✨ Terracotta & Tinsel
A Holiday Celebration at Gusto 501
On November 27th, Gusto 501 transforms into a three-level winter celebration of Italian food, wine, and festive spirit. Each floor will offer a distinct experience, from winter cocktails and canapés to a chef-led dinner and fireside s’mores on our newly unveiled Mountain Vista Lounge, a rooftop patio pop-up.
An immersive evening of food, wine, whiskey, and connection, Tinsel & Terracotta brings together Toronto’s neighbours, tastemakers, and friends for a holiday kick-off filled with warmth, generosity, and style. Whether you’re joining for cocktails or staying for dinner, celebrate the season.
