IL BUONGUSTAIO Reviews
Amazing food! Excellent service! Great atmosphere.
We came here for the first time tonight and my husband and son both got the chicken parm. The noodles were undercooked and the chicken was so hard you couldn’t cut it with a butter knife. They did not even eat two bites of their meals. The owner refused to take the cost of the meals off of the bill and treated us horribly. We will never be back and I will tell anyone that I can to absolutely avoid this place. Horrible food. Horrible service. Word travels fast in this town so...read full review
Delicious every time!! We get to-go regularly and dine-in whenever it is possible to find a sitter for a special occasion. Alex never fails to serve excellent fare!

Il Buongustaio is a cozy restaurant that serves authentic Italian cuisine with dishes like charcuterie board, saltimbocca, filet with Chianti wine sauce, duck special, cannoli, and tiramisu. The owner and staff, including Luciano, are from Italy and trained in Italian cuisine, which shows in the quality and flavors of the food. Guests often enjoy to-go options but also love dining in for special occasions or when celebrating. The bread served is fresh, warm, and accompanied by soft, chef-made butter, which is highly praised. Desserts like cannoli are made daily, and the seafood pasta is mildly spicy, considered out of this world, with mussels in a delicious sauce. Service is friendly and attentive, making diners feel like regulars. Reservations are recommended because each dish is prepared with care and attention to detail. Many guests find this restaurant to be a hidden gem, often wishing to return whenever they pass through.
