Gusto Giusto (Closed)

I am usually a fan of Chicken Gordon Bleu, I really like the cheese inside the chicken meat with some extra sauce on top. However, the Chicken Gordon Bleu here was really dry and hard. The crust itself and the meat was dry. As much as it was cut into bite size portions, it was still pretty hard to chew. However, the mash potatoes and baked beans were pretty okay, nothing bad about them.

This was actually a trial and error dish. The dish looked rather beautiful at first sight however, it wasn't exactly that great. The spaghetti is cooked with chili padi and olive oil (I guess there was the experimenting going on). I quite like the spiciness but it has to have more. It was rather bland on this dish but then agian, they were experimenting. On the other hand, the chicken was cooked quite nicely whilst maintaining a herbally flavour.

Who doesn't love pizza? The cheese, the tomato bolognese sauce, the crust, all of it binded together as one. This pizza was actually supervised by a real Italian owner when it was being prepared. The chef had a 8 year Italian cuisine experience. I really like the thickness of the crust, it wasn't too thin nor too thick and best of all, it was consistent. The only thing that I find lacking was the amount of tomato bolognese sauce. I wished that there was more to give it that extra flavour. Cheese

I really enjoy feasting on juicy, tomato and cheese filled lasagna. Kinda gives the punch I need. This plate of lasagna was pretty okay. It was actually too thick and creamy for me, if only they were to add more tomato instead of cheese then it would be more to my liking. Besides that, some additional seasoning would also help because it was a little too bland for me. But overall, there are room for improvements.

This plate of truffle oil pasta is one of the most satisfying plate of pasta I've ever tried. The truffle scent was so aromatic that it filled the room so warmly. This plate of pasta was served in a simple manner, just truffle oil with cream, pasta and some garnishes. However, as simple as it may sound, it smell and taste amazing. Furthermore, the chef only used 2-3 drops of truffle oil to produce this plate of pure awesomeness!

BBQ Chicken Whole Leg in Lemon Orange SauceThis dish is actually one of their trial-and-errors test plates, so once again we're their first biters! Having said that, this dish lookes really good at first sight. But don't be fooled because the spaghetti really packs a punch. It is cooked as aglio olio so it seems pretty harmless but in reality they added small chilies (cili padi). I couldn't withstand the spiciness that much, even more so when it was a sharp pain when I accidentally bit one. Extr

Margherita - RM9This has got to be the most cheesiest pizza I've ever engulfed on. So Gusto Giusto has some really aunthentic pizzas, and they don't serve you mainstream ones like Classic Hawaiian or Pepperoni because apparently those are actually American styled pizzas! Yeah, I didn't know that either. In Italy, the basic pizza is actually Margherita, which is served with plain mozarella cheese, tomato puree and basil herbs. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. It's amazing how this only cost

Beef Lasagna - RM14I liked this more than the chicken one.. again lol. I think their beef meat is saltier haha. It's a good thing for me though. Also, this lasagna had a burnt crust which gives it a crispy skin when you chew on it. The pastry skin has a nice texture to it, and I love that the cheese is reaaaally soft and creamy. Not chewy, but not too dilluted either. But I think they still need more bolognese sauce.Chicken Lasagna - RM14This lasagna scared me abit when it arrived O.O It looks p

Spaghetti Bolognese (Chicken) - RM8The basic pasta of all pastas. Gusto Giusto's version is just like any other good ones, rich with tomatoes and herbs. I have to admit though, that their pasta didn't feel authentically Italian at my first try. I know they were focusing on something to fit the local taste and toning the flavors from fine dining requirements, but the spaghetti felt too Malaysian for me. Nonetheless it was still great to eat, just that it wasn't anything special to boast about.Spa

Antipasto - RM10So Antipasto actually meant.. appetizer in Italian haha. Served with green peas, corn, sundried tomatoes, olives and a good stack of buffalo mozzarella cheese. This was such a healthy starter and to be honest I could even eat this alone and be quite satisfied already. With all the oily food we are having today, this plate full of greens made me feel really healthy and I love love love the olives! Unlike most olives outside (cough Subway cough) which has a really weird aftertaste,

For those who don't frequent Glenmarie, they would often find Glenmarie being a location where it's hard to find any food stalls there. For those who's familiar with the area will know that there's merely a specific location in Glenmarie where all the food restaurants centralize in. Gusto Giusto is one of those restaurants in that area.The area here is known to draw in the considerable lunch crowd of the working class during working days but known to be like a ghost town during weekends hence co

For the finale, I was served with Espresso to keep us in 'good health'. I read somewhere that coffee may have benefits, such as protecting against Parkinson's disease, type 2 diabetes and liver cancer. And it has a high content of antioxidants.Real Italian Espresso come in black, short and hot for only RM 4, pretty decent price to pay for any coffee drinker. What a great and satisfying way to end my gastronomic adventure at this charming Italian restaurant. Can't resist not taking any pictures w

This is one of my favourite thin crust pizza besides the GG Special. With toppings of savoury home made tomato sauce, olives, mozzarella and the special addition of anchovies that was baked to perfection. The Siliciana Pizza is crispy on the outside and extremely cheesy on the inside. I loved eating the slightly burnt cheese topping on this pizza. In fact this is my first eating anchovies on pizza. They take on an intense but sophisticated fish flavour and I think may not goes well wit

Arancini or arancine are fried rice balls coated with breadcrumbs, said to have originated in Sicily in the 10th century. Arancini are usually filled with ragù (meat sauce), tomato sauce, mozzarella, and/or peas. There are a number of local variants that differ in fillings and shape. The name derives from the food's shape and color, which is reminiscent of an orange (the Italian word for orange is arancia, and arancina means "little orange"). Well, you see Gusto Giusto decided to introduce this
