"Eating lobster in Kitzbuhel is counter-intuitive and this place confirms it. Apart from serving different types of lobster, it also serves Argentinean steak in a hot stone , some shrimps (imitation of the Spanish gambas al ajillo and that 's pretty much it. It also serves appetizers...and salads -we went for the scallops and the double -salmon and tartare. The four scallops of the appetizer are small (in the US they are called bay scallops , flavorless, and they come with slices of a cheddar-looking cheese, croutons, everything on top of a salad full of dressing. This combination resulted in a bad dish in desperate need of re-thinking. The Double was quite decent, with the exception that the tartare had no toast. The dish came with butter though, which was then probably meant to be eaten directly with the tartare without toast, or with the heavy bread below the salmon. Fine, whatever. The tartare was good and the Salmon OK. I must pause on our food here and focus on our neighbors ' food, unfortunately. They ordered the Argentinean steak . We noticed it because the smoke of the skillet (skillet, not hot stone btw, in spite of the menu saying hot stone came straight to our table, since the tables upstairs are very close to each other. As a side note, Argentineans do NOT grill their steak this way -it would be outrageous. The way this restaurant serves what they call Argentinean steak seems to be close to the way the Japanese grill their Wagyu -which is grilled on a skillet because the large amount of fat permits it (and it tastes incredibly delicious . However, taking what would otherwise be an amazing Argentinean steak and slicing it in thin cuts -and then giving it to the customers for them to fry in a hot skillet (that gets cold with time, something we could tell by the diminution of smoke invading our table should be punishable, if not by jail, at least by bad reviews . The lobster came and, in this case, the flavor of the sauce (we ordered the Chardonnay was better than the ingredient itself. The lobster was reasonably sized, and for 70 Euros you can have a better one probable anywhere, with the possible exception of Kitzbuhel. By then, it was hard to smell the lobster -all we could smell was our neighbor 's food. So.... don 't go there. It 's bad, it 's overpriced and you leave smelling of poorly cooked steak, even if you ordered lobster."

"We had a look through TA to find a last minute dinner reservation for a Saturday night and stumbled across Il Gusto with a reasonable ranking in Kitz. I called and got a reservation without a problem. We were really warmly welcomed to an outside...table in a bustling atmosphere with what looked like nice and wholesome pizzas being eaten. We were full of hope and then it all started to fall apart.... We tried to order in German but this clearly really irritated the waitress....We asked for water and a bottle of wine. The water arrived in mins but the wine took a further mins (with prompting which caused more irritation from the waitress) by which time we were totally gasping! As we waited it became evident that a number of other tables were also quite agitated with the long waiting times and were giving feedback. To be clear I am only making this review on our experiences and not what was going on around us but it seemed we were all in this together! After the mains arrived (hooray by which time we had run out of wine (boo).....so asked for a glass to accompany our meal. To our utter dismay the mains were overcooked and greasy and it was just a “oh for goodness sake,” moment. You can kind of deal with the wait if the food is amazing but it just failed to deliver anything...except irritation for everyone. That was enough for us so I asked to just pay and put the whole experience behind us. They apologized that they had forgotten our glasses of wine (again) and offered coffee, tiramisu (gratis) but I had to be at work on Monday so simply asked to pay..... At least they made an effort to remedy the situation. I could go on with other niggles but let’s just leave it here. I can only assume it was a “bad night” for them, staff calling in sick etc and it can happen but for me what is inexcusable was the frankly irritated nature by which we were treated. On paying and without being prompted they offered discount which I took without hesitation. In the end my wife and I just laughed the whole experience off but a return visit? I rather think not. I simply don’t have enough time left in my life...."

"Da wir einen sehr netten ersten Abend hier hatten, dachten wir dass wir unseren letzten noch einmal hier verbringen wollen. Das Essen war wie auch das erste mal sehr gut, allerdings war der Service absolut schrecklich. Angefangen hat es damit, dass wir in den Durchgangs Bereich gesetzt wurden obwohl wir 2 Tage vorher reserviert hatten (am ersten Abend stand dort noch nicht einmal ein Tisch . Weiter ging es, als wir nach Preiselbeeren zu den Schnitzeln gefragt haben, welche nach 10 Minuten nicht geliefert wurden. Nach weiterem Nachfragen wurde uns geantwortet dass diese vergessen wurden allerdings kamen sie erst nach einem dritten Nachfragen bei uns 15 Minuten später an, nachdem das Schnitzel kalt war. Als wir es nach ewigen warten schafften jemanden zu holen der uns die dessertkarte bringt, kam die nächste Enttäuschung welche aus unmöglicher Wartezeit bestand. Daraufhin entschieden wir uns keine Nachspeise mehr zu essen und verlangten die Rechnung, was sehr mürrisch entgegengenommen wurde. Die Rechnung kam 10 Minuten lang nicht obwohl alle Bedienungen um uns herumgelaufen sind und genügend Zeit dafür hatten. Als wir dann ein zweites Mal nach der Rechnung fragten wurden wir unfreundlich angemotzt dass die Rechnung schon kommt. Nach diesem schrecklichen Abend haben wir dann “nur” 7% Trinkgeld gegeben was anscheinend den Hass auf uns gesteigert hat da wir mit den Worten “so einfach ist die Welt” und einer zugeknallten Türe verabschiedet wurden als uns eine vergessene Mütze hinterher getragen wurde! Sehr sehr schade um den letzten Abend und ein wirklich unverschämtes Verhalten des Services!!"
