    My boyfriend and I had our Monday night date night at Gusto. Sadly, the restaurant changed their menu and my favorite gnocchi with white sauce, pine nuts and apples is no longer on the menu, nor is the cheesecake I loved here last time. The lemon pizza though was delicious and the cocktails were pretty yummy. The service took a bit long but the waiter was nice and informed on the menu.

    food is great and service is too. But the alcohol drink value is ridiculous. We can get 4 oz for the same price at other restaurants. Service is good but very very slow

    We really enjoy coming to Gusto for Happy hour. We love the focaccia and the apps, salads and pizza are great! We had the seasonal agnolotti pasta last night and really enjoyed it. Our server was great as well! Such a great neighborhood spot.

    Uncomfortable experience at Gusto- my husband and I were in the middle of a date night about to enjoy our main course and the manager came over and interrupted our meal. He told my husband he made the cleaning staff uncomfortable by using the restroomwhile they were cleaning and would not recommend ever doing it again. It was 8pm on a Friday night (restaurant was full), bathroom was open, and there was multiple men in also in there. Other tables were looking at us, and it was a very uncomfortable confrontation. Killed the mood and experience at Gusto. My take: close the bathroom if you don’t want people to use it while cleaning AND don’t patronize paying guests in the middle of their date nights. It’s embarrassing, awkward, and unnecessary. Food was good but won’t be going back due to the uncomfortable experience.
