My boyfriend and I received a recommendation by our concierge at the Thompson to try Gusto 101. It was only a short walk away and there was immediate seating.
We had the pleasure of sitting out on the patio to enjoy the fresh air on a late summer evening.
It took about fifteen minutes before we saw a waiter but we were both hungry so we ordered right away.
They offer both their house white and red at a dollar an ounce. This is a must! Both options were delicious and the price was great!
We skipped appetizers knowing the pasta would be incredibly filling. But seeing the ceasar salads going out, we were sad to have not ordered one to share. They looked incredible!
I ordered the Mafalde ai Funghi which is a rich pasta in a creamy mushroom sauce. The portion was huge and while my tongue wanted to continue eating, my tummy only let me finish about half of it.
My boyfriend ordered the lasagna and it was so full of flavour! Again, a giant portion which he managed to gobble right up.
Apart from the long wait to order and long wait to pay for our bill, the service was friendly. The noise level was a little higher than we prefer but it might have just been because of a noisier than normal table seated right next to us.
Our meal only ended up costing about $60 and worth every penny!
If we are ever out this way again, I would definitely return and try more items on the menu!
