Casa Gringo

Casa Gringo brings a touch of Latin flavour to Gozo, with artwork and background music adding character to its inviting setting, where the artwork and background music bring a playful Latin character to the Gozo dining scene. The menu is now presented as one offering, divided into tapas, starters and mains, rather than separate restaurant and Bodega menus. This format gives diners a choice of smaller plates to share or more substantial dishes for a full meal. The friendly team are happy to answer questions and offer advice on ordering, beers, cocktails, tequilas and wine pairings, helping guests find combinations to suit their meal. Taco lovers can also look out for Taco Tuesdays, serving Taco platters accompanied by live music. 

Owner and chef Gino laughingly admits he has never been to Latin America. As his pasta dish Pedro Goes to Italy suggests, his cooking is not intended to be strictly authentic; instead, he playfully combines Latin-inspired favourites with seasonal Mediterranean ingredients. The flavours are carefully balanced rather than chilli-hot, making the menu appealing to diners who enjoy fragrant, lively flavours without excessive heat. The melt-in-your-mouth Fish Ceviche sings with citrus, while Callao Mussels arrive in a delicious coconut and lime sauce. The Carne Asada Argentine Steak is complemented by the fresh taste of chimichurri. With generous portions and an exceptionally well-priced wine list, the challenge here is to leave room for Gino’s drunken pear dessert!
