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.

    Exceeded expectations! The food was incredible! The service was top of the line. The ambience was delightful. This was our first time, but we will be returning. You will not be disappointed. I had the beef cheek which was so tender I didn't even need a knife. My partner had the pizza. They use the zero flour...just like in Italy.

    Our waitress was absolutely amazing, we have been so many times and she was by far the best,so personable, communicated so well and followed up at appropriate times. Was such a great experience , obviously the food was great and the atmosphere was great, but both of those always are great. And this time our server was really amazing. I believe her name might have been Alexis, but I'm not 100% sure. She would remember talking about my daughter's new boyfriend and telling us about Keg weddings
