For the mains, the process was a slow one, which is fine with something like the veal scaloppine ($15.95), but is less successful with a butter-baked salmon ($15.95) as it leaves the fillet soft and rubbery. A good bet is the marinated rosemary lamb chops and the scaloppine served with herbed mushrooms and green onions, does a bit more justice.

If you liked Café Margaux, you’ll like Il Gusto. With good, low-key service, and a short, but intelligent wine list, the neighbourhood, I'm quite sure, is going to be very pleased to meet Il Gusto. - B.J.
