    Nice environment, friendly staff, home cooked food! Best of all, if you’re not a big eater, half-orders are available on many dishes!

    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.
