"The first thing that struck me on entering Gusto was that the inside of the restaurant was much bigger than I had expected. The double height ceiling gives the main dining area a real feeling of space, and the decor is chic without being overly fussy. The Cheese Friend and I particularly appreciated the long, lit-up tables in the centre, which reminded both of us of the salt lamps sold at the Christmas market. Our table was on the mezzanine level at the back, temptingly placed above the open kitchen so we were able to look down and spot our food coming onto the passe. The menu is fairly extensive, and we struggled a little bit to choose as it all sounded so appealing. I decided on a Redcurrant Mai Tai to aid the decision making process, before settling on the calamari (always a litmus test for a good Italian restaurant) and one of the specials: monkfish with fregola and pomegranate salad and a lobster sauce. My Cheese Friend opted for the frito misto to start, and the handmade artichoke tortellini. We also opted for a portion of garlic mushrooms and deep fried courgettes to share. As I sipped at my delicious cocktail, the Cheese Friend and I were unable to resist peering over the balustrade of the mezzanine into the kitchen below. I observed my monkfish coming out to be seasoned before disappearing back into the kitchen to be cooked. We also had the opportunity to watch other people’s food being prepared and regret not being able to try some of the other options as well. With great anticipation, we observed our starters being set on the passe and inspected before making their way up to us. Both the calamari and the frito misto were pleasantly crisp, the batter not greasy at all. My calamari was perfectly cooked, soft rather than rubbery and served with mayonnaise and a squeeze of lemon, just as I like it. The Cheese Friend’s frito misto was likewise very enjoyable with a spiced tomato mayonnaise to give it kick. Our main courses arrived shortly afterwards, and we tucked in with gusto. The artichoke tortellini were beautiful, pasta perfectly thin and bursting with flavour from the rich artichoke puree within. The brown butter sauce was a great compliment and the dish was a hit which I would certainly recommend. My monkfish was also very tasty. The fish itself was well cooked and moist, and the fregola salad was a refreshing match. The lobster sauce was velvety and enhanced the subtle flavour of the fish. What I was most interested by, however, was how well the pomegranate seeds in the salad and the sauce went together. I had initially been sceptical of the combination of lobster and pomegranate, but I very much enjoyed the combination of flavour and texture. The sides were good as well; crunchy battered courgette chips, soft in the middle and mushrooms fragrant with garlic. Although we were feeling fairly satisfied by this stage, we were unable to resist the lure of the dessert menu. I opted for the baked flaming alaska, having never actually tried a baked alaska but always wanted to, while my Cheese Friend opted for her favoured cannoli (the bar was set quite high for this as she is used to the offerings from the excellent Sicilian pastry shop in Leith). I had also been desperate for an excuse to try the Tiramisu Martini mentioned in the Signature Cocktails list, and felt this would be a perfect accompaniment to dessert. One thing I would like to note at this stage is that, although the food was excellent, we felt at times that the presentation let it down a little bit. As we were sat above the passe, we were able to observe the finishing touches being put on a number of dishes, including our own. We both felt that the final plating, particularly of sauces, was a touch careless at times. The only reason I would like to mention this is because both the Cheese Friend and I thought that the food deserved more care as the flavour and cooking were so good. Our puddings arrived with some ceremony, and I was delighted with the theatricality of having the flaming cherry liqueur poured over my baked alaska at the table. The Cheese Friend’s cannoli was very pleasing as well; a crisp, sweet outer shell filled with fragrant vanilla mascarpone and toasted hazelnuts, with fresh fruit on the side. My baked alaska was slightly disappointing; the centre was over frozen and the meringue, which had been lightly caramelised with a blowtorch before it came to the table, ended up slightly burnt in places from the flaming liqueur. The flavour was nice, but it would have benefited from being taken out of the freezer slightly earlier, and caramelised slightly less before being flambeed. The Tiramisu Martini, however, was divine. The Cheese Friend and I both left feeling very satisfied and thinking that we would gladly return to Gusto as a treat some time, especially as there were many other options on the menu that we wished we had room for.

