    The restaurant is lovely, high ceilings and muted decor. The food and service were both fabulous. I'll be back to try another dish, the flavors and presentation are 5 star. Love the grilled Caesar salad.

    Had a great meal at The Gusto Grande. The shrimp appetizer was great as well as the soup. The arugula salad with golden beets was very filling and flavourful. For mains, the beef tenderloin with shrimp and mashed was cooked to perfection. The mussels, shrimp and salmon main was very good as well. Topped it all off with a specialty coffee and the limencello dessert. Service was great as well. Highly recommend it.

    We have visited Gusto Grande for Valentine's Day twice and have been happy both times. Our food (Gnocchi Primavera and Pasta Aragosta) was excellent! We also loved our app of mussels. We were a little disappointed in that our request for a window could not be met although there were empty tables in all 3 rooms at 2:30. But it is a busy day.... One other comment regarding our server; first of all she was friendly and efficient. We would however, suggest that she be acquainted with the wine list. My partner asked about a particular wine and our server simply brought her the bottle to read. This is training. We enjoy the atmosphere, the food and service!

    Despite our server not realizing we were her table which left us sitting for a little longer than usual, no biggie at all! We were well served & checked in on the right times (without a mouthful of food) & had an amazing time. 10/10

    Its a nice restaurant with a pleasant decore. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. The food was good, not spectacular, but cooked properly and tasty. It was nice to have a meal in a restaurant and not have any difficulty holding a conversation. We will go back again
