Friday Night At Gusto - Newcastle

I promised to take my Mam to Gusto on the Quayside since before the summer and I've promised her for we would go before the year is out. So on Friday night we finally went.

After Christmas shopping we made our way from Fenwicks down the to the cold and windy quayside and had a warm welcome inside Gusto.

We were seated straight away and we put in our order of tomato garlic bread.

Browsing the menu and waiting for R.

By the time R arrived we ate all the garlic bread. It was far too good to leave any so he had to settle with a bottle of Peroni as his starter. 

I ordered the tagliatelle with prawns and garlic. Which also came with chilli tomatoes, rocket and some fresh lime. 

My pasta was so good and I think it's my new favourite on the menu!! 

R ordered the tagliatelle arrabbiata with extra spice. 

However R isn't a massive fan of tagliatelle so he switch it for rigatoni.

Mam also switched her spaghetti for rigatoni. Which she had with lobster and prawns in a tomato sauce. With a little extra parmesan. 

Which we washed down with a bottle of ca'di late Sauvignon blanc.  

We all thoroughly enjoyed our main courses and I left some room for my all time favourite pudding. 

The nutella and mascarpone calzone! Honestly you have to try this! I just can't tell you how good it is. 

I managed to convince Mam to try the banana and salted caramel meringue as it looked so good when I came to Gusto to sample the Autumn menu with Chloe.  

I managed to steal a little bite and it was so good in fact next time I go I think I might have to have 2 puddings! 

As we couldn't manage all of our pasta I asked our lovely waiter to box it up and we gave it to a homeless person. This is something I do regularly when I have left over food and 9 times out of 10 the person receiving the food is so grateful. 

Have you tried Gusto yet? I love the food there so much I want to go back next week!!
