Great food as always. Really enjoy coming here when we are in town. The service is good, and the food is unique and very tasty. Its great to have found an italian place that has such an excellent selection of traditional and new items. And lets not forget their amazing dessert selection that they make in house. We will for sure be back.

DELICIOUS food, affordable for the quality. You have to have a reservation to dine-in, but I ordered to-go and ate in my hotel room. The seafood was so well-cooked, and they have many unique cheesecake options to choose from. I will always visit Gusto anytime I’m in the area.

Pity as the venue is great with attractive and welcoming setting. Food was not that great - but perhaps the pasta dishes maybe better as we read many excellent reviews before we booked.The chicken and salmon with vegetable we had were very bland and tasteless.The display of cakes downstairs were amazing.

I like the lighting of the restaurant and choose to celebrate my birthday here. However, my friend and I started ordering at 8:00 and did not serve until around 9:40. This experience is simply too bad 👎, we waited for more than an hour. And when we communicated with the waiter, she said that the reason is that steak production takes a long time. We waited until the surrounding guests had left before starting to eat, and finally, the waiter said that they would give away some small cakes as compensation. But my friends and I are very disappointed, this is my worst birthday experience.

We ate at Gusto for the first time and it was a pleasure. Although it was busy the staff was very accommodating and got us seated very quickly. The staff were very personable, kind and lovely to speak with. There were many food options it was hard to pick but everything we had was amazing. We will absolutely be going again.

Absolutely outstanding food and service. The prices are very fair for the quality and portions. We had the seafood pasta, the Italiano Mac and Cheese, scallops, and the kids had pizzas. Super spectacular ! Lovely service from Diana who was so kind and patient with our kids, and recommended a fantastic wine. Can’t wait for our next trip to Moncton so we can eat here again. I recommend reserving in advance if you can, it was very busy and rightfully so !

Superb food. Everything tasted delicious and our server (Sebastianwas super helpful and efficient. We had gusto pizza, burrata, salmon, seafood risotto, and goat cheese ravioli. The atmosphere was a little noisy for a family dinner, but maybe thats the typical vibe for this place and I was unaware as a visitor from Ontario.

The wait staff was amazing, food was amazing, drinks were amazing, atmosphere was great, host was good. However, I think they have too much seating. It is very very crowded inside, it was practically as though we were sitting with the people at tables next to us and I could hardly hear my lovely date who was sitting less than 50 centimetres across from me. I think they allow way too many people inside and they should reduce capacity by 25%. Plus, the parking lot is quite small so it is very hard to get a space. Someone actually dinged my car door lol. Also, our reservation was for 8:30pm, and we ordered cheesecake after our meal. The cheesecake was so stale the whipped cream flaked off. Also, it is not 100% cheesecake. It was about 25-50% cheesecake (depending on flavour you orderedand the rest a sponge cake, which is bizarre, unappealing and perhaps a cost cutting measure? It was $11 a slice. Otherwise a good experience.

Reserved at Gusto last night for 6PM with my son. All was well until I got to the second last bite of my dish. On the food was a long strand of dark hair. I didnt mention it to our waitress as she was a super host. Instead, I thought Id post a review here. I realize that at times things such as this can happen but regardless; its so disgusting to see a persons hair stuck to your pasta.

Had the absolute best dinner here! My boyfriend and I were visiting Moncton for the first time and came across Gusto, With amazing service fromhostesses and servers, the best food, we had the Spaghettini and Meatballs, and the Steak Toscado. We also had the spinach dip as an app, which was HUGE in portion, we had to stop eating it so we didn’t ruin our appetite! They also brought us out dried herb with oil to mix ourselves and dip the softest bread into as well. Overall amazing experience and i would recommend!!

Known for their cheesecake and their limoncello sangria I have actually not had any of it either of my visits but can definitely confirm that their pasta is to die for 😍We had the arrancini and fettucine the first time, and my second time I had the lasagne classico with a berry spritz to drink. The ambiance is cozy and rustic and the staff are wonderfully attentive and excellent at what they do. Highly recommend Gustos for a night out to remember 👌

This was an absolute must while visiting Muncton. It wasn’t a cheap restaurant, but it was an absolutely lovely evening out. It was clear that everything on the menu was created with care. The wood fired over was absolutely beautiful and it has an open kitchen which shows they use high quality ingredients and standards.We had a GF person in our party and they said it was the best GF pizza they’ve ever had. My pasta was divine, clearly made from scratch with every piece of seafood cooked perfectly. The 1$ an ounce house wine was absolutely lovely.The atmosphere was a lovely moody lighting, and though it seemed loud when we entered the volume at the table was low enough we could easily converse. The service was personable and lovely. A big shout out to Dan.My only complaint was that the crust on our delicious dessert was very dry and grainy. Otherwise the cheesecake was light and fluffy and perfectly cooked if not a little too sweet, but that’s just being nit picky. Definitely get the desserts to share.

