Gusto Perú — Restaurant in Rome

I really wanted to like Gusto Peru. The place wasn’t busy at all when we arrived—at least 10 open tables inside and another 10 outside—so I thought we’d be able to settle in and enjoy a big meal. Unfortunately, the experience started off on the wrong foot. As soon as we walked in, we were asked how many people were in our party. I said two, and they directed us to a small two-person table, which I totally understand by default. However, I politely requested a larger table, explaining that we planned to order more food—at least four dishes and drinks, as we were really hungry. They immediately declined, saying the larger tables were only for parties of more than two. Again, I get the general policy—but the place was nearly empty. Trying to reason, I said we’d order six dishes if needed, hoping that would help us get more space to eat comfortably. Still, they refused—no explanation, no flexibility, no sign that the other tables were reserved. It wasn’t about trying to take advantage of space, it was about wanting to enjoy the experience and spend more. But the response felt dismissive and inflexible. Honestly, that attitude was what turned me off. I would have gladly paid more, but when a restaurant values rigid policies over customer experience—especially when the place is clearly not at capacity—it leaves a bad taste. Service like that can really undermine the whole dining experience, no matter how good the...

I never imagined that I would find an authentic Peruvian Food Restaurant in the heart of Rome. It is AWESOME!!! The portions, as you can see in the pics, are enormous. Gilbert was our waiter and he was phenomenal with his service and “on spot” recommendations. When in Rome for a while and want to change from the daily menu of pasta and pizza, you can definitely delight your taste buds by coming to Gusto Peru. I can guarantee that they will be forever grateful! Chaufa (Peruvian fried rice but with a great flavor) is the go to. The traditional ceviche was stupendous and the anticuchos (skewers) were extremely flavorful and savory. Thank you Gusto Perú for giving us a great surprise on our last...

He ido a comer a este restaurante el día 6 de febrero del año corriente, la comida estaba buena de sabor, pero lamentablemente de gastronomía ecuatoriana hay sólo el nombre. Amo la comida de mi país, y ver que no viene valorada como debería, no! Ya desde que nos dieron el menú ( me pregunté: “estoy en el lugar correcto”), ósea si el restaurante se llama Gusto Ecuador, y que la mesera (lo mejor del restaurante, por su cordialidad y empatía) me traiga un menú peruano, como que ya empezamos mal, la srta. muy cordial me explico qué hay el menú ecuatoriano también, el cual pedí. El menú es una hoja mal imprimida como 4 cosas. Visto que fui en compañía de dos amigos (no ecuatorianos, por suerte), pedimos, un encebollado, un encocado de camarones, y un ceviche mixto como platos fuertes, una porción de arroz, de yuca frita y plátano frito. El encebollado, discreto, pero más de eso nada que ver. El encocado, los camarones todos enteros sin quitar las cáscaras (en la costa te sacan la p.... si les das un encocado así). La leche del coco, sabía de lata. Esto no es Gastronomía Ecuatoriana. El ceviche, que de mixto no tenía nada, eras 5 camarones y algunos pedazos de pescado híper cocinas que se derretían (poca profesionalidad y experiencia en estos tipos de comida), además parecía una sopa de tomate con dos cebolla y bueno, lo que escribí antes. La súper mesera (de sacarse el sombrero), me pregunto si estaba todo bien; y le dije lo que acabe de escribirles. No aconsejo a ecuatorianos amantes del sabor de su gastronomía este restaurante, mil veces mejor La comida que venden en el parque de grottarossa. Esa si es 100%...
