Great place! Food was amazing even though they lost power! A definite place for an experience.

Sorry to say we did not have a good experience at Gusto. It was our first time there the food was okay nothing amazing just okay. They do have a limited menu but that is okay for a small restaurant like this. I was expecting amazing food for the price and it was subpar for the price. The service was very weird and not welcoming, like you feel not welcomed unlike the feeling you get from bold which is amazing I know both are owned by the same owner, but it was just very dry service! Lastly the final thing which made it even worse is we ordered a non alcoholic drink for my daughter and it was horrible cost of drink?$8 not a big deal but it tasted like **** so we asked if they would return it. Now I know they do not have to refund and it’s only $8 but any respectable establishments would have done that and instead they did not (on a drink like that their cost is no more than $1 and our bill was upwards $600.00 for five people) so the least they could have done is take that nasty drink off the bill. Sorry to say we might not do gusto ever again :(.

My absolute favorite local restaurant for cuisine. Their scallops are amazing! Have always has excellent service. Sit back and relax and enjoy the courses, just like in Italy.

This restaurant has tons of potential to be exceptional. My husband and I had a great date night together. The food was great! However I was a little disappointed on the attire of the staff. For this being a more up scale restaurant with much more expensive dishes the staff should not be wearing T-shirts. They should be dressed in a nice pressed button down or something of that nature. I also did not think it was appropriate for the waitress to be wearing pigtails at a restaurant of this scale either. However with this being said everyone was extremely polite and did not rush us through our meal. I would recommend this restaurant to all.

Mi Gusto Mucho! Ok so my Italiano is much more Spanish than Italian but you get the idea. We’ve been craving authentic Italian since visiting Tuscany in August. We started the trip down memory lane with a Prosecco and Peroni. Next the broccoli small plate! Delisicioso! Then the bistecca ala Florentina with rosemary potatoes! It hit the spot and brought back so many memories of our time in Tuscany! Bottles of wine are 40% off on Thursday so we indulged on a Super Tuscan. We wrapped things up with Budino and cappuccino! Jake, our server, made the night extra special. He was right there when we needed him, made great recommendations and was adept at carrying on a meaningful conversation! Thank you to Mike the bartender at Bold for recommending this place. We will definitely return and bring some friends!

I feel like the service could have been faster given there is only 8 tables, but the food was good. Not outstanding, but good. Prices are reasonable, too.
Did takeout tonight, the prosciutto
arugula flatbread and seafood risotto were both amazing!

Gusto and Bold never disappoint. Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Nice little bar area for a glass of wine (or 3) and dessert. Staff is always above par and you often see the the owner around and checking on customers. Refreshingly well ran establishments

Our first trip here and we were impressed. It was a birthday celebration so we went a little crazy and ordered 4 small plates and some excellent friulian pinot grigio. The seafood risotto was amazing! It's pretty pricey so it won't be a weekly stop but it was well worth it. Recommended

We had our first experience at Gusto tonight. Libby was an amazing server and the food was awesome! This is our new favorite place. The flatbread we had was so flavorful and the meatballs tasted like they were made in an Italian grandmothers kitchen with love! We highly recommend the bolognase and panacotta. Very high quality food. You can tell the chef puts a lot of thought and time into the food and menu. Can’t wait to go back!
