I have been going here for years. I have never been disappointed. The food is exceptional, fresh and authentic. The beauty of this place is that the menu is extensive featuring seafood Italian style, steaks, and appetizers and the desserts are the bomb!! Can't beat the Spumoni with dark chocolate!!! I am a vegetarian and they are gracious about making dishes to your liking. None of this "We don't vary from our menu" response. If you want a little more garlic, you get it. The servers are phenomenal and lots of fun. Patty, is beautiful and is always ready to please you. All the guys including the owner are bilingual for those who do not speak English. The owner Juan is super nice! He never stops helping the servers and visits every table to ensure that the customers are satisfied. They also host private parties, events, wine tasting sessions, etc. Try this wonderful place, you won't be sorry! read more

One of the best Italian joints I've ever been to in my life. Coming from the East Coast, Italian Restaurants are a dime a dozen. The owners take special care of you, and have done an outstanding job on maintaining the quality of the food of the years. If you're looking for quality food and a reasonable price and right off the 405.. this is the spot. read more

Wow has this place gone from meh to terrible. Made a reservation for 7pm on a Saturday. Walked in to a restaurant that was 2/3 empty. Stood for a while with no greeting. Then the woman seemed put off that we were asking to be seated and put us right next to the kitchen even though the place was empty. Service was expectedly slow and their air conditioning couldn't keep up so it was hot. Waitress was odd and unfriendly. House white wine was awful. The entrees were all overcooked, chicken and shrimp dishes. Everything was flavorless. Even the bread rolls were stale and dry and never refilled. 4th visit. Will not return. read more

Buon Gusto - Pasta combo - Italian Near Me - Mission Hills, California

Mmmm, it was just an ok experience. Service was fine, but the food was just largely forgettable. Perhaps it was a little unfair for me to ask for a pasta dish that was in one of the Yelp photos but has since been taken off the menu, but I just felt underwhelmed by my Farfalle alla Buon Gusto. A pasta dish that shares the name of the restaurant should wow me, but in the end, it was the artichoke and the black olives that did the heavy lifting. The sauce lack distinct flavor, other than being quite oily. The Chicken Marsala that my dad got was a bit better at least. The chicken breaat was tender, the marsala wine sauce was an improvement, and the pasta tasted good. Lastly, the espresso was fine. A subtle sweet dark chocolate with a hint of bitter that suggests a dark roast. Not a lot of nuance, but a pretty good, straightforward cup nonetheless. read more

We came to Buon Gusto for the reception after our friend's funeral. We were greeted by a wonderful staff. I actually was wondering how well things we're going to go with as many people we had in our party along with them having their regular customers. It went very well. In particular, we were blessed to have Edwin as our server. He was super attentive and so friendly. While my wife and I live quite a distance away in Whittier, I can actually say that we would be happy to come back when we're on the area based on Edwin's amazing service. That's not even adding how good the food was! read more

Buon Gusto means good taste in Italian. Nice strip mall osterìa. Adequate wine list featuring good Italian wine varietals. Large dining room for our group dining of 21 guests. 1) Well executed Calamaretti Fritti of small firefly squid some that are meaty rings and others that are the head-mini tentacles. Light, crispy batter, and oil that they are fried in is fresh and sweet. Accompanied by a thick Salsa Marinara (mah ree nah rah) and wedge of lemon that I squeezed into the sauce instead of directly on the Calamari to preserve its crispness. 2) Meat Lasagna is big, almost good enough for a meal. Well constructed with almost al dente, chewy, thick, corrugated sheet pasta. Good slug of white Ricotta & stretchy Mozzarella. Clumps of ground beef and an acidic, bright red tomato Salsa Marinara that was a good foil to the heavier ingredients. (Couldn't vouch it was a Salsa Bolognese which is a meat sauce cooked for hours into a brown sauce finish. ) However, Buon Gusto pulled through with a very nice Southern Italian version of an iconic Piatto Italiano. 3) Veal Mona/Vitello a la Mona: The veal is covered with flour and gently pan fried. It's to the cook's credit that the veal was not overcooked into stiff, dry, mealy cardboard. It was moist, firm yet had a plushness. Sauce was a sweet Marsala wine sauce which was OK. Perhaps a light acidic red wine sauce with an herbal infusion would have been a better pairing. Still a better executed veal than at other Ristoranti. Nice medley of carrots, zucchini, broccoli that seemed slightly steamed and then sautéed in a light oil. Capellini d'Angelo/angel hair pasta was the main carb. 1-2a) Montepulciano d'Abruzzo: Red wine with a juicy, high dark blackberry factor with a pepperiness. Light in bitter tannins. Higher acidity to refresh the palate. Good pairing for tomato based Italian food. Food at Buon Gusto may not be Alta Cucina Italiana like Vivi in North Hollywood nor Grano in Duarte, but more than acceptable for those seeking a good meal at a reasonable price that doesn't break the bank. 4- stars read more

