Gusto

The food was amazing! A friend recommended this place to me and I finally got the chance to eat here and am glad I did. We started with the meatballs for an appetizer and they were delicious. Then for the main course I had the Tagliata Steak which was cooked to perfection. And to top it off I had the coconut chocolate pie which was out of this world. It was so smooth and just the right amount of chocolate and coconut. The prices where also very reasonable for the quality of food served. I highly recommend Gusto!!!

Very disappointing. The decor was nice. However, the menu is limited. I've never been to an Italian restaurant where practically all the pasta dishes were spicy. When I asked if I could get any of them without the chili or other hot spice additions, the waiter said "no." The sauces were pre-made and already had the "hot" elements in them. There were literally only 2 kinds of non-spicy pasta. One was Rock Shrimp Gnocchi in a "lemon" sauce. I ordered it. There was hardly any rock shrimp in the dish, and the creme sauce was bland with no lemon taste at all. My friend got the Oxtail Tagliatelle which was okay, but not great. Both were quite small portions. When we asked for bread, the waiter gave us each a very small piece of bread -- as if they were rationing it! We ordered a "piece of cheese" as an appetizer (a piece is $7 or you can get 5 pieces for $25), that came with balsamic black cherries and 3 teeny, thinly-sliced pieces of crusty bread. Not enough to even put the small spread of cheese on. Although it was meager, the cheese and cherries were the only good part of the meal. It's not an inexpensive place - and the portions were small. Add to that, the waiter had a bit of an attitude. I've been to numerous other Italian restaurants in the 3rd Street area, and they were all better. We were unimpressed - and left hungry, to boot.

Awesome Italian spot. They take your order all at once, so be well prepared after reviewing the menu and drink list. I got the tagliatelle bolognese and it was out of this world. We started with the croquettes and meatballs as our appetizers and they were absolutely delicious. Great price point, felt just about right for the amount of food and level of service we received. Our waiter was great and took care of us. The interior is relatively open and spacious, and there is an upstairs that looks very cool with neat decor. Unfortunately we didn’t get to check out the second level but I’m sure we will be back here soon!

We were so impressed with this restaurant! I didn't follow up with a phone message reservation request and we simply showed up: bad idea once we saw how popular the fairly small restaurant was! Despite that, the Hostess was very easygoing and welcoming; she found us a table after a short wait. The octopus appetizer was amazing!! It was all great! The waiter overheard my wishing "Happy Birthday" to my husband and inquired. Even though his actual birthday was over a week away I explained we wouldn't have a chance to get out again. We were surprised with Prosecco and a candle in the desert! The atmosphere was great (cozy but chic) and the staff were easygoing but thoughtful and attentive. The perfect date place. We will definitely go back!!!

You can tell how much a chef loves what he does by the food he creates and how passionately he describes it. Chef Vic brings it big time to Gusto. We were a party of 6 so we were able to sample many of the amazing dishes. I highly recommend the meatballs, the octopus, the cacio pepe and the squash blossoms, but every dish we had was fantastic and can’t wait to go back and try more. Bravo Gusto!

Got the Ham & Cheese! Very good. Bread was freshly baked and the sandwich itself was amazing! The eggs were really fluffy and buttery. During the wait time we played ping pong. The board games were a little scant and we didn't get to try the video games.

Went here for valentines day because the menu and atmosphere seemed perfect. At first I was skeptical because we started out with a small dish of alive oil and a couple slices of bread. We then ordered wine, appetizers, primo and secondi. Everything was DELICIOUS. The flavors were incredibly rich and the pasta was cooked perfectly. By the time the second course came out we were pretty much full, but it was so good that I had to keep eating. The rib melted in your mouth and the tuna was soft with just the right balance of spicy and fishy. For desert we had their coconut creme pie, which was unlike anything I've had before. You must try it. This place has been in business for 9 months and they are going to be around for a while. The chef really knows how to make some tasty food. I give them an A. I want to go back and try more stuff soon.

Great food...a bit pricey. Food is all served family style so good for trying a bit of a few different dishes. There were 3 of us and we ordered 3 appetizers, a pizza, and two entrees...we were all pretty full and happy by the end of the meal.
