Gusto - San Carlos

I tried Gusto for the first time and was very impressed. Food was cooked for perfection, presentation was nice and the service was excellent. My wife had the scallops and I had a steak. The scallops were served with a pig bell. I have to say it looked a little strange, but the combination was fantastic. My steak was seldom, on the rare side and with baby greens.

My wife and two friends ate on Tuesday night, 25. March 2014 in Gusto. It's good that we had a reservation because the place was packed. Even the large private space in the back had a group there that observed a presentation of a kind. For all customers inside I wondered if we would see less than a reasonable service. As it turned out, the service was fantastic, as well as all our decisions. We started to share George's tuna tars, which was very fresh and quite delicious. For my first course I had the lively pea soup, so fresh I swore that they just picked the peas from a local garden. For my main course I had the beef tenderloin with barolo butter, baby carrots and fingering potatoes. Perfectly grilled steak accompanied by expertly cooked vegetables! Since we were not familiar with Italian wines, we asked our server for a proposal for a wine that would be big and somewhat fruity. He came back with a Cirulli 1861 merit, mainly made from Cabernet-Franc. It was a perfect compliment for the beef I had and my wife's lamps. For Dessert we had the Tiramisu and a Butterscotch mousse. Both were light, sweet and wonderful. We spent about two hours in Gusto, but it seemed more than 30 minutes because we had such a great time. San Carlos is happy to have such a wonderful little place as this!

Amazing food! This must be one of the best restaurants.
