Came here on a walk-by on a long weekend brunch Monday.
My brunch companion had been to Gusto 101 for dinner, and thought it was worth checking out their brunch.
We were led to sit upstairs on a trendy enclosed patio, brought water, and handed two simple clipboard menus. We didn't need long, as two menu items jumped out at us- ricotta pancakes and the cornetto (basically a croissant filled with pastry cream).
The coffees were strong, and delicious, but for those who are new to coffee, maybe not the easiest to drink.
Ricotta pancakes were fluffy and light, but a little secretly savoury- among the best pancakes I've eaten- EVER.
As delicious as the ricotta pancakes were, the cornetto was somehow better. Served with a tiny parfait shot (layered granola, yogurt and fruit in a shot glass), the cornetto was a touch sweet, crisp and fluffy: the perfect croissant filled with an amazing cream.
The service was quick and attentive, but not intrusive.
The bill came to pennies over $25 for the two of us.
I'd definitely recommend Gusto 101 for bunch. Great food, good service and ambiance. A little trendier than I'm use to in the financial district, but a great find.