Amazing service. Amazing food. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend. I order the vegetable lasagna and my husband had the spaghetti and ravioli. We were both impressed by our meals. read more

After reading the highly questionable plethora of positive reviews, we decided to try eating from here again and sit inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We walked in at 5:20, thinking the place would have early diners, but not too many to be crowded. Not only was it empty (website stated open all day) but one of the workers WAS MOPPING DOWN and scrubbing the entire floor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It reeked from an over abundance of very industrial strength Pine Sol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is what they do during the dinner hour?? He said "be careful, it's really wet." What?!? We sat down and a surly older blonde waitress plopped down the (sticky) menus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My husband said he was feeling nauseous from the fumes, so we left.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Disappointed yet again. read more

I can't believe it took us almost ten years of living in Granada Hills to find this place. The staff is amazing and the food is authentic Italian. Service can be slow when they are busy but the staff and food make up for it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a great place to enjoy a meal with friends and family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tip - ask for crayons for the kids to draw and play games on the paper while you wait![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

A really nice little hole in the wall spot in Mission Hills. We came in for dinner and had the Chicken Marsala and the daily special, which had shrimp and noodles with a kind of licorice-flavored sauce (very interesting and unique!), and both were very good. The chicken was tender, and the Marsala sauce was rich and flavorful. The special was fresh and light. If I had any comments on the special, it would be that I felt a little hungry still at the end of the meal from my order of the daily special. It came with 6 shrimp and about 2/3 of the pasta I would have expected at a family-style Italian restaurant, and I felt like it needed at least a few more shrimp and more noodles to get me a little fuller. The vibe in the restaurant was cozy and inviting. The music was classic and fun. It felt like the perfect backdrop for a relaxed dinner. The service was low-key and easygoing, and they were great about checking in on drinks without overdoing it. One of the highlights was the little heart-shaped breads they brought out before the meal. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and want some tasty Italian comfort food in a friendly setting. But next time, I'll be getting the chicken parm! read more

Was looking for a place that served great Italian yum yums and this place popped up due to the great reviews. Its situated in its own corner, parkingvmay be a little tight but i think you can park on the side street right next to the resturant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is really nice, with a romantic vibe to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We didnt have to wait at all and were seated quickly. Our server patti was very warm and friendly and took our orders and brought some nice fresh bread, and continued to check on us and refill our drinks. I got the meat lasagna which the portion was pretty big. The wifey got the seafood soup or gazpacho which she said was very flavorful. The kiddos got the picata chicken and spaghetti. Both were good with no complaints. Definitely coming back here to try other items on the menu. read more

My family has been to this restaurant a few times and has had a great experience every single time. We recently came here for lunch and the food was delicious .

Unacceptable. Reservation for a 70th birthday celebration made a week in advance. I was not informed of the wine tasting event happening at the same time. Our table was not ready. Party was moved twice. We had to wait for a table liner, we were short place settings, no water or wine glasses on the table. We had to ask multiple times for the various missing items. Servers were pleasant but inexperienced (one of my guests had to instruct on how to cork the wine bottle!) The manager was not particularly available or helpful. He barely helped with getting us seated but didn't check in at all. We have celebrated other occasions at Buon Gusto but sadly this one was disappointing and overall mediocre at best. read more
