I had high expectations for this place because I absolutely love Ballantyne Village's restaurants, but Gusto is a no to me. The food ended up being cold and plus the food tasted okay, but not the best. I went there around 2, so the place wasn't crowded. Tomato basil was to liquidity and there was a weird huge oil spot in the middle of the soup. Calamari was alright, I had better. Chicken Parmigiano was cold. Sangria was decent.
