It has quite an unassuming frontage with a few pavement tables, and a lovely uncluttered, Trattoria style interior. The Gem for us, though, was the rear Terrace; a narrow walled area with two rows of tables. Lovely & intimate.The Menu is comprehensive & there are also weekly specials that the waiter is happy to describe in detail. Also a nice selection of wines to suit any pocket, some available by the glass as well as by the bottleI cannot say enough about the quality of food; everything we ate was delicious, be it a Starter or Main Course. Portions were generous without seeming overdone. Prices are also very reasonable, especially for the quality of the food.The service was equal to the quality if food - gentle & attentive - the Waiter always kept an eye on everyone, asked if everything was OK during & after each course, & you really felt that he cared about your answer. At the same time never overbearing; you took as long as wanted, and never felt either hurried or ignored.We were there first for an early Dinner, and enjoyed the experience so much that we returned for Lunch the next Day. The same waiter was there (It feels like it is a very intimate staff, and very dedicated), & asked if we wanted to sit outside again - always feels nice to be remembered. As a final touch, the Chef pops his head out and somehow manages to greet & say goodbye to every customer while still producing such ravishing food!The are many good restaurants in the Neumarkt area, but if you are around there, definitely check the Più Gusto out - I doubt you will regret it!
