| - I've been to Gusto 101 several times for dinner. It has the winning combination of a great vibe, good service and delectable food! Just a little warning to begin, this place gets VERY busy so get there early or expect to be waiting in line.
The restaurant is rustic chic with an industrial loft-like feel. It creates a very romantic and sophisticated ambiance from the moment you walk in.
I've tried the following dishes:
- Polipo - so good that I've ordered this every time I've gone! The grilled octopus is so tender, not at all rubbery. So many sauces and flavours in this dish that no two bites are the same and keeps things interesting.
- Fettucine ai funghi & Mafalde ai funghi- Seems like the fettucine is no longer on the menu, but has been replaced with something similar now called Mafalde ai funghi which I have also tried. Personally, I enjoyed the fettucine more but the mafalde was different and new, never tried a noodle like this before. The truffle oil just makes this dish! I know some carnivores are hesitant to order a meatless dish, but this is something else. It is so rich and creamy, and delicious. If I haven't tried many dishes at this restaurant, it is because of this dish!!
-Proscuitto e Rucola pizza - WOW! This was just as amazing as the other dishes I've tried. It came out hot and tasty, and all ingredients tasted fresh.
The dollar and ounce house wine is also a fun and unique touch - hearing about it is what got me in the door in the first place, and I'm so glad it did!
I will definitely return to try more items on the menu! I just hope I can just stop ordering the ai funghi pastas!
