A lovely little restaurant hidden away in the old town. Food great, never rushed and good value for money

Bit disappointed tbh. Ordered the paella for 2 to share and was shocked how small portion was, also lacked flavour expected more than 2 prawns and 2 bits of chicken i think i had 1 piece of squid. staff seemed a bit confused when we questioned what we had ordered . We then ordered churros to share again small portion, not worth £7.95.Toilet was shocking taps broken and nothing to dry hands on. Resteraunt was nice, spanish music playing. But I would not return here, plus side...sangria was nice bit again £14.95 a bit steep!

Had an amazing birthday night out at Gussto last night with friends. Great menu with lots of choice. Tapas was absolutely delicious and the seafood paella was to die for. Excellent service, staff very helpful and friendly. Couldn’t have been any better. Highly recommended.
