If the weather is permitting, try and get an outdoor seat and enjoy fantastic views of the nearby Anglican Cathedral."
"Time Out says: “Its menu offers the likes of fresh stonebaked pizzas, mezze-style grazing dishes and sharing boards that are so good you won’t actually want to share. “Try to save room for dessert – their ice cream sundaes (including vegan options) are gloriously extravagant.”. 7 Falkner St, Liverpool L8 7PU"
"Situated on the stunning Royal Albert Dock, GUSTO is inspired by the elegant charm of a classic Italian ristorante with a contemporary buzz and a modern, stylish interior. Seating up to 40 guests, GUSTO prides itself on the basic philosophy of provenance. This means sourcing responsibly, seeking out suppliers who use traditional, sustainable and natural methods of husbandry to provide the best and freshest produce available."
"At Gusto, the motto is 'Con Amici', which means 'eating with friends' – so you can bet they are one of the best family friendly restaurants in Liverpool. They're a cute little Italian restaurant sitting in the Albert Dock and overlooking the Tate Gallery, with a menu packed with pasta, pizza and many other Italian favourites perfect for fussy eaters and budding-connoisseurs alike."
"Anyone who has cast a casual glance at the dishes available here can't have failed to notice the Nutella and mascarpone calzone. Those in the know at Gusto will tell you that no matter how much customers eat for their first courses, they always find a way to leave room for one of these."
"If, like a lot of people, your appreciation for Liverpool began with The Beatles, where better to express your love than at The Cavern Club?. Situated on Liverpool’s famous Matthew Street, The Cavern Club is a great place to declare your love for your partner if they’re a music fan. With music playing most days in the venue, why not choose a quieter time of day to drop to one knee?"
"The Cavern Club is infamous in the music scene as the home of The Beatles during their early years. The Cavern Club originally opened in 1957 as a jazz club and quickly became the hub of rock and roll during the 1960s. John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison each played here with other bands before forming The Beatles."
"You can't come to Liverpool without heading to Mathew Street to see the famous Cavern Club. Either stand in front of the legendary sign to grab your picture or head down into the basement to recreate the swinging 60s. View this post on Instagram"
