   A magnificent find. We have lived here in Boston for decades. Why didn't I know about Gran Gusto before this? I grew up in an Italian household. Both my parents were from the Avellino region of Italy just a bit south of Naples. This dining experience brought me back to my grandmother's table but with more elegance and yes, perfection! I cannot express how happy we are to have been introduced to Gran Gusto. The menu selection was varied enough with just the perfect number of choices. The portions just right, the prices just right, also. The service was outstanding! This will be on our short list of "Best Dining Experiences!"

   Great Italian food. A hidden neighbourhood gem. The vodka martinis and the tray of cheeses and cold cuts are a must.

   This restaurant is spectacular! My friend and I went for lunch and we were treated like royalty. I have been there several times and the food is consistently outstanding and the service is wonderful. I’ve been to Italy a couple times and if you want to feel like you were dining in Italy, visit this restaurant.

    Food was delicious. Service was very poor. I have no problem with slow service if I see the restaurant staff running around and being very busy. This was not the case. The staff was chatting with each other, never coming by our table with water or to see if we needed anything. The final straw was that one of our desserts was not brought to the table with the others. After others had finished their desserts and coffee the last dessert was presented with the check . They said "sorry" but still charged us for this dessert even though we said we no longer wanted it.

    Lots of different servers over the course of the meal. I guess they like to float. Never sure who to ask for what. The dinner was fine. Taramesu was disappointing in that water glass.

    It was our first time at Gran Gusto. My wife, daughter and I came for dinner. I called for being a bit late for our reservation and they said thank you, no problem. We sat immediately and had a fabulous meal. We shared a margarita pizza for appetizer which was fabulous. We shared a bottle of red and each ordered one of their homemade pasta dishes. We each tried each others' meals and everyone was thrilled with the tastes and presentation. We will definitely go there again, although we live out of town.

    poor service. ordered 7 dishes for 5 adults, 1 toddler. literally forgot to deliver 3 of the dishes. said they got confused. half of us ate and then half had to wait 30 mins. didn’t even offer to provide any discount or gratis for their mistakes. spaghetti and bolognese pasta tasted worst than ragu and 1 lb pasta at market spent 178 dollars. tipped $27 bucks to be nice. $205 for 5 people and one toddler. todddler literally was given plain penne that’s all. only 2 drinks. martini is not good either. save your money…go to another restaurant they do speak italian though which is quaint

    We were the first people to get there for dinner, and they didn’t seem to have their ambiance fully figured out. They kept adjusting the lights while we were looking at our menus, which was really weird for us, and started playing music once we ordered our food. Otherwise, everything we ate was delicious!

    The service was terrible. We waited for almost an hour before our food arrived. It seemed like the waiters were just walking around without considering that there were multiple tables waiting for their orders to be taken. We had kids, and again no consideration for kids getting hungry. We asked for complementary bread 3 times, black pepper 2 times until so some decided to remember.

    Strongly recommend not choosing this restaurant! We had a horrible experience with an older male waiter. He was so upset with my friend and I that he literally refused to talk or look at us the whole time we were there, even though he was serving us. The restaurant wasn’t busy, but we were seated at a table where we were about 1 foot from the people at the table next to us- it was like we were all at the same table. They looked uncomfortable, and we were. There was nobody at the table on our other side (or most tables in the restaurant), so we moved our 2-person table about 6 inches towards that table. The waiter came minutes later and said the table had to stay where it was, and immediately began pulling it back, so we asked if there was a more private table available. He never spoke again. Threw his hands up and pointed at a table that was literally against someone’s baby in a baby carrier. We asked if the bar was open and he just threw his hands up and huffed over to the bar and put our silverware there, poured waters huffily and slammed them down. It was really strange behavior. Someone else took our order and brought food and they were extra friendly and welcoming. The food was decent- the pasta was definitely homemade, and the caprese was very fresh! We had been looking forward to dinner here as our “one nice dinner out” during my trip to Boston, which was primarily for work. I don’t understand people living with so much hate, and with so little wisdom or self control. My nieces and nephews wouldn’t even act like that… “unwelcome” is an understatement of my feelings while I was at the restaurant. We didn’t let it ruin our night because it had nothing to do with us, and treated the waiter respectfully and cordially the whole time despite his actions. On a side note: Nobody ever sat at the table we originally moved closer to.

    Plain and simply the worst service I have ever experienced in 50 years of dinning. From the wait at the door despite a reservation and an empty table… to the 25 minutes before order was taken, 1/2 hour for mediocre food… 30 minutes for gelato and tiramisu Stay clear

    Gran Gusto was wonderful! Antonio was super-friendly and was flexible when some of our party were running late. The appetizers, dinner, wine, and dessert were universally delicious! Still thinking about the tiramisu and the paccheri ragu. Thank you to Gran Gusto for a wonderful experience!

    Overall, the restaurant was good. Food was good. The only drawback was our server. I feel he was rude. While he was taking our drink orders, someone from our party asked a question whether there are gluten free options, and our server rudely said, we are doing drinks now. Couldn't he have just said yes we do, or no, we do not have gluten free options. And, he never came back to see if we needed anything else, like more water, or a second serving of drinks. Very rude.
