    Everything was great! Great service, great food, and nice ambience. I had the grilled calamari and Burrata, My wife had the linguine alle vongole. But I missed the focaccia in the bread basket. Maybe they ran out. The place was packed ...

    We had asked for a quieter table for my 91 year old stepmother who doesn’t hear very well even with hearing aids and the wonderful owner took it upon himself to get us just the right table and to make sure she was comfortable. The food was fabulous and the prices were excellent. We will be back. What a gem of a place.

    The food at Gran Gusto never disappoints. Our food was served piping hot, flavorful, and pleasingly plated. The service was attentive, but not hovering. A very satisfying and enjoyable meal was our experience yesterday evening and whenever we've eaten at this restaurant.

    We took my mother-in-law to Gean Gusto for her birthday lunch, and it was fantastic. The owner was very nice and treated my mother-in-law like he would treat his own mother. The food was delicious! My mother-in-law got the bolognese, my husband got the lasagna, I got a salad, and then we split a large salami & cheese platter, which was the best charcuterie platter we've had in a restaurant. The wine and Aperol spritz were great too, but what was really impressive was the made-to-order coffee. My husband and I have been talking about how we can't wait to go back for dinner. I am also planning a dinner here with my girlfriends. Definitely recommend Gran Gusto!

    Our second visit, food and value are exceptional. The seating for two people leaves almost no room between another table for two, causing a noisy, competing environment to have a discussion. Our first visit for two we sat at the bar, which felt more comfortable and private. Enjoy the food, value and the service from most of the staff.
