After years of planning, this stylish ground floor Downtown eatery inside a cannabis industry incubator is finally open. Inside, you'll find chef Michael Magliano's largely plant-based menu, which integrates the use of hemp leaves and other non-psychoactive cannabinoids. If this sounds gimmicky to you, you’re not the only one, but Gusto Green’s vegetable-driven fare surprisingly reads as fresh, flavorful and utterly delicious. The restaurant’s atrium, soon to be lined with plants, and relaxing color scheme also make for a stylish yet comfortable dining experience. Other menu standouts include the blood orange hamachi crudo, beet gnocchetti and the fudgy almond cake dusted with matcha powder. Of course, the painstakingly sourced chickpea-battered hemp leaves make an appearance on most tables.
