Gusto

Gusto is an upscale Italian and Mediterranean restaurant located conveniently near public transport and other amenities in the city. Guests will be treated to a pleasant and inviting atmosphere and professional service. There are two floors, with the 2nd floor frequently utilised by the premier "Speed Dating" service in Moscow "Fast Life" which is how I became acquainted with the establishment. I recommend it for a night out with friends or just to enjoy good food and quality service.

The quality of food was bad.
Service was not good. They didn’t give any attention when and which food to bring at the table. We were 8ppl (4kids) and they charged 10% extra for service.
It was not horrible but I don’t recommend this place.

We have been there for dinner. Food quality was good, service was excellent. It is not suggest able for Halal eaters. We have bought seafood and pizzas they were great.

Avoid this place, I had the worth experience in the restaurant. At the beginning they didn’t allowed us to bring the stroller inside as we have infant so we kept it outside, Then our order toke 50 minutes !!! we order a steak which they didn’t bring it. They brought the bill without asking for it and they charged me for the steak. I asked them to remove the steak from the bill they act as they don’t understand English and just gone and returned after 10 minutes with the steak
I asked them to return the order but again they started to act that they don’t speak English although at the time of order they was speaking English
Never had such experience in any of Moscow restaurants

The atmosphere is ambient, however the staff are too bold, never smile and not welcoming at all. They claim they don’t speak or understand English. We waited for almost 40 minutes till the food arrived, and surprisingly it was cold !! The soda was served in almost room temperature.
The food taste was good.

Good Italian food and atmosphere. There was live music which was entertaining. Staff are nice and sweet but no english and have to point the dishes in the menu.
Location was good and close to the hotels with little walk. Inside it was cramped but acceptable.

Ambience 4 food 4.5 cost 5. Music was not too loud, could carry a continue a conversation without being fully overheard. Lighting was well placed, but I prefer a bit brighter.
I ordered the Tuscan fillet with wild mushroom ravioli with an Alfredo mushroom emulsion, arugula salad, focaccia, sencha tea, and tiramisu to finish.
The fillet was cooked to a medium and we'll prepared, with a juicy pink throughout the edging was done in such a way that the juice and flavor were locked in the fillet. It paired well with the emulsion.
The wild mushroom ravioli were soft and warm while the mushrooms maintained some of the texture spring. A good balance of not being overcooked out tough and undercooked.
The emulsion itself was a creamy Alfredo that had a fluffy cream texture and pieces of chopped wild mushroom that held their firmness. The arugula was fresh and crisp as was the tomato. And the focaccia had a balancing amount of herbs pasted with olive oil then lightly baked with Parmesan cheese. An absolute delight. The sencha water was not scolding so the tea game out perfect and not burnt. It is a good pallet cleanser for this light meal.
To end with the tiramisu was a balance. The lady fingers soaked up a fair amount of the coffee and liquor without being drenched like a wet dish rag. There was a hint of firmness at the base of the desert which I like as I press the fingers with my tongue to the roof of my mouth. The marsacpone creamy and light. If there's one thing Gusto excels in is creaminess.
All of this for less than a steak in Seattle is perfect! I'll come back in my future travels
