    The food and service were excellent when we recently celebrated a family birthday with dinner for 4 on Saturday night. The Server, Sarah, was excellent, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend!

    Our first time at Gusto Grande. The food was amazing. Great atmosphere. Excellent service. The Budiono AL Limoncello was most likely the best dessert that I have had in many years. Can’t wait to go back!

    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.
