Il Gusto
Il Gusto invites guests to return to the Renaissance, with its architecture and elegance as well as the flavour of its Italian cooking, prepared under the experienced Claudio Turrin. The fresh Italian pasta made to order, the ox and octopus Carpaccios, the fine tartufo cake, the traditional ribollita soup, the grouper with asparagus and truffles and the ossobucco Lombardo are outstanding. For dessert, delight yourself with a tiramisu made over well-soaked cake and authentic mascarpone, accompanied, as all desserts are, by small garnishes of rhubarb and bitter pistachio cream.
