Il Gusto Spirits Ltd

Expanding Member

– Joined 2018

Founded in 2000 by entrepreneur Richard Mosconi, Il Gusto, has developed into a market leading specialty retailer, selling an array of quality oils, balsamic vinegars, liqueurs, exclusive spirits and gifts. The Il Gusto concept provides a direct link from quality producer to consumer and notably sells most produce direct from the barrel. IL gusto has stores nationwide with three UK based company-owned Il Gusto stores and five franchisee owned stores, which collectively have been in operation for over 15 years.

Il Gusto is now continuing its expansion domestically and internationally via master licenses worldwide. Following its first successful test in Centro Oberhausen, Germany, Il Gusto has now signed a master franchise in the Middle East with the Grand Opening of our Flag Ship location in Doha, Qatar April 2020. Projects for 2022 will see 10 more outlets to be opened in the UK and two additional master in Europe. Il Gusto understand that the concept has to have the right location, so we have researched and secured prime locations across the UK for franchisees to select from with a ‘ready-to-go’ business model.
