 l Gusto might seem like one of the least promising restaurants on the College strip. Smacked on the corner attached to a nondescript block, it is basically an informal Italian restaurant disguised as a French Bistro. With Neo-Palladian windows, raw wooden tables and a minimal bistro décor, luckily, it’s on a bright corner.

Like Café Margaux before it, it is still a small space, just 50 seats inside and an extra 50 more on the patio. However, there’s something so personal and passionate about this effort, you really can’t help but be charmed.
The strange but fragrant dishes everybody seems to adore bear little resemblance to the food listed in the menu. Il Gusto’s food tends to be elegant, almost ladylike, with all the sort of seasonality you might expect from a rural joint located a few hundred yards from the best market in Southern Italy, and careful, restrained presentations.

One word: Pathetic.
We went on a sunday for brunch,they weren´t even busy. The waitress couldn´t get I wanted a side of salad instead of fries.
After 20 minutes of me and boyfriend explaining her, she brougth me a whole salad!! We explained I only needed a side for my (mediocre) omelete, she never bring it to the table. The rest of the staff wasn´t helpful or nice neither. Worse service ever, I was just upset.

My girl friend and I walk in spontaneously and ordered some food. My girl friend ordered a Pasta dish and I ordered a steak. Our food took about 30 minutes to get ready and I have to say I was not impressed at all. The lack of flavor and their poor service was not a great experience. Save your money and try other great restaurants in little Italy.
