Edit April 2024 - Unfortunately they've closed. Ingersoll lost a good one.The new location is so cool! They've really done a great job using the new space. The new menu choices are spot on too!

Imagine advertising a Happy Hour Special not only on your website, literally the first thing you see as you walk through the front door is the happy hour special. You advertise happy hour, but it doesn’t exist anymore? Never felt more scammed in my life!

We stopped for dinner tonight. The food was delicious, but the service was horrible. Our server was inattentive. A group of servers were sitting in the adjacent room on their phones the majority of the time we were there and talking. Meanwhile our drinks were empty and we were waiting to ask for our check. Tables sat dirty the entire time we were there. Gusto used to be a great place, but I’m not sure we’ll be back.

We used to LOVE Gusto when it was at Ingersoll Square. We didn’t love the price changes when they moved to the defunct Whiskey River on Ingersoll, so we went less. Our last trip back was tragic. Service was slow and inattentive. Garlic cheese bread was somehow melted on top and cold inside. Our beloved Van Helsing was soggy and our Detroit style was somehow burnt and cold at the same time. We had to wave people down to get to-go stuff and checks.Super sad. Used to love. End of an era I suppose.

We got Bamie's Jackson Street Pizza to go. It had a lot to recommend it! It was almost perfect. I loved the thin, crispy, cracker-like bottom crust layer with a lovely chewy layer just above it. There were tons of cheese, sausage, and mushrooms that were all very tasty. My only complaint was there was very little sauce. With more sauce, it would have been awesome!

Very nice place to watch a game, have a nice cocktail and delicious pizza. Not a sports bar but in a very nice location with lots of things to do in walking distance. Service is on point and quality food served. Happy Hour is good prices for apps and drinks.

Thursday is Bami tribute night. It was a great reproduction of the pizza that was made by Bami in the last century.He was an iconic pizza maker / entertainer on Army Post road. The look and taste was spot on.

Wings and cheese curds tonight. Half priced apps for happy hour. The most unique cheese curds I have ever had. Very tasty and lightly breaded.

One of the best happy hours in town- the spinach & artichoke dip is one of the best I’ve had and i love their Nashville hot pickle spears. Tonight, we had the Purdylicious- absolutely delicious and so innovative. They are always changing up their menu & trying new things.
