Gusto 101 is a lively Italian restaurant well-known for its great happy hour deal, where most items are half off. The rooftop patio is a nice addition, opening at 5 pm. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, featuring cozy booths and larger communal tables, creating a perfect balance of sophistication and comfort. The service is generally good, with attentive waitstaff, although there have been minor issues like a leaky ceiling that haven't been addressed. The food is delicious, with standout dishes such as the creamy and flavorful Mafalde Ai Funghi pasta and the Diavola pizza, which has a chewy crust and tasty sun-dried tomato pesto. The mushroom risotto and peashoot salad with chicken are fresh and tasty, while the lamb and beef meatballs offer an unexpected taste. Drinks, especially pitchers of sangria, are enjoyable, but there have been some delays with drink orders. The restaurant's ambiance is cool and lively, making it a popular spot for celebrating special occasions or casual dining. For those seeking a quieter setting, the main dining area downstairs is recommended over the noisier upstairs. Overall, Gusto 101 provides a satisfying experience with excellent food and a vibrant atmosphere that encourages guests to linger and enjoy their time.
