Went into Giusto for my mother in laws birthday dinner with several family members. Everyone went with the tasting menu and was pretty satisfied after the meal. The only suggestion I have is for the restaurant to clarify options for guests with allergies and dietary restrictions that want to enjoy the tasting menu.

we had an incredible dining experience from beginning to end. giusto is absolutely worth they hype, and deserved of every praise and accolade.
tip: ideally secure a reservation as far in advance as possible, but you’re like us, and your dinner plans came together that afternoon, call and get on the waitlist to be notified if a seat opens.
we arrived at 8, and were able to secure a 9:15 seat, while we waited at the bar, standing for 10 mins before bar seats opened, and we ended up just having our meal there, which was an excellent experience.
nick our bartender was amazing, the food was beyond. top tier, i had the duck confit, and she had the buscatini, we had the croquettes to start, and ended with the olive oil cake and salted caramel gelato, oh and a negroni or 3, all were phenomenal choices.
can’t go wrong here ever! will be back!

Attended a rehearsal dinner there. Food was great and well presented. Particularly enjoyed the creamy chicken and rigatoni. Servers were extremely attentive. Would definitely go back

Tuna tartar appetizer was tiny. Maybe 4 small bites. Pasta with lobster was a less than average dish - highly acidic & unbalanced with, again, a tiny portion of lobster. I felt they were stretching portions in order to have enough to go around. I will not be returning.

We accidentally stumbled across the restaurant while taking a walk and went in to try. The menu is small but the staff explain the menu well if needed. We got a simple marinara pasta and mafaldine (lobster pasta). Both of them were very yum and seemed fresh. The marinara sauce is amazing. They were able to give a coloring set for my kid which helped. We had a good experience there!

I can’t believe it took us so long to dine here. This is hands down the best food I’ve had in a very long time. Ambiance 10/10, service 10/10 and food 100/10. The street corn ravioli was out of this world. I also tried the peach & prosciutto bruschetta which was savory & sweet and just sooo good. I kept seeing this Bloody Mary type of cocktail going out so I had to order one. This drink was AMAZING. It was called “Caprese my name” which consisted of vodka, basil, tomato and get this…pasta water! Serve in a martini glass with a little mozzarella ball garnish. The most delicious drink I’ve ever had. This place is amazing and I highly recommend it if you’re in town!!!

We had a wonderful time at Giusto! The dishes were creative and delicious. Pasta was cooked to perfection. Our service was very friendly, helpful, and prompt. Dessert suggestions were fantastic and I'm happy we ordered them even though we were stuffed from dinner. My only complaint is the bathroom. There are no paper towels only a hand dryer, which isn't normally a complaint except that the door opens inward making you grab a dirty door handle with your freshly washed hands.

One of our favorite places in Newport. The food has never disappointed. Try the scallop crude or the scotch meatball. Fantastic.
Where to begin, what an incredible evening. Tracy our waitress was incredible, thoughtful, and just a real person. The food was next level. Tasting menu was the way to go and from beggining to end it every dish stood out. One of the better dinners i’ve had in a while and couldn’t suggest going here more. Also shout out to the new pastry chef for killing that berry sorbet.

It's not the first time I've visited Italian restaurants in America, but this one conveys the real flavors of Italian cuisine. And as a person who traveled to Italy, I want to say with confidence that they conveyed the flavors of Italy. The dishes we ordered were extremely tasty. The desserts also turned out to be very good.
The waitress was very attentive to our requests, she knew everything about the dishes we were interested in and according to her recommendations we were able to enjoy our dinner. Therefore, they not only cook deliciously here, but also have the highest level of service.
I recommend this restaurant 100%.

The food was incredibly delicious!! We were blown away! The service was just as amazing — our waitress was so warm and friendly 😊 My husband said it was the best Italian food he's ever tasted in his life! 😍🍝
The only downside was the long wait — it took quite a while for the food to arrive, and there was a big gap between the appetizer and the main course. But overall, it was absolutely worth it!

We hosted a party here and they knocked it out of the park. The food was excellent, service outstanding and the setting was beautiful.
