    The service was great, our waitress was very friendly and easy to talk to. The ambiance was great, decor was nice and restaurant was very clean. It was chilly and maybe the heat could have been turned on because the temperature had dropped. The menu covered all the basis for Italian food, but wasn’t great. The food wasn’t bad, but nothing stood out to be great. The flavours were basic, not flavourless but also not outstanding. Example, Both our pastas had grilled chicken, but the chicken pieces were diced into very small squares. Sometimes too many options on the menu can cause for lack of quality. The portion sizes were good, the amount of toppings in the dishes were good. I had an espresso martini and it had a very strong coffee taste. The pricing is comparable to many other basic Italian restaurants. We are always glad to try new places and weren’t disappointed, but it wouldn’t be our first choice if we wanted pasta / Italian food again.

    The food was amazing and our group of five friends were able to hear each other due to the arrangement of the tables! Our server was great and ensured we had everything we needed! Love the Caesar Salad!!!

    The food was good but it was difficult to have a conversation with my elderly friend due to the high level of background noise.

    This is my second time going to gusto grande. Definitely recommend it for great food, beautiful high-end feeling atmosphere with extremely reasonable prices. Their lunch menu is small but has options to please everybody. At $15 a meal you can’t beat it.  Why get fast food when you can have gourmet Italian for pretty much the same price.

    This is our absolute favourite restaurant in Lindsay. The food, the wine, the ambience, the staff is all top shelf. It’s not just a restaurant, it is an experience. And, if the chef is reading this, please please please put the lamb chops on the every day menu and not just for the occasional special. The lamb chops are divine!!