Always a great time. Prices are up there yeah, but the portions are huge (definitely leaving with some leftoversand it tastes really good. Last time I went the sauce could have used some more salt but the time before that it was perfect so likely just a hiccup in the kitchen.

Best GF meal we’ve had in a restaurant. We had the fettuccine Alfredo, cast iron pan fried scallops and the mixed salad. The pasta was so amazing I’d give it a higher rating than 5/5 if I could! Looking forward to going back real soon!

Great restaurant, big portions.Classic Italian dishes here.I ordered the chicken parmigiana and a Caesar salad to share. Both were quite big, but good.At the end, we had to take home left overs.Music was blasting for an Italian restaurant and we sat near a bridal party. Great for large parties, overwhelming for small groups

Ate at Gusto last month; the food was excellent, but what stood out was the service, which was the BEST restaurant service I have ever had!Unfortunately I have now forgotten the servers name, but she was friendly, attentive, and helpful and clearly loved her job. Thanks again, was really an enjoyable experience!

Tasty food, but a bit expensive given the portions. Busy place, would recommend booking a reservation. Nice atmosphere, quite dimly lit. Tables packed in quite close to each other so not much social distancing when it comes to eating here. Huge slice of free cake after mentioning we were out for a birthday, which was a total unexpected but pleasant surprise!

A large two storey Italian restaurant off of the main downtown strip with a very dimly lit but warm ambience! Very busy during dinner service on a weekday so a reservation would be recommended. There is an open kitchen that you can observe from a distance and the chefs and cooks are all working hard to prepare these meals quickly!We started with bruschetta, calamari and mussels, all of which were delicious. The mussels were a generous portion and cooked with garlic, cream, microgreens; a classic combo that Ive learned to love on our trip out east. The calamari was delicately battered and fried and was extremely tender and crispy; perfect with a squeeze of lemon juice.We then had the seafood mac and cheese to split; it came with a two pieces of scallop and shrimp and 3 smaller chunks of lobster. It was mostly marscapone cheese and arugula with breadcrumbs and long mac noodles. Would recommend that you avoid ordering given ratio of seafood to pasta since its $32.We were gifted with a very generous slice of birthday cake after informing the service that we were celebrating a birthday! Very thoughtful. Overall a good experience and would definitely recommend for large groups given the options for sharing and the beautiful wall of wines and drinks (we did not order any).

Below average food for an above average price.The atmosphere is cozy and the service was reasonably good, but the food was mediocre... Flavourless pizza, poorly planned dishes. There are lots of better restaurants in Moncton, so please keep looking!

This was my second Excellent experience at Gustos in two weeks.We had a reservation for four. We arrived on time, were greeted and promptly taken to our table. It was on the top floor with a view of the kitchen. The lights were low and the ambience was sophisticated.Our waitress has a wonderful and refreshing personality and energy. She was thoroughly professional and did a great job.We started with cocktails. I had an Unusual Negrino which was delicious. My wife had a Sangrini which she loved.We ordered our food and were provided with a bread course. This is sliced baguette served with olive oil and an herb mix in. It was tasty. Our main course was served before the bread was finished. We decided to go without pasta in keeping with our nutritional goals.I chose a crusted salmon with roasted PEI mini potatoes and steamed broccoli. The fish was cooked properly and was well seasoned. The portion was good. The presentation in the plate was nice.My wife had Chicken Marsala with the same PEI mini potatoes and brocolli. The chicken was boneless and roasted. It was served with a dark sauce which was good, but the Marsala wine was understated. She took half home.We concluded by splitting a peanut butter cheesecake slice. The portion was typically huge and we took half of it home. The cheescake was very good, but was just one layer, the rest was cocolate cake and icing. The portion size is just too much. We also had tea.The bill came to $130 with a 20% gratuity. I felt this was reasonable for the dinner with drinks and desert.Gustos is a sophisticated and thoroughly enjoyable experience. It is one of the better restaurants in Moncton.

