Reviews for Gustoso Italian Restaurant in Pagosa Springs, CO

Would we return? Unlikely. We were promptly greeted and seated. Our orders were promptly taken and meals served. Service was... very good, and the establishment was quaint and comfortable. We felt the Spaghetti & Meatballs (with 2 extra) was average inflavor - a bit bland, nothing unique. Though, the meatballs are huge! They are about the size of a tennis ball! The LambretaChicken Panini was fairly nice, but if I were to order again, I'd ask for less cheese so not to mask the flavor of the otheringredients. We also had a Sangria Rosso which was bland...it seemed to lack a natural fruit flavor - we are not sure if it wasthe schnapps or the wine that was used.. Read more

Probably some of the best pasta I've ever eaten. I got the fettuccini Alfredo with Chicken and it was delicious. A bit of a long... wait but they provided appetizers. 10/10 would definitely eat here again. Read more

We ordered takeout last night. My eggplant parm was burned and not at all crisp. Parts of the spaghetti were cold as if straight... out of the refrigerator. I am certain the plate had been pre-made and then not properly heated. Gross. Tonight I was planning toput the eggplant in the oven to crisp it up. Covered by the spaghetti was a partially eaten chicken breast! I called tocomplain, and was simply told ?sorry about that, ma?am.? Unacceptable. We will not be eating there again. Read more

We were very hungry for dinner when we got to Gustoso, having spent the day visiting Mesa Verde. We ordered calamari, pepperoni... pizza, the Trio, and the chicken parm. Food came fast and the portions were generous; there was also a basket of cheesebreadsticks. We spent over $100, after tax and tips, however, there were enough leftovers for 3 of us for a light lunch the nextday (we warmed the leftovers at our hotel). The restaurant was quaint, with some stereotypical Italian decor. There was outdoorpatio seating as well as indoors. The wait staff were polite. The food was good and hearty, and was served prettily. The chickenpieces in the chicken parm was crispy and thick, the spaghetti was al dente, the Trio consisted of a large meatball, a largeitalian sausage and pasta with the right amount of spices, pizza was thin sliced and the house salad was delicious as well.There's a wine list as well but we didn't order any since we were driving to our next hotel an hour away. It was a popularrestaurant as there was a line of people when we left. Plenty of parking spaces. If you need Wifi, the password is therestaurant's telephone number Read more

I really adore this restaurant but I must say in recent years the price versus the amount of food has become out of balance in... my opinion. I paid $21.95 for Lobster Ravioli and I received 8 Ravioli. I feel like that is way too much money for the amount offood I received. I couldn't help but wonder if someone with a larger appetite ordered this meal they may have left hungry. Read more

Excellent food and service! We eat here every time we come to Pagosa once a year and are always pleased! You have to try the... spicy calamari, so yummy! Highly recommend this restaurant! Read more

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. The Ceasar salad was fantastic! Garlic bread was perfect. We ordered the Chicken... Piccata and the chicken Parmisian. The meat was tender, the sauces were spot on and the portions were large. Our server,Jessica, was informative, prompt, and attentive. This is a must in Pagosa Springs!!!!! Read more

When you pay almost $20 for a dish you expect a half decent experience. We waited 20 minutes for a party of 2 waited 45 minutes... before we were told that the kitchen lost our tickets. The bread tasted like it was toasted on flat top sprayed with Pam, theside salad was very mediocre, and the lasagna was presented like it was thrown on a plate from across the room and why I assumeto hide the fact that the noodles were burnt. I won't return Read more
