The client

Founded by Jay Mehta (Kolkata KnightRiders co-owner), Arja Shridhar and Sam Malde, Gustoso is a full-blooded celebration of Italy; from the volcanic backdrop of Naples to the shores of Lake Como. Gustoso serves time-tested classics alongside modern Indo-Italian reinterpretations, in a stylish and spirited setting.

The challenge

To bring the drama, energy and elegance of Italy to Mumbai — without the cliché. Inspired by the upmarket destination’s bustling atmosphere and ever-changing menu, we created a flexible identity that fuses the fresh and the timeless. 

WithUs have been an absolute delight to work with. They were given a basic brief about the restaurant and yet came up with a fantastic design. Thorough, knowledgeable and full of innovative ideas.

The outcome

The relaunch of Gustoso (formerly known as Pizza Metro Pizza) reaffirmed the restaurant's status as one of the 'go-to' food destinations in Mumbai.
