Opened in August 2021 in Uskumruköy, Gusina in the Hood is the brand’s first restaurant designed as a living space that evolves throughout the day. Surrounded by nature, the two-level venue features a winter garden and an espresso bar, offering a layered experience that shifts with time while redefining a sense of neighborhood familiarity through its warm and welcoming atmosphere.

At its core, Gusina’s kitchen is built around production bringing together American and Italian culinary influences. A 40-year-old sourdough starter, ingredients sourced from local producers, and a seasonal approach form the backbone of this philosophy.

Beyond dining, the space extends into a market and bakery, becoming part of everyday life where guests can both spend time and shop. The day begins with bakery offerings, moves into pizza throughout the day, and transitions into a more social atmosphere in the evening, accompanied by music-led moments.
