    During our 12 day stay in The Gambia, we went to Gusto four times. And every single time was excellent. The dishes are amazing, the cocktails delicious and the waiters friendly. Would recommend!

    Beautiful atmosphere but the food wasn't up to par. We went on a Friday during the all you can eat buffet. The options were few, the food was cold and the barbeque was under cooked.

    (Translated by Google) Nice place to eat well, you have to walk a bit but you also get something for that. Well worth it. (Original) Leuke plek om lekker te eten, je moet even een stukje lopen maar daar krijg je ook wat voor. Zeker de moeite waard.

    Amazing food ! The prices are slightly higher than that of other restaurants in the area, but it's definitely worth it. The place itself is very fancy and clean, and definitely recommend as a nicer place to eat out

    (Translated by Google) This restaurant is really recommended! Nice and quiet, if only a few steps away from the eigendlichen tourist mile, you can relax in a relatively sophisticated atmosphere and enjoy his food. The pizza from the stone oven and the, for Gambian conditions, very attentive staff always make a visit to something special. (Original) Dieses Restaurant ist wirklich zu empfehlen! Schön ruhig gelegen, wenn auch nur ein paar Schritte von der eigendlichen Touristenmeile entfernt, kann man hier in vergleichsweise gehobener Atmosphäre entspannen und sein Essen geniessen. Die Pizza aus dem Steinofen und das, für gambische Verhältnisse,sehr aufmerksame Personal lassen einen Besuch immer zu etwas Besonderem werden.

  • 4/5 Hans T. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place somewhat hidden in the side street of the screaming Senegambia strip. Also take a look inside! Ate in advance Vitello de Tonato and beautiful vegetable dish with goat cheese from the oven. Homemade pasta as a main course. Great house wine. Italian espresso after because the generous portions no longer had room for dessert. Delicious Italian after all Domoda and Chicken Yassa! Congratulations to the chef from San Remo and his common Gambian staff! (Original) Prachtige zaak enigszins verscholen in zijstraat van de schreeuwerige Senegambia strip. Kijk vooral ook even binnen! Aten vooraf Vitello de Tonato en mooi groentengerecht met geitenkaas uit de oven. Als hoofdgerecht huisgemaakte pasta. Prima huiswijn. Italiaanse espresso na omdat er door de royale porties geen ruimte meer was voor dessert. Heerlijk een keertje Italiaans na alle Domoda en Chicken Yassa! Complimenten aan de chef uit San Remo en zijn voorkomende Gambiaanse staf!

  • 5/5 Sharelle T. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great food! Initially found difficult due to the fact that it is a bit hidden, but since then we know where to find it. The staff is super friendly and the owner even came to chat. I would definitely visit this place again and definitely recommend it to others! Super satisfied! (Original) Ontzettend lekker gegeten! In eerste instantie moeilijk gevonden ivm het feit dat het een beetje verscholen zit, maar sindsdien weten we het wel te vinden. Het personeel is super vriendelijk en de eigenaar kwam zelfs nog eventjes een praatje maken. Ik zou deze tent zeker nog een keer bezoeken en zeker aanraden bij anderen! Super tevreden!

  • 3/5 Daniel Lateu (. 2 years ago on Google
    A very mixed review and disappointed experience. We've been coming to Kololi for several years and this was our first visit to this restaurant as we have been to most other, plus the reviews were high and friends recommended it. Initial reception was good and they soon offered drinks. We place our order for main courses and a side of garlic bread. To our surprise we were give a basket of bread with a garlic sauce. Very nice but filling. If you're not a big eater beware. The garlic bread, or pizza in this case shortly followed and my wife's dinner. I was to wait several more minute for my beef lasagne. Unfortunately it was COLD. I informed the waiter who apologised and took it away. I then sat and waited another 20 minutes for my dinner to come back by that time my wife had finished hers, which was lovely, 5* by the way. My lasagne had unfortunately been cooked to within an inch of its life and was now a mush and well over cooked. I couldn't eat it and decided to speak to the manager. There had been several complaints of cold food by other customers also. In this case, my first, I refused to pay for the nights meal, and the manager wiped my bill clean. That I appreciated. For the amount that is being charged they need to sort out the kitchen. A shame as this was our last night too. MAY visit again and retry next year

