Local tips
- Book a table for Friday and Saturday evenings, as the dining room fills quickly and the kitchen stays busy late into the night.
- Come hungry and share two or more different sourdough pizzas at the table to sample both classic red and creamy white bases.
- Ask staff for a recommendation from the natural wine selection; there are often interesting by-the-glass options that pair well with richer toppings.
- If you prefer a quieter experience, aim for an early evening slot around opening time on weekdays, before the Latin Quarter gets lively.
- Mention any dietary needs, such as a preference for lighter toppings or particular ingredients, and the kitchen can often guide you to suitable choices.

Sourdough Craft in the Heart of Aarhus
Gusto sits on Borggade in Aarhus C, right in the characterful Latin Quarter where narrow streets, low façades and intimate storefronts invite wandering. Inside, the focus is on one thing done very well: sourdough pizza. The kitchen follows classic Neapolitan ideas of high heat, soft centre and blistered edges, but applies them to a dough that has been slowly fermented for deeper flavour and texture. The result is a crust that is light and chewy, with those dark, leopard-spotted bubbles that signal serious time and care. Rather than overloading the base, toppings are kept thoughtful and balanced, letting good flour, long proofing and a fiercely hot oven take centre stage.Honest Pizza with a Creative Streak
Gusto’s menu is compact but considered, moving from familiar combinations to more playful signatures. Tomato-based pizzas share space with white pizzas rich in cheese, herbs and oils, and there is usually room for truffle-inflected options or pesto-led creations alongside classics crowned with quality salumi. The kitchen leans on carefully selected ingredients, from creamy Italian cheeses to high-grade cured meats and seasonal vegetables. Portions are generous without being heavy, and the style suits both an unhurried multi-pizza feast to share and a simple one-pizza-and-a-glass-of-wine stop in the evening.Natural Wine, Craft Beer and Italian Soft Drinks
Beyond the oven, Gusto pays particular attention to what fills the glass. Natural wines sourced through specialist importers anchor the list, with orange, white and red styles that pair well with rich dough and savoury toppings. Craft beers, including notable Danish brews, offer an alternative route, from crisp lagers to more hop-forward choices. For those skipping alcohol, there are organic Sicilian soft drinks, low-alcohol beers and other non-alcoholic options that feel considered rather than afterthoughts. The overall impression is of a place that treats drinks as part of the dining experience, not just an add-on.Warm, Social Evenings on Borggade
Open primarily from late afternoon into the night, Gusto is designed around evening energy. The room is relaxed and unfussy, with close-set tables that lend a convivial, buzzy feel as conversations rise and fall. On weekend nights, the late opening hours blend dinner service into a more lingering, bar-like atmosphere where a final glass can stretch toward midnight. Lighting is soft, music low enough for conversation, and there is an easy rhythm between the hum of the dining room and the life outside on Borggade. It works as comfortably for a casual date as it does for a group of friends settling in for hours.A Neighborhood Favorite with Latin Quarter Charm
What gives Gusto much of its character is how rooted it feels in this part of Aarhus. Step outside and you are immediately among cobbles, independent boutiques and other small restaurants, making it an appealing anchor point for an evening in the Latin Quarter. Inside, the emphasis on honest pizza, friendly service and an unpretentious setting creates a welcoming stop whether you are a local dropping in midweek or a traveler looking for a reliably good Italian meal in the city centre. Combined with its late hours and strong drinks program, Gusto offers a slice of Italian-inspired warmth in one of Aarhus’ most atmospheric districts.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
