    We have visited Gusto Grande for Valentine's Day twice and have been happy both times. Our food (Gnocchi Primavera and Pasta Aragosta) was excellent! We also loved our app of mussels. We were a little disappointed in that our request for a window could not be met although there were empty tables in all 3 rooms at 2:30. But it is a busy day.... One other comment regarding our server; first of all she was friendly and efficient. We would however, suggest that she be acquainted with the wine list. My partner asked about a particular wine and our server simply brought her the bottle to read. This is training. We enjoy the atmosphere, the food and service!

    Despite our server not realizing we were her table which left us sitting for a little longer than usual, no biggie at all! We were well served & checked in on the right times (without a mouthful of food) & had an amazing time. 10/10

    The food, as usual, was excellent! I really enjoyed our server who was friendly and very helpful...he also did not rush us, and thank you for that! We will keep coming back to GG.

    Its a nice restaurant with a pleasant decore. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. The food was good, not spectacular, but cooked properly and tasty. It was nice to have a meal in a restaurant and not have any difficulty holding a conversation. We will go back again

    New to Lindsay. We were attending a show at Flato Theatre. Food was great especially the arugula and beet salad. Our pastas were delicious. Waiter was attentive. The limoncello crème brûlée was great. We also received a discount as it was my daughter’s birthday. Will definitely go again. Easy parking. Great for pre- show dinner.
