Amaro

It was only last week that the owners of Gusto on Hutt re-branded the restaurant to Amaro. Previously, Gusto on Hutt and the original Gusto in Norwood not only shared the same name, but they also had identical menus. After querying what the changes were, I was told Gusto in Norwood is a cafe while…

Kicco – Glenelg

Kicco is an espresso bar located right in the centre of the Bayside Village shopping complex in Glenelg. It’s one of three stores with the same name in Adelaide.

Just like a typical Italian cafe there are salads, pizza, meat, chicken, seafood, pasta and risotto dishes…