If you read my blog or my Instagram you’ll know I take brunch pretty seriously. I am obbessed with anything served with avocado, I love eggs all ways and would choose breakfast over lunch every time. When Gusto, on George Street, launched their brunch menu a month or so ago, complete with a new smoothie and cocktail menu, I was delighted to pop along and check it out along with one of my best girlfriends.

had the three course evening menu in this beautiful restaurant and was very happy with everything. beautifully prepared and presented and excellent worth overall. was on the quiet side when we arrived at 18 o'clock, something was missing in the atmosphere, but that had changed until we had a few hours later, when the restaurant was much more busy. excellent service also from all employees who review our satisfaction with each cursor without being over the top.

On Monday night the husband and I headed to Gusto on George Street to try out their new menu*. Gusto has the most beautiful entrance, with the window decorated with pretty fairy lights tempting you inside. Inside the restaurant is beautifully decorated with chandeliers, plants and lots of black and white photographs they have a whole wall of black and white images. The restaurant had a really nice relaxed atmosphere and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. With its location on George Street it would be perfect for grabbing a bite to eat after a long day shopping. Visualizza piatti

Since we are now officially in wedding season, the annual panic of what to wear to a wedding has set in. I thought I would share 3 outfits I would wear to a wedding to give you a few ideas on what to wear. Dress, Blazer, Fascinator, Beaded Bag, Clutch, Shoes. This is a slightly more traditional wedding outfit and would be perfect for a church wedding. I think the Ted Baker dress is really pretty and ideal for a wedding guest outfit. I would team with a white blazer to cover my shoulders and a fascinator. I would pick the beaded clutch, but the Whistles clutch would also look great. For shoes I would keep things simple with these sandals from Faith.

Our trip to Gusto was yet another occasion where I was wishing I had a proper camera and not just my phone! I’m sad to say my pictures do not these delicious dishes justice, thus I will just have to be as descriptive as possible. Having attended the Perrier-Jouet tasting dinner at Gusto on George Street in Edinburgh, when I was asked to review the new menu, it was an easy yes. Gusto is a chain of Italian inspired restaurants you can find in many of the big cities up and down the country. To be specific, the restaurants are “inspired by the traditional grand cafes of Europe, Gusto is all about making the everyday exquisite.” It’s suppose to be ‘everyday decadence’… that’s something I can get...

we visited gusto on request of my sister and her friend. I haven't been for a few years, so I was looking forward to it. at the beginning we were brought to the intermediate level. the restaurant was quite busy, but not in a pull-out wise. gusto has a noble, pvolatile feeling, and you could easily not see that it was part of a chain. After we have a look at the menu, we decided to go for nibbles instead of starter, so went for some olives, garlauch teig leaves and some hummus. then for the net I decided for the Venison Special, my sister went for spaghetti carbonara and her friend, a veggie, went for the sweet and acidic aubergine steak. my sister and I also had a strawberry and vanilla mart...

I love everything about this restaurant: eating is great, the service is excellent and the ambiente is beautiful. there were three of us and we ordered bruchetta and calamari for the starter, while for the main course I mushroom risotto, while the other two ordered both carved filet steak. the risotto came in such a big part that it is impossible to end it itself. it tasted great, but somehow the rice did not seem to be thoroughly cooked; could still taste some uncooked grains here and there. other than that, it tasted delicious with a hauch of truffle oil. the steak was great, but I would recommend asking for medium, as well as the filet is thick and the center could still be raw if they as...

I ate at Gusto's with my family after my graduation on Tuesday night. There was 6 of us and they charge a service charge for tables of 6 and over! However it does say that this goes straight to the waitresses so we had no problem with it! The restaurant is a lot bigger inside than it looks and has upstairs seating, we sat in a booth downstairs and I loved the decor! We shared garlic bread which was delicious and had a selection of starters, the calamari and dough petals were delicious! For mains I had the carnivore pizza which was so good! The pizzas were a good size so filled you up but weren't too big and were reasonably priced, with s margarita at around £7. My mum order pasta and it arri...
