Buon Gusto means ‘good taste’ in Italian. We strive to bring you the ‘good taste’ of Italy in all aspects of our restaurant. Located in the historic Victoria Hotel building in St. George’s Square in Downtown Guelph, Buon Gusto is warm and casual with exposed stone walls and a contemporary interior design. Our wood-burning oven, made in Reggello, Tuscany is ‘il cuore’ (the heart) of Buon Gusto. We import molino caputo tipo 00 flour and San Marzano tomatoes from Italy, to make our pizzas in the traditional Neapolitan thin-crust style, hearth-baking them at 900 degrees Fahrenheit for just 90 seconds. Our menu also features pastas made from family recipes and small-plates of antipasti, perfect for sharing with family and friends.

The word ‘Miijidaa’ is from the Ojibway language that loosely translates to “let’s eat”. It's a celebration of our roots, foods, wine + brews; a chance to showcase cuisines that influenced our culinary landscape and to show off our northern bounty.There are many influences in what has come to define "Canadian" cuisine starting with the First Nations, followed by the influences of the French, English, Vikings, Portuguese and more. Our menu is a modern take on our northern gastronomic history with each cuisine and tradition inspiring the tapestry of our culinary landscape that we hope to celebrate on our menu.

Our experience was wonderful. We appreciated the flexibility of the staff in accommodating a last minute accommodation of an extra person to our party. Other than a somewhat surly hostess who greeted and seated us the whole evening was fabulous. Shout out to our server Brie who was pleasant and personable. She was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed great interaction and she assisted us in staying within our time frame to ensure we made the event we were attending right after. Food was scrumptious! Beverages were delicious. Service was spot on. Would definitely recommend to others. Thanks for helping us make our family event enjoyable.

Excellent service, not cheap but not unreasonable for the quality of food. Like the idea of taking any wine home that wasn't drunk. Didn't get seating next to the fireplace as requested but since they don't have one I guess they can be forgiven. Thanks Michael for the friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended for a special evenig for the annual Christmas dinner with my eldest daughter.
