Buon Gusto Ristorante

We went to celebrate my little niece's birthday, and thought we'd go for Italian. And thus we decided to try this new Italian restaurant called Buon Gusto Ristorante

Location: Down at the old Gadong area closely near the Menglait district, just opposite SuperSave mall (it seems that the area has turned into a food district now)

Setting: A bistro-ish setting with a few decors with an Italian feel to it
Atmosphere: 7.5/10 (good music and goo ambience, though prolly coz it's new, patronage is still a little lacking)
Design: 7/10 (design is nice, plain and simple and not overly decorated, with complimenting pictures and the best part would be the ceiling lights)

Trigger-happy on the menu

Appetizers: Bread sticks with dip
Presentation: 6.5/10 (a little extravagant serving on a huge tray, but kudos on the effort)
Taste: 6/10 (pretty good, as a usual bread stick would taste, and the dip complimented it well)

Drinks: Cappucino (dad in law), fruit juice (bro in law and the kids), Chocotinni mocktail (my hubby and my maid), chocolate milkshake (mine and mom in law) and pineapple/apple mix mocktail (sis in law, forgot the name of the drink)
Presentation: 8/10 for all (brilliant presentation, makes it so appetizing and you just want to sink your mouth into it and slurp the shit outta it)
Taste: 8/10 (my drink) and 7.5/10 (my hubby's) respectively (both taste pretty good, though when they said chocotinni I was expecting a martini taste to the chocolate drink, but it's just basically chocolate with a slight tangy taste)

Food: Pumpkin soup (mom in law), Hawaiian pizza (the kids) beef steak (my maid), beef sirloin (mine), chicken steak (mom in law), pasta (sis in law), spaghetti bolognese (bro in law), lamb shank (my hubby) and tuna steak (dad in law)

Presentation: 8.5/10 for all (each and every one of them looks amazingly delicious. If it weren't for my still recovering morning sickness, I would love to try a bite of everything)
Taste: 8/10 (my hubby and my mom in law) and 8.5/10 (for mine) (I would've given it a 9 for my sirloin steak if it weren't for the blooper they made; I requested well done, but they gave me a medium-rare instead, and it was quite bloody. Gotta admit, quite juicy though)

Dessert: Molten chocolate pudding (mine and dad in law)
Presentation: 9/10 (very appetizing and had the explosive chocolate smell that you can just basically taste it in your mouth already)
Taste: 9/10 (the moment you press into the chocolatey crust on top, the chocolate lava inside just explodes, with the warm rich thick creamy taste to be eaten together with the cold sweet ice cream, it was just a taste to die for)

This is a restaurant with a lot of potential to make it big, and their food are just amazingly delicious. Highly recommendable and should not be missed out. Might make a reprisal soon
