Gusto Green, part of Janet Zuccarini’s renowned Gusto 54 restaurant group, blends family heritage, innovation, and sustainable design. Rooted in beauty, taste, and community, the restaurant embodies a forward-thinking ethos that celebrates food and design while honoring the past.
Located in Los Angeles’ Green Street Building, a cannabis hub downtown, the 6,000 SF space is anchored by a greenhouse-inspired structure. Its interiors balance light and dark through a mix of polycarbonate botanical accents, terrazzo floors, and blackened oakwood tables. Thoughtful elements, such as an open kitchen, a marble-topped bar, and a rammed earth-inspired plaster wall in the private dining room, highlight a design that seamlessly connects nature with modern dining.
