Gustatio
 

Gustatio, a Latin word for the first course of a meal, is an Italian restaurant in the center of Groningen opened in late 2014. 

The owners are a family from Rome with a long experience in tourism and catering.

All of our pasta dishes, are prepared with  homemade fresh pasta, with gluten-free options.
