Dara adores the porchetta at Il Gatto, a Hamm’s-themed blast from the past, Stacatto closes, and the world’s best popcorn (made here in Minnesota).
Gusto Cafe and Wine Bar in Hopkins closed this weekend. Their voicemail says after three and a half years of business, due to economic conditions “we have made the painful decision to close.” Their website indicates: “Gusto became much more than a restaurant. The guests came in and became friends, our employees became family.” Sad news, indeed. [Hat tip to Katie Cannon]
