GustoBistrò — Restaurant in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

So we arrived in Las Palmos for my birthday and walked around a lot to find something to eat. There was Spanis food booked for the next two nights, and as an Italian food lover, I wanted some pasta or pizza.

We were so lucky to find this place and the food was excellent. A sicilian brother and sister team with excellent taste and so friendly. I have no idea why we managed to get a table. Maybe because it is tucked in a side street.

I have been to Sicily 15 years, and this was certainly like local food. Note: they have pasta, meat, and Pinsa not pizza. Pinsa is like a crispy foccacia with pizza toppings. Don't miss it and enjoy! Go for the Nero d'avola...

Lovely quirky Italian restaurant in the heart of Las Palmas. Firstly, I loved the decor in this fresh and airy restaurant. Service from the moment of arrival was exemplary... Very pleasant server. I decided on the bruschetta for starter. Great choice, it was delicious... Lovely, fresh tomatoes. I then had the full portion carbonara, which could probably have fed 2. It was potentially the best carbonara I have ever had. Great pasta and sauce, with tasty bits of bacon. My partner had the cod croquettes followed by tagliatelle Bolognese... All equally good. I thoroughly recommend...

Mm, we were wondering if we went to the right place cos it was 4.8 Stars but the food was pretty so so. The service was good though.

But the fried squid, though a very generous portion & nice crisp, was rather tasteless. The pasta took a really long time to come that we almost wanted to cancel our order. The ravioli was a little too stale and too thick. The baked pasta I had was a really generous portion, but kinda lack flavour.

Hot chocolate wasn't too bad though, big cup, not too sweet as one can add...
