An Italian restaurant in Abergavenny is celebrating their success at the annual Italian Awards in London.

The family-run restaurant, Il Gusto, was shortlisted alongside others from Wales in the category for Best Italian in Wales at the prestigious ceremony.

“We are beyond grateful for every single person who joined us, supported us and continues to believe in what we do,” the team said following the awards.

“Your loyalty and encouragement mean everything to us, you truly give us the motivation to keep striving for excellence.”

“A heartfelt thank you to our incredible team for their passion, hard work and dedication.”

Just down the road, Monmouth’s Rustica scooped up the overall award for the category, proving the quality of Italian cuisine available in Monmouthshire.
