'Gusto takes shape in the spaces that belonged to a historic Roman restaurant: the Passetto (1860-2018) and, for this reason, the new project required careful considerations: the main objective was not to distort but to "clean" the many different managements while preserving the suggestiveness of the place.

Alessandra Marino with her architecture studio decides to focus on colors by making them "revolve" around old furnishings, poor and noble in equal measure. The walls dare new colors and mark the different rooms.

Entering from Piazza S. Apollinare the customer is welcomed by the Corallo room, which takes its name from the color of the boiserie and which joins, without architectural interruptions, to the Bella Epoque room where pink and gold make the walls precious, and the velvets of the sofas are played on pastel tones. We continue in the Cucchi room: the name is a recognition of the painting by Enzo Cucchi which is 7 meters long and 2 meters high, and the shades of gray alternate with pink and brick.
Entering from via Zanardelli, however, the Picasso room will welcome customers (the name comes from the large 1953 poster on the artist's exhibition at Palazzo Reale in Milan), characterized by a gigantic mirror 7 meters long and 3 meters high which reflects the large windows , and an ancient mosaic in soft colors. A small passage leads to the space dedicated to the pizza oven, here the walls around the tables are divided in half between China red and petrol blue, until they become covered with pure white majolica in the space dedicated to the oven. In this room the customer takes a look at the work of the pizza chef but can also purchase the Italian food specialties on sale.
