   Good and service was great! But the noise level was awful- had to scream to people in our party. Won’t go back because of this!

   Went there to celebrate my birthday, which I noted on my open table reservations. When we arrived we were not in the reservation book, as for information was never transferred from Open table to the hostess log. Without the transfer there were no notes about the birthday celebration. We were thrown at a table in a less desirable location, which was uncomfortable. Then asked to shuffle our seats during our meal to accommodate another party. Additionally, it was very loud where we were placed. Again, no acknowledgement of a birthday celebration. It was the worst birthday dinner ever, I couldn’t wait to finish my meal and leave. Since we were not in their original seating count, we felt like an inconvenience to the staff. Even though I had my open table confirmation on the correct date and time.

   Horrible service! 6:30 pm reservation waited 15 minutes to be seated. Waited about 45 minutes for our waiter to come over to our table. Took our drink order waited another half hour to be served our cocktails. He than came back and mumbled the specials of the night. Took our orders for dinner than left. The busboy finally fills our water glasses and left some bread. We then waited another half out for our appetizers which were delivered by another staff member. We asked the server to please send our waiter over and he never showed. We again asked for our waiter so we could order some wine with dinner and he never showed. Dinner arrived another half hour later. Our waiter never checked back on us. We finished dinner and waited another half hour when he finally came back to us and. Inquired if we wanted dessert! The four of us declined because we were so annoyed at our experience that we just wanted to leave. Normally we love a nice leisurely dinner to catch up with good friends but with our lack of service this turned into a very stressful evening. We will never dine here again or recommend this restaurant to anyone.

   The food was delicious! I would highly recommend Il Gusto based on food. Service was good but slow. There seemed to be only one waiter for the whole restaurant area (I can't speak for bar area). There were three servers delivering food quickly. But it took a while for waiter to come back to take drink orders. We will definitely go back.

    Great place in a good area. Plenty of specials and a large menu. Can’t wait to get back for outside dining. The staff is polite and accommodating.
