This was our first time here, long awaited so expectations were high. We had an 8:30pm reservation for 5ppl. We had called earlier in the day (2pm?) to see if we could add 1 more person and left a message. It was not returned so we were unable to invite our 6th. Our table was prepared and ready for us, and could have accomdated one more person so I will bummed out for Buon Gusto on missed revenue, and bummed out for us as my mom could not join us. From what I understand it is always hectic here, which is great so maybe staff it so everyone doesn't need to miss out? Everything took awhile so bring patience with you. Thank you for accomodating the cake my son made for the birthday dinner. We were going to ask about that as well with the 2pm call, so grateful it wasn't turned away and that it worked out. The burrata was lovely, the pizza crust was very good, my carbonara was delicious- we had 5 different pastas and I believe the table fav was the penne with beef. Thank you to the owner for taking lovely family photos and his attention to detail. It was also good to see him leaning into the room and helping with service. Everyone helping everyone is a very good look.

It was our first time and it did not disappoint. Our server was awesome, attentive and friendly. The food and drinks were delicious, the Christmas market was going on outside so it added even more to the already cozy ambiance. Highly recommend!

We requested a quiet corner and were seated in the perfect spot. The hostess was wonderful. Our server Cass was attentive and our whole experience was lovely. Never felt rushed.

Sincerely enjoyed our dinned here. Calamari was (likely) best I have ever had (and I love calamari) - service, ambiance and overall experience was outstanding and the either manager / owner (not sure what his position was) was very attentive to all the patrons. Once item I found slightly unusual was that there was no background music which did not bother us at all - the noise level was moderate. I found the pricing to be competitive with a quality, dining experience though the wine costs were on the higher side, equally comparative to similar restaurants we have experienced. We enjoy eating out often and will come back to Buon Gusto - I do recommend the restaurant and hope your experience is as pleasant as ours was.

Buon Gusto never fails to please. Good food, great hospitality, warm and friendly ambiance and good value. It is our favourite restaurant in Guelph.

Stopped in for what we thought would be a quick bite to eat, but we didn’t want to leave. The staff and service was absolutely amazing. Their recommendations were spot on, and the pizza was exactly what we wanted. A highlight of our trip to Guelph.

Our server Sarah was outstanding, as always! Delicious calamari fritti. Beautiful atmosphere.
We sat at the high top tables on Tuesday night. The bartender, Stevie was so kind. She knows her stuff! She was able to patiently explain the menu to us and made a wonderful after eight espresso martini. She is a gem and one of the many reasons we will return.

My wife and I always enjoy Buon Gusto! Our server Stevie was next level amazing and the special after eight martini was unbelievable! We appreciated that both Ali the owner and Mark the manager stopped by our table for a brief chat to see that we were having a great time. Thanks for making our dinner so special and personal.

Great experience as usual. Our server, Kim, was attentive but didn't rush us. The food was delicious with generous portions. The restaurant was busy, so a bit noisy, but otherwise a really lovely dinner catching up with my gal pals!
