"Giusto is an upbeat and buzzy American spot that’s all about the tasting menu—it has all of the quality of a place like Castle Hill, but with flavors and a price tag that are far more accessible. Think dishes like shaved brussels sprout caesar salad (we love that it’s served warm), or their super savory scotch meatball made for sharing. Unlike other fine dining spots, where the service borders on stuffy, the staff here are as friendly as they are knowledgeable. Grab a seat with a view at the bar, or a quiet table overlooking the open kitchen, where chefs are bustling to finish your mussels topped with calabrian chili pepper (which will practically melt on your tongue)." - danielle rose, carlo mantuano
