Great food at great prices. This became our favorite Italian restaurant when we moved to Bergen County. On a recent visit ordered their homemade at last minute and devine napoleon. Unlike most other restaurants which make their napoleon ahead of time which results in ruination due the soggy biscuit wafers, Buon Gusto assembles a perfect napoleon at just before serving. A real treat!

Our experience was not pleasantThe waitress felt she was undertip and told us she didn't get enough tip. This was not our first time there and we have always tipped generously. Definitely not going back.

My husband and I ordered Veal Parmesan and it was delicious. The veal was very tender. The other couple was also very happy with their dinners.We had fried calamari as an appetizer which was also very good.It’s a BYOB which we prefer and dinner included salad. The bread was perfect and the prices are moderate. All an all, a great restaurant. We’ll definitely be back.

Storefront.BYOB. Reservation made n then we were sat at a table very close to wait station n bathroom. We moved to a better table. Service is ok..had to ask for bread plates n napkins. Specials are expensive, more than regular prices. Ordered special appetizers..baked oreganata clams( good stuffing laid on top of whole clam ) arugula salad with pear, gorgonzola n walnuts ( they brought me a plate of arugula ..had to ask where the pear etc was..brought it back..had to ask for ground pepper, very dry salad..pear was hard and a chunk of gorgonzola was on top ( they couldn't crumble it??? and mix it in the dry salad). Friend ordered pasta fagioli..looked watery..bread was served..hard.,not warm, ate one small piece. For entree had Scallops over spinach n garlic in butter lemon sauce..Scallops were seared nice on top..spinach done well..hardly any lemon sauce or butter and taste of garlic.but was good but- 38.00..came with salad ( asked for them to give me that to go, since I had the special salad- never saw it). Friend had to ask for parmesan for her spaghetti. She truly enjoyed the spaghetti n clam sauce ( they said it was linguine?). Tiramisu was excellent and a nice size for 6.00. Bathroom was dirty, full of trash can overflowing and door very dirty.Overall, a nice experience, but after hearing so many raves about this place I would say it was just ok. But will try again..maybe for the veal piccata at 26..that looked good and update this review if needed..

One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever had the pleasure to dine in. The food is amazing and well worth the price they charge. The fact that it is a BYOB makes this definitely in place to take a date your wife, your family, anyone you enjoy being with! The staff is excellent. Service is terrific and the food you just have to drive yourself. I highly recommend this place and I don’t usually write reviews. If you don’t try this place out, you are missing one of the best Italian restaurants for the money you’ll ever find. Mangia, Mangia, Mangia.!
