“Family friends and our family have eaten at Gusto two times in the last month and a half. Everything was terrific. First visit we had the fritto misto (3 orders) and everyone got a different entree. From the meatballs to lasagna to branzino to pizza. And everyone was happy! Followed by a little dessert (tiramisu and panna cotta) and espresso martinis, one with Baileys added. Second visit almost more of the same. Delicious! And it is so lovely that they take reservations.

The wait staff was super attentive both times. Shout out to Conner, though I forgot our main waiter's name on the second visit.

One of our favorite places!“

Garlic knots were good, also got the fried zucchini yum and the sauce was great. 12 or more draft beers and sample offered Nice! We got the carnivore and margarita, liked the crust- margarita needed a little more flavor but still was good. Lots of staff keeping it clean and asking if anything else needed! I definitely recommend it, and I will be back. Welcome to Buda!“

“Hospitality here is truly unmatched! Chef Sterling and the entire staff at Juniper went above and beyond to make our evening special. We were celebrating our 18th anniversary and my birthday all the way from Sugar Land TX and they even surprised me with a little birthday gift — that’s unheard of!

We were treated to some incredible chef specials on the house, and every bite was bursting with flavor. The drinks were just as impressive, and the food… absolutely phenomenal.

We had the pleasure of sitting at the chef’s table, which had a cozy, low-light ambiance and a spotless, inviting atmosphere. From start to finish, the service, the food, and the experience were all five stars.

Our bill was only $100! (Tip not included)

Highly recommend dining here — we’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!“

“Was visiting a friend and stumbled upon this store. I love Golden Goose and I had never been to one of their stores. I found a pair of super-star that had a unique color and had them customized. The staff was great. They even shipped my shoes back to my place over on the West coast. These are my 16th pair of Golden Goose. And yes, I am aware that I have a problem“

“Came into Olive Garden just wanting some soup, salad, and breadsticks. Next thing I know, some guy storms in yelling at an old man in the corner, accusing him of “betraying the family.”

Before it escalates, our waitress calmly walks over, flips a breadstick in the air like a ninja, and somehow de-escalates the whole thing. The guy backs off and leaves. The old man just nods at the waitress like it’s happened a hundred times before.

I asked the waitress if everything was okay. She just smiled and said, “When you’re here, you’re family.”

Five stars. Will absolutely return.“