    We’ve visited this restaurant many times over the last 4 years and each time it’s been incredible. Lovely staff, beautiful setting and the food is superb. The staff are extremely attentive and accommodating. We’re quite fussy vegans, and the chef came out and made us their own speciality dish, and it’s the best meal we’ve ever had in The Gambia. Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 InkAway laser Tattoo R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great restaurant if you want to go and have a good pizza and a good bottle of wine. We have been here two times and must say we are so satisfied with the quality.. the owner is a very polite guy who personally comes over and check if everything is okay and service is good:) the only thing I regret about last night which was the second time we were there, is that when the owner came over and asked if we were satisfied i should have said (after we bragged about the good food and wind), that his staff and our waiter for the night should only come over to the table once after receiving our dishes and asking if it’s okay. The guy last night came over to our table about 13 times asking if everything was okay. It made the meal a bit stressful and if I may add a bit irritating. The waiter should come over once to take the order , once to deliver the drinks and ones to deliver the food. After this, it’s okay he checks that everything is okay with the food and after that only be back to clear the table and come with the bill. (he also stood by the table when we got the bill, watching us getting our cash like super stressing us. I had to ask him to go away and give us a moment.) I would say 13 times is almost like walking the beaches in Gambia, unbearable! But again, great food and great wine :)

    It was a good experience, staff were extremely professional and helpful. The food was definitely a 10/10. Had a really nice experience. Various options for seating, modern build with a pool table available. Good for both solo and group dates. Definitely a place to revisit

    Nice place, with an interesting choice of food. My suggestion is to add a few more fans, it can be very hot

  • 4/5 Clara Di P. 1 year ago on Google
    The pizzas was beyond good, I had been wanting to eat pizza after 2 months of local food and I was very satisfied. The place is very nice and we had fun playing at the billiard table. Owner and waiters very friendly. I am rating 4 starts though, I ordered tiramisu for dessert (it was very expensive, around 7-8€ but wanted to treat my italian roots), what I was served was a sugary biscuit between 2 pours of cream (not mascarpone which I have seen in local supermarkets) served in a tiny little glass. It wasn’t good and also it was not real tiramisu and the size was very uncompetent with the pricing.

    (Translated by Google) You don't have to go to Gambia for culinary delights. But in The Gambia I ate the best here. Richly filled, homemade tagliatella with lobster. The pizzas were also great. In addition, sit comfortably and download a series with fast internet. On the Gambia scale therefore 5 stars (Original) Voor culinair genieten hoef je niet naar Gambia. Maar in Gambia heb ik hier het beste gegeten. Rijk gevulde , zelf gemaakte tagliatella met kreeft. Ook de pizza's waren prima. Daarnaast lekker rustig zitten en met snel internet een seriet downloaden. Op de Gambia schaal daarom 5 sterren

    Visited this beautiful restaurant when I was in Gambia 2 weeks ago. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much of a problem. The food was lovely! I sadly couldn't finish it as my eyes were too big for my belly and the steak was huge! When we are back next year we will be sure to eat here again. Thank you

    (Translated by Google) The food was fine, but the waiter behaved terribly. Was decorating my daughter at the table where I was sitting and where I was totally ignored. What an indecency. (Original) Het eten was prima, maar de ober gedroeg zich vreselijk. Was mijn dochter aan tafel aan het versieren waar ik bij zat en waarbij ik totaal werd genegeerd. Wat een onfatsoen.

    (Translated by Google) Delicious eaten! Only too much. The chef personally came to all tables to ask if it tasted. Top! And slightly off the road, so that you don't hear the noise of the street. (Original) Heerlijk gegeten! Alleen te veel. De chef kwam persoonlijk langs alle tafels om te vragen of het smaakte. Top! En iets van de weg af, zodat je de herrie van de straat niet hoort.
