   The seafood risotto special was fabulous. I had it w/a white sauce that was delicious. It was chock full of shrimp, mussels, scallops and clams and the risotto was very flavorful. We had plenty of leftovers to take home for additional meals too. Portion sizes are excellent and worth the otherwise slightly high cost for lunch.

   Was there for 2.5 hours, had one appetizer (after a long wait) and NEVER received our entrees. Talked to the owner and she was rude and dismissive. She made excuses and seemed annoyed that I was inquiring about our meals. A truly terrible dining experience. We will NEVER be back.

   This was our first visit. Place was packed and loud. Were promptly greeted upon our arrival. Server was friendly and kept us on a good pace - and was a great wine pourer. Food was outstanding and everyone walked out with tomorrow’s meal. Nice job renovating but a bit too loud. Desserts were great. Prices very reasonable considering quantity and quality. Glad to have Il Gusto in Cheshire! We’ll be back.

   I ordered a burger only to find out they didn't have any. A restaurant without burgers? I ordered a shrimp cocktail, which was okay. Also, where we were seated a women was so close on the side of our table, she kept flinging her hair almost landing on our table and in our food. I, most likely, will not return.

   Overall I thought the place was very good. It was a very busy night so I’ll give my waiter a pass for not being attentive. The rest of the staff filled in and salvaged what I would have deemed not acceptable. Food was delicious and overall a good experience. I will return another day and give it a try.

   Would earn 5 stars if they can take steps to absorb the noise. Not bad on this particular evening, but past experience has been too noisy to have a table conversation. Otherwise, excellent.
