot at The Grand Hotel on Colmore Row, in the heart of Birmingham’s city centre. The visually striking interior blends modern decor with intimate lighting, bare-brick walls and elegant olive-tree styling for a warm, welcoming atmosphere — with a clear emphasis on quality evident from the moment you walk in.
What to order
The menu showcases Italian cooking with a contemporary touch. Signature dishes include the pan-seared scallops and a much-praised cauliflower steak, alongside standout plates like fresh, generous lasagna, sea bass and a rich prawn and saffron risotto. Pair it with a signature cocktail — the limoncello spritz is a favourite — and look out for the seasonal menus and bottomless brunch.
Who it’s for
This is a good choice for brunch, a relaxed dinner or a special occasion in a smart, central setting. Attentive, knowledgeable staff and a stylish room make it well suited to both couples and groups.
