    The gusto bolognese was very good and enough to take home. The food service was a bit slow.

    Beer was superb. Food was good. Service was very friendly but a little slow. Maybe because of the Valentine’s Day rush. A good place for a drink and meal

    My husband and I went for a date night. Our server was wonderful. The food was excellent. For our appetizer we ordered the steak skewers which were super flavorful which came with homemade chips. For our entrees my husband had the chicken parm with vodka sauce and I had the chicken Milanese. Both excellent and generous portions so we both had leftovers. We will definitely be back soon.

    Food was either overcooked or no seasoning. The staff was friendly atmosphere was ok. Drinks were good, but ordered a burger and server didn’t ask temp- came out well done and dry. App was Asian pork but was very dry baked in a low tier sauce. Just tasted like a random sauce you get out of a bottle. Got a steak sandwich but the flavor didn’t match the dish. Manager noticed we didn’t eat it and immediately took it off the bill. Very kind staff. Very packed and barely got a reservation maybe it was an off night.
    Gusto GrillResponded on February 3, 2025
    Hello Victoria, we are sorry that you did not enjoy your recent experience at Gusto Grill. We do hope you come back but please note for future reference our burgers are cooked "smash style - no temps" which is one, noted on the menu hence why the server didn't ask you. Also the Korean Sticky Sauce on our rib appetizer is house-made, not from a bottle. Lastly, we are pleased the MOD immediately noticed an issue and took care of you and that you enjoyed our team.
