GUSTO OSTERIA - TUCSON, AZ

We had one of the few good seats in this restaurant; the last one in the row of seats along the wall of windows which looked out onto the outdoor eating patio. There are only 3 or 4 booths and most of the seating is on tables along a banquette. this type of arrangement always gives me the impression of a food trough.

The food was very good though I would have wished for a small salad with the entree. Oh, and also a tighter cork for the herbed olive oil or some other kind of container. I noticed all the herbs at the bottom of the cruet but after i shook it up i was greased up pretty pretty bad. The olive oil mixture had a great taste and it went well with the super fresh bread.

Bill had veal piccata which he loved. I had 2 lightly breaded pork tenderloins stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese and accompanied with linguine with marinara sauce. I was only able to eat maybe a 1/4 of my dish; it was very filling and really tasty. Both of us have food left over for lunch today.

The restaurant is located next to Safeway at the intersection of Tanque Verde and Sabino Canyon.
