Tier Achieved:
Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
Il Guscio Highbury is the Italian restaurant that feels like home. With Carlos at the helm, the service is as warm as a fresh focaccia. Samanvay and Jason both report stellar experiences, raving about the truffle pizza and attentive staff. This place isn’t just about great food; it’s a full-on Italian experience—just like grandma used to make. The spicy arancini is a personal highlight for Jerome, ensuring you won't leave hungry.
However, don’t get too comfortable; while most are singing its praises, it’s still a neighborhood spot with the usual gripes of any casual eatery. So, if you’re looking for an authentic Italian vibe, this is a solid bet.
"Great mains, wine and dessert."
"Carlos is incredibly warm and welcoming."
"Staff were so polite and Carlos... entertaining."
