Terrific Takeout: Caffe Buon Gusto

A great way to start any meal is with a fabulously fresh salad, and that is exactly what you'll find at Caffe Buon Gusto.  Officially, we ordered the Insalate Primavera with Romaine, Arugula, Endive and Tomato.  Tucked away on East 77th street, at #236 to be exact, Caffe Buon Gusto is a bright little gem waiting to be discovered.
It is still chilly out, so it is perfect weather for seafood soup.  Fresh salmon, shrimp, clams, calamari and mussels dance together in this delightful spicy mixture that will totally knock your socks off.
Nando really outdid himself with the above.  You know Peachy has paraded around her chicken parm obsession for ages now and not only is this chicken parm, but there is even a layer of eggplant thinly sliced inbetween to join the parm party!  Simply exquisite.
The crowning jewel of Caffe Buon Gusto you ask?  Well without a doubt it is the Homemade Ravioli with Crab Meat, and we suspect there was even a lobster ravioli in there too as they know Peachy is a seafoodaholic.  Fresh shrimp, spinach and chopped tomato were fabulous additions to the cognac cream sauce to die for.

Caffe Buon Gusto is Terrific Takeout!
