    The server gave off an odd vibe. He had a bit of attitude at times, and seemed to be a bit frustrated even though he shouldn’t have been.

    Waitress was very attentive, didn't miss a thing! I love the decor and ambience. Good classic Italian fare, not over-priced.

    The wait staff is professional, attentive and welcoming. Julian always has time to personally welcome us and converse when he is not busy welcoming other customers. The food and atmosphere is old school Italian, one of my favorite cuisines having grown up in San Francisco. Our good friends and we enjoy our dinners at Buon Gusto every month.

    I’ve always heard that this established restaurant was good. Good old fashion Italian food with the feeling of Italy. The service was Exceptional. The 5 of us were treated so sweet & personally favored. It was a very special occasion for My Husband & I. They gave us a gift of service which started our lives with such joy & favor. We All look forward to coming back. Thank you Basha for your hospitality. It felt like home.

    Recommended by my sister who frequents San Francisco and often defaults to this restaurant. We are rarely in the area and were most delighted to experience the delicious food. A bit on the pricy side but worth the treat. We were seated immediately at a table for two, ordered and served very fast. Normally we would hang around and just enjoy the food and ambience but we were in a hurry so having things happen quickly fit our current desire. Next time, and there will be a next time we’ll sample the desert and linger. Thanks for a great experience.
