Gusto

Gusto is an a la Italian café in Yerevan on Abovyan street. It has a summer porch right on the street with several tables, a first floor and a sort of a zero-floor. The place is not heavily designed but has some light elements that make the place look nice. The wall has some little paintings on them in an Italian style. There are also some marble elements too that look good in the overall picture. The nice thing is that the place does not look heavy like the other Italian designed restaurants or cafes – it is very light and nice.
The cuisine here is the best thing. A unique trick that you find here is that half of the kitchen here is near the outside window so when you are passing on the street and you see the process of making the food, a voice is calling you inside that is hard to resist. From the menu my favorite thing is the tomato soup that is a semi crème-soup that has some pieces of tomato in it. There is also some green in it and a bit of garlic that makes the taste more underlined. Don’t worry, the garlic will not make you stink later. Some other thing that I have tried here is the pastas that come in different shapes and sizes with different sauces that all are very delicious. Even thought I am not a big fan of sweet thing, the desserts here are goo especially the tiramisu.
The waiters here are ice and helpful so sometimes you really feel like you need to leave a generous tip besides from the service charge of 10%.  Even though the place, the dishes and generally everything is very nice here, the prices here are above average. Be ready to pay around 4000 or 5000 AMD if you order a dish and a drink. Even though it is a bit more expensive, I never regret for any dram spent here because usually when I come here I have a good meal and spend good time.
I really advise you to try this place. I promise you will not regret it.
