Gusto Review - Lo Squero

On a coldish December weekday evening, hubby came home from work wanting a juicy steak! Immediately the thought made my mouth water.. and out came Gusto! Lo Squero it was :)

The location: The postal address is Floriana but to get there, drive to Valletta. Then take the Marsamxett road and turn down on the left, right along the Grand Excelsior hotel. Keep going down and down as if to the sea. At a sharp right bend, find a parking spot. You will see Lo Squero right ahead.

The place: On the waters edge.. a beautiful view across the sea to Sliema. The sea sparkling from the Sliema lights and the moonlight is spectacular :)


The menu: A great Italian selection - including an extremely varied pizza menu, antipasti, pasta, and main dishes involving chicken, duck, quail, lamb, veal, pork and beef! The Chateaubriand for two sounded great, but we eventually settled for one prime Argentinian ribeye with mushroom cream sauce and one fresh Argentinian fillet of beef with green pepper sauce. They served a lovely bread and butter basket while we waited!

The staff: Discreet, polite and easy to get their attention :)

Gusto: Accepted Gusto with no problems and we saved €22.00 off our midweek dinner out!

P's recommendation: For great steaks, a wonderful waters edge view and no-nonsense good service, this is the place for you! And save 50% off your food bill by getting your Gusto Card here!
