Mi Gusto Mucho! Ok so my Italiano is much more Spanish than Italian but you get the idea. We?ve been craving authentic Italian... since visiting Tuscany in August. We started the trip down memory lane with a Prosecco and Peroni. Next the broccoli smallplate! Delisicioso! Then the bistecca ala Florentina with rosemary potatoes! It hit the spot and brought back so many memoriesof our time in Tuscany! Bottles of wine are 40% off on Thursday so we indulged on a Super Tuscan. We wrapped things up withBudino and cappuccino! Jake, our server, made the night extra special. He was right there when we needed him, made greatrecommendations and was adept at carrying on a meaningful conversation! Thank you to Mike the bartender at Bold for recommendingthis place. We will definitely return and bring some friends! Read more

Food was pricey but delicious. For an Italian place, it didn't have any pasta dishes. However, the salmon dish was incredible,... and most dishes were at least quite good. Cocktails were pretty good. Wait staff was excellent. You will get small portions fora high price but the taste will be great. I didn't have a bad dish. Enjoy! Read more

Friendly staff, nice decor, and excellent food! What more could you want?! Staff: We were warmly greeted at the door by the... host, who asked if we had reservations. We did not, however arrived early enough that we had been taken to a seat immediately.Our server arrived shortly after and did NOT make the crucial mistake of asking if we wanted drinks right away, but did offerthe drink menu and some water which arrived with lemon. The manager also stopped by the table a couple of times and was veryfriendly. Our server that delivered the food was also extremely personable and knowledgeable of the menu as we had a couple ofrounds of food. The server explained it really well and left us without questions. Decor: If you had to been to the previousrestaurant that was in this location you would be hard-pressed to find any wisp of the old place. Gusto is adorned with verticalSubway tiles, white and blue. speaking of blue, the majority of the decor is in some shade of blue. Very cozy and hip at thesame time. Food: Gusto is all about sharing your food. The menu mentions small plates however the smallest plate that wereceived was still plenty of food for the two of us. We got risotto/speck balls and add tomato and burrata cheese salad tostart. The risotto balls were tasty, and cooked well. It's kind of hard to mess up tomato and cheese, it tasted fine. Being aFriday, it was Bistec Friday. We normally limit our meat intake, however, decided to get the porterhouse and rosemary potatoes.The steak was cooked perfectly and arrived sliced next to the bone. Potatoes were cooked well, but did not have very much of arosemary flavor. Because this is a BOLD property, we were secretly hoping that the dessert menu would have the wonderfulbudino. We were wonderfully surprised to see that it was on the menu! However, it was a chocolate version and left us wishingthat the BOLD version was on the menu instead. We also got the tiramisu and it was excellent. Wrap-up: Gusto Read more
