    Once again Chef Alessandro delivers a memorable meal filled with bold flavors and amazing service. Only difference was now we can experience this for lunch! Not often you find a restaurant that is this consistent with a chef/owner that makes you feel warm and welcomed. Thanks Chef!

    The food at Gusto Divino was delicious. I had the Veal Saltimbocca and my wife had the grilled skirt steak. Both dishes were awesome! The waiters are friendly and service was exceptional. We will definitely dine there again.

    Absolutely loved this place!! Went to celebrate a friends birthday and they see the table with a happy birthday sign. The food was outstanding not a single complaint. One of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had and the cosmo was great too. The people and service were super attentive and nice! The music was such a vibe. We had a reservation at 8 so that was around when the dj started. If you don’t like very loud house music i wouldn’t say this place is for you at night lol.. but the music was awesome it was definitely loud but I wasn’t screaming at my friends to have a conversation. Will be going back !!
