Fodor's Expert Review Gustino Italian Grill

As soon as you walk down the dramatic staircase at this elegant restaurant, you know you're in for a memorable experience. The gamberi saltati (sautéed shrimp with spinach, artichoke, and Asiago cheese) appetizer is a standout here, as are entrées such as the fettuccine carbonara in truffle sauce or the risotto. Other memorable dishes include the sea bass baked in “papillote” and the veal chop with potato, broccoli, and wild mushrooms. The circular dining room has artistic lighting and views of the wine cellar and open-air kitchen. Saxophone music adds a dash of romance.
