Con Gusto: a pleasant experience with room for growth...
On Saturday morning I decide to book for two people at "Con Gusto", a restaurant that already presents itself on the phone with courteous and attentive staff, ready to gather all the information necessary for the reservation. A detail that suggests a certain attention to the customer.
Arriving in the evening, in front of the entrance to the restaurant, I am pleased to notice the closed door and the presence of a bell. This detail, although simple, represents in my opinion a good business card: it avoids the constant coming and going of people, maintaining a more intimate and reserved atmosphere. Inside, the room is small but tastefully furnished, revealing a stylistic imprint that goes well with the identity of the restaurant. The staff immediately appears attentive and prompt, a welcome that bodes well for the rest of the evening. We sit down and are immediately served with water, a welcome entrée and an assortment of breadsticks, bread and focaccia, all strictly homemade. We opt for an appetizer to share, two first courses, two glasses of Ribolla and a dessert, also shared. On a culinary level, the quality of the dishes does not disappoint: well prepared, refined and with evidently quality ingredients. However, at the end of the evening, a particular feeling emerges. The restaurant seems to want to emulate a "luxury venue" experience, but some details are still missing to fully achieve that distinctive identity that makes "Con Gusto" an indispensable point of reference. It is as if it were in a transition phase, where the intention is there, but the result must be refined. The bill, 94 euros for what was ordered, is within the norm, although, perhaps, a slightly lower cost (about 10 euros less) would have made the quality-price ratio more balanced. Ultimately, "Con Gusto" is a restaurant that guarantees a good level of cuisine and attentive service, but which still has room for improvement to consolidate its identity. A pleasant experience, which offers a glimpse of potential and future growth.

We had lunch without having booked. Very well decorated restaurant with great style and warmth.
Perfect welcome.
Interesting menu of both meat and fish. The dishes we tried were excellent.
Very clean bathroom.
The price is obviously in line with the above but objectively the service, the dishes and the context make the difference.
Truly a jewel in the center of Cosenza.
Compliments.

Marco and Francesco welcomed us and accompanied us throughout the dinner with elegance and friendliness.
The place is welcoming and well-kept. The background music, at a not too high volume, accompanies pleasantly without disturbing the conversation. The courses are prepared and plated with attention, the pumpkin flan and the risotto with porcini mushrooms and Castelmagno are delicious. Maximum attention to different dietary needs. An experience absolutely worth repeating

We had lunch at Con Gusto with my family and were immediately struck by the chic decorations and the quiet, welcoming atmosphere that characterizes the restaurant. The staff was super friendly, very attentive and extremely knowledgeable, offering impeccable service. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with a small welcome from the chef, a gesture that immediately made us feel special. We chose the first courses, which were truly gourmet, with more than adequate portions and an exceptional taste. To conclude, the homemade desserts were a real delight, a perfect ending to a perfect lunch. Highly recommended!

¡Fantástico! Nuestra primera experiencia fue tan genial, que regresamos en nuestra última noche en Cosenza. Nos recibieron en cuanto llegamos. Fue un placer para nosotros conocer al personal, ya que son tan amables y nos hicieron sentir tan cómodos. Nos ayudaron con nuestras preguntas del menú profesionalmente.
El chef prepara las comidas con hermosas presentaciones y con salsas complementarias que son simples pero complejas en sabores para elevar las entradas. Verdaderamente arte gastronómico. ¡No dejes pasar esta joya!
Muchas gracias a todos ustedes.
