We’ve been to Gusto’s probably 3 times previously and recently learned it was under new ownership so we decided to try it out. We started off with the roasted Brussels sprouts which were very good, however, were not as great like we had on previous visits. The chicken Parmigiana had cold chicken cutlets with cold cheese on warm rigatoni covered with warm vodka sauce, not very appetizing to say the least. We decided not to complain and just took the dish home to heat up another time. The other dish ordered was the Bulgogi bowl, which was a travesty of a dish. It was basically an oily coated dish of vegetables and beef with an extremely heavy dose of soy sauce over rice. The only good thing was that the vegetables were cooked while retaining a crispness with the beef cooked properly as well, what a shame. There was no flavor other than salty soy which anyone could make by pouring copious amounts of kikkoman from one’s pantry with the same results. Very disappointed as we expected the same consistent food we’ve had before and would have given 1 star, but the sprouts barely edged it up an additional star. Also, the service was not that great either, we were an afterthought and the restaurant was maybe a 1/4 filled. We will not be back, so sad, we had enjoyed this establishment under the previous ownership, even though it was only a few times over the last year or so. Lastly, the place looks great and appears enticing, however, in this case, looks are deceiving.

3.5 stars which equals ok in my book. I haven’t been here since the new ownership took over around 4 months ago. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as good so I have to change my review. Today we had the fried goat cheese and the shrimp spring rolls as appetizers. The fried goat cheese is delicious, but not as good as before. The shrimp spring rolls were really tasty! For dinner we had the salmon and the swordfish special. The salmon dish was bland. The swordfish itself was decent, but the lentils and spinach it was served over was not tasty at all. It was a bunch of mush! For dessert I had the chocolate chip sundae topped with pumpkin gelato. That was delicious! The food overall was decent, but not great. I’ll give it another shot.

Excellent food and excellent, friendly service- had the chicken avocado club and it was a flavor bomb- lots of great stuff going on there. Wife had a lobster roll, which she said was one of best she’s ever had outside State of Maine. Will definitely be back- people could not have been nicer. Wish this place was closer to my house- would eat there 3 times a week!

I’ve been here a few times and I’ve never been disappointed. The calamari are amazing. The pizzas are fleshly made and delicious. White sangria or the mule are my drinks of choice. Definitely a great date night place or dinner and drinks with friends. Kid friendly as well. Outside dinning is available.

Really good food. Decent vegetarian options and the staff was very kind and helpful. The menu items can be customized to your dietary preferences which is great. Went here to celebrate good friends marriage and they were very kind.

One of my girlfriends and I got together to get brunch. When I arrived I parked in their private lot. I walked in and found my friend. We sat at the high tops and Brandon was our server. He was really good and attentive. For my drink I got the espresso martini and it was very tasty. For my meal I got the fish tacos. The tacos were good but super messy. My friend got a salad and she liked it. It was truly a good experience.

I haven been going to Gusto since it first opened. Some places go downhill over time, but Gusto has been consistent with their food and drinks. The wait staff is very attentive and special thank you to Kareem who always remembers my favorite drink. The owner also donates a percentage to the Make-A-Wish foundation.
