We had dinner at Il Gusto while visiting from out of town for a baby shower. We came here with our toddler after an exhausting drive and we were blown away by their kindness. As a fancier restaurant, we were initially unsure how toddler-friendly they would be. But they were talking and playing with our daughter through the meal and one very sweet employee even went in the back and found a tiny fork for her to use without us asking! And beyond that, everything we ate was fantastic!...read full review
Wonderful.. just hated that they charge for soda refills.. and at $4 each it was quite a surprise.
Great service and nice big portions!