3 stars is generous.. very disappointed as We were really excited to try this restaurant, however pasta taste like no flavour, cheese pizza was super salty my kids can’t eat. Also we barely seen the waitress, she didn’t ask how the food was, and she forced to order one menu each even we already had 2 big plate for appetizer. 🫥

This was a birthday request of mine as my wife and I have falling in love with the atmosphere and food at Gusto.Highly recommend everyone try their pizza cooked in a brick and copper domed oven.Options are plenty, portions are large and the taste itself is brilliant!Dont forget to treat yourself to the cheesecake it is too good to not at least take home for later.

The place has an amazing vibe going. Loved the food. Especially the steak was awesome. They have an amazing pizza fire oven which is a delight to watch. The only thing that disappointed is the wait time to get what we ordered. Apart from that is an amazing place.

High hopes, service was initially excellent and the starter was really good. Messed up the order, not attentive, hidden table, long wait for bill, had to skip dessert. Mains were good, maybe a little salty. Id say its a good place but probably inconsistent.

Amazing spot to go. As you can see the desserts are amazing and the prices are fair. If looking to eat in certain evenings I suggest calling in to see if reservations are needed. We didnt know and had to sit at the amazing and extremely friendly bar..so needless to say I wasnt put off. A great place. Great staff and fair prices. I suggest to go when in the city!

We called last night to have dinner at 8:30 pm as we were late to get out of Bay of Fundy after walking around during low tide. Turns out the restaurant closes at 9 pm (so does every other restaurant in Moncton on Sundays. We’re from Toronto; so this was a surprise). The staff were nice enough to seat us by the bar. We had the seafood risotto - it was amazing! And a delicious “ultimate caprese” pizza. Service could have been better as they never even offered us water but the servers seemed busy and eager to wrap up after a long day. Overall happy with the food.

Took us in without a reservation on a busy Friday night and the service was still awesome. Food was top notch, had the bruschetta and mussels as appetizers, excellent both, had to drink the broth from the mussels...so good. The lasagna was agreed upon by all who tasted (4 of usthat it was the best we ever had and lots of it, the spaghetini and meatballs was delicious and its the only restaurant Ive eaten in where they give you a good enough sized portion, the chicken marsala was on point the black truffle was a great compliment to it and the mashed potatoes had a beautiful flavor and texture.Highly recommended

Visited Moncton for an overnight stay, and decided to come here for dinner. I did takeout due to covid (I visited mid-October). I had the lasagna based on staff recommendation and the petit cheesecakes.The quality of the takeout is acceptable and the portions are more than enough. The lasagna was so delicious! Even after reheating it, it was cheesy good. AND, they provide bread and balsamic vinegar as well. Kudos to you! I am unsure how it is as dine-in, but I was surprised to see bread included. I didnt need to order the cheesecake, but the dessert was so good, but a tad sweet. Overall, I would recommend takeout if you are not comfortable with dine-in.

Visited Gusto while passing through Moncton. It was quite a struggle to find a restaurant that could accommodate a gluten allergy. I would recommend Gusto to anyone dining with a dietary restriction. They go above and beyond to safely prepare a delicious meal. I had the Risotto Alle Frutti Di Mare, and my companion had the Italiano Mac and Cheese, made gluten-free by request. Both dishes were excellent, although I was somewhat jealous of the meal across from me, as the Mac and Cheese looked and tasted amazing! I had the Carrot Cake Della Nonna, as you can see the portion is very large so make sure you have room or get it to go! They also serve some of their desserts in a mini size, my mate got the mini Chocolate Torta, which was tasty and more manageable.

Downtown Moncton NB. Absolutely beautiful.Ambiance is second to none. Our server, Sebastian, was extremely helpful. Food and desserts exceptional. Try their various cheesecakes. You can order a plate with 4 different cheesecake so you can share and sample different types. Just an exceptional Italian restaurant. I definitely will be back

Located just off of Main St. Moncton, Gusto Restaurant is a very good choice to eat. The food was fantastic and the choice of different meals was great. Something for eveyone.Covid protocols were all in place and followed by all. You need to be double vaccinated to enter and all staff are masked as they should be.The only thing that kept it from a 5 star rating was that it is just a little pricey. A little over $100 for two with only one if us having an alcoholic beverage.

We went there, couldnt get a table but nice setup to eat at the bar, the waiter was super nice and the food is great. Point to note the food size is quite big if you dont eat a lot of food. Quite disappointed by the waiters attitude when we gave the tip (we gave quite a big tipbut the waiter sounded like flat, probably wanting more so we were a bit off because of it. Otherwise nice restaurant.
