I made prefer using Uber eats and the driver canceled and didn’t deliver although it was ready from the restaurant side. However, I called the restaurant and the restaurant manager offered to handle the delivery, and he did send someone form the restaurant to deliver my food!

“Charming Atmosphere, But Service Left a Sour Note
This is a lovely little restaurant that really transports you to Italy—the ambiance is authentic, and to our surprise, there were even two opera singers performing live, which added a magical touch to the evening.

When ordering, I asked if they had any pasta with white sauce. The waiter said no, so I went ahead and ordered something else, politely requesting, “Easy on the marinara sauce.” What I received was a very large portion, drowning in marinara—exactly the opposite of what I’d asked for.

What puzzled me even more was seeing the table next to us served a pasta dish clearly prepared with white sauce. That left me wondering why we were told otherwise.

We didn’t order any wine (a bold move in an Italian restaurant, I know!), and after that, it felt like the staff lost interest in us completely.

All in all, the place has great potential and a fantastic atmosphere, but the service and inconsistency in communication took away from the overall experience.“

“Being 100% Italian also the food was amazing! They started us off with real EVOO to dip Our bread in with salt & pepper you can tell the EVOO was straight from Italy. I started with the arancini special which was sausage and saffron sitting in a white creamy sauce that was absolutely delicious. Then it was a toss up on my pasta dish between lobster raviolis and wild mushroom pappardelle I went with the lobster raviolis in a pink sauce. I never finish my food and I ate ever single ravioli. The portion was good enough for me and the proper way to eat a pasta dish so you don’t have left overs or waste. The pink sauce was creamy and delicious (I even dipped my bread in it at the end). Then I went straight for the dessert and ordered affogato (gelato with espresso) wow amazing not too sweet and not too bitter from the espresso perfect blend. Then my friend and I still were not ready to leave so I ordered a espresso martini and again amazing only advice I would give them is shake the martini more to make it foamy And that was my first experience at Gusto’s I give it a 10/10 Oh and the pizza looked really good that will be my next outing.“

Ambiance was better than expected. You wouldn't be able to tell by looking from the outside but the inside is a classy well lit spot with tons of seating a spacious bar area. Great spot for dates, friends, and family.

Service was so-so. Could tell they were busy and trying their best. Maybe hire more servers?

Food - pizza was alright. Not amazing like others raving on here but it wasn't bad either. One of them was lacking flavor and the other was undercooked.“

“The quality and presentation of the food was top notch. We were incredibly impressed by the dining room layout and staff. If you are looking for a place to propose to your significant other… this is NOT the appropriate place. As I mentioned the food was the finest I’ve ever had; however, the music was terrible. We felt like we were in a 1990’s discotheque. The music was loud, very heavy beat and not remotely romantic. We did mention to our waitstaff and they attempted to get it turned down to no avail. No coffee or dessert available either. I understand space is limited; however you have two of the finest dessert businesses well within walking distance. Even if you only carry two desserts. I would still go back there for the food with the hopes of different music…even soft jazz would be acceptable.“

“Made reservations last minute and was able to get a reservation the morning of .

Restaurant is located on the second floor in a cozy environment that can get loud depending on what time you have reservations.

Gentleman at the door was very welcoming and showed us to our table right at the window looking outward to the street which was great people watching from an elevated location. Restaurant was packed and I would recommend reservations be made .

Cocktails to start were a good generous pour and well prepared : Negroni was quite good.

Appetizers we got a side of grilled asparagus and the figs stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped with prosciutto and a drizzle of balsamic glaze . The figs were delicious and the perfect accompaniment for the cocktails . Asparagus was just okay , a bit too stalky for my preference.

Main dishes were the Pesto with pancetta topped with burrata made with Gluten Free pasta . Well prepared flavorful and heavy on the pesto which we prefer . Nice to see they offer all their pasta dishes with a GF option . The other main was their Tagliatelle Bolognese da Abruzzo which was a hearty ragu slow simmered with beef , veal and pancetta topped with freshly grated Parmesan. I really enjoyed this .

Overall we left satisfied with the entire experience despite being loud and a bit cramped in due to the small size of the upstairs restaurant .

I would possibly come back but would want to try other Italian restaurant options in the neighborhood for comparison purpose .“
