    It wasn't just a dinner, it was a dining experience on steroids! We sat the bar and had the pleasure of meeting Reeves who ushered us through multiple courses of exquisite culinary masterpieces along with the perfect pairing of cocktails and wine. It was truly a masterpiece of Italian dining wrapped in a fantastic setting with an expert guide (Reeves) leading us along a path of decadence. We will definitely return! ❤️

    The food was awesome! The Amalfi pizza is well worth the hype - one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. The portion size of the frito misto was large. The spaghetti amatriciana was spicy but delicious. Each of the dishes had lots of lemon which was surprising but good! The space itself is small which means you’re sitting really close to others and can easily hear their conversation. It’s loud even though it’s small. The service was somewhat slow too. It seemed like there was only one waiter for the whole restaurant. He was good but seemed to have too many tables to manage.

    Gusto is a gem out here near Sloan's Lake. We picked this restaurant first for their menu, then location, then were thrilled to learn they are a sister restaurant in the ChoLon group (which also happens to have a location next door). The Italian wine selection was good (and it was nice to have the help of our waiter guide us through the many appellations), the cocktails were well done and not overly fussy and the menu balances between shared plates and some entree size portions. The restaurant is cozy and even though it is a little limited in size, you can feel like you get a private seating area whether on a date or in a group. It was a very cold night outside and the breeze was noticeable even at our booth at the back of the restaurant... but hey, we live in Colorado (vestibule?). All of our food was excellent, from the Wagyu meatballs to the house favorite lasagna... the gnocchi was probably our most talked about dish. An excellent meal with great food, service, location, design, drinks and friends. We'll be back and you should go!

    Good food, cool space. However we were not so politely told there was a reservation that needed our table after we had been there for 1 hour.

    A small, quiet, and charming restaurant. Everything was delicious, perhaps because they share the kitchen with the always excellent Cholon.

    Enjoyed our first time here. The Beef Ravioli was delicious, however the Spaghetti Amatriciana was much spicier than expected. Good selection of wines.
