Seating area consists of 3 tables, and they've got one of those mini arcade games for the kiddos as well. Overall pretty small dining area but Gustine isn't a big city so didn'texpect a ton of seating. Menu is displayed on a couple of monitors in the wall as you come in. The pasta is cooked in an open kitchen right behind the counter as you order. Pretty neat to be able to watch them make your order. Ordered the Volcanic Fettuccine because who doesn't like a spicy Italian dish right? Got it in a bread bowl with added chicken so cost was just shy of 20 bucks because of the upgrades. Didn't end up eating on site because it was really close to closing time for them and didn't want to be "that guy" so took my order home. The fettuccine was really good, cooked well, and the sauce was actually spicy. Not as spicy as I was hoping it would be, but it did have a nice kick. I'd definitely have it again. Overall, nice family run place with home made pasta. Would have ordered a pizza, but they ran out of pizza dough, since it is house made they don't have any extra in the fridge/freezer like you'd expect at a lot of places. If you are in the Gustine area looking for some really good home made pasta check them out. Definitely worth the drive.

We travel a great deal across California and visit many different restaurants, and we must say that L'Gusto Cucina Italiana, located in the sleepy little town of Riverbank, CA, receives an A+. As you walk in the door, the mellow Italian music in the charming little dining room sets the mood for an authentic dining experience. Whether it's a special occasion or a casual lunch on the way to our home in Sonora, this is our favorite place to go when we want to pamper ourselves. Dining is a social experience for us, and we always look forward to the warm and friendly staff who always make us feel at home. Lunch or dinner is always an absolute delight. Their wine list perfectly complements their delicious selection of menu items. As a seafood enthusiast, we can say the salmon is a melt-in-your-mouth pleasure, consistently cooked to perfection. The Lemon Chicken Soup... Oh my. Everything is freshly made, including their wonderful soft bread rolls and scrumptious deserts. Needless to say, we plan on making it back there very soon as it has become one of our favorite places to enjoy an exceptional meal with first rate service. Paul and Francie Snell

Huge thank you to Abbie and Andrew for making the experience so great--attentive, friendly, and welcoming.

We originally planned to have Mexican food but I remembered I had a gift card to Vito's. Italian food is always a good idea! We arrived and noticed how busy the restaurant was, which always makes me happy to see. The hostess informed us it would be about a five minute wait which we thought was very nice considering how busy they were. She seated us at a small table for two and brought us water right away. Within a few minutes yummy warm bread was delivered to our table. I can never turn down warm freshly baked bread! Our server greeted us and took our orders. She gave good suggestions when we asked for assistance about the offerings which was appreciated. Our food was delivered nice and hot. We could tell she brought it as soon as it was plated. Both of our meals were very good! My husband ordered the lasagna and I ordered the shrimp scampi. The scampi sauce had a wonderful lemon garlic flavor that complemented the shrimp very nicely. We really enjoyed the ambience and good food at Vito's. We will definitely return soon!

We dined as a party of four for an early dinner Saturday…read more We were seated immediately and drinks were brought out right away (4 waters and 2 soft drinks), which was a great start. After that, the experience slowed down quite a bit. When ordering, the new menu was confusing. Everything is now essentially à la carte -- you order a meat or sandwich and then choose a side at an additional cost. We ordered one 3-meat combo with garlic fries, one 2-meat combo with mac & cheese, a tri-tip sandwich with garlic fries, another sandwich with regular fries, and a large onion ring for the table. There was also confusion about sides. We initially asked for a large garlic fry with the combo and were told it only came with a small side, but also that the side wasn't included in the price. The ordering process felt unclear for both us and the server. Food took about 25 minutes to arrive. During that time, we had to ask multiple staff members for utensils and condiments (BBQ sauce, ketchup, ranch, and Tabasco). We asked three different times before receiving them, and by then the fries were mostly gone. Food quality was mixed. The sandwiches and sides were actually very good, and the tri-tip was flavorful. However, the smoked BBQ meats were very dry and the house BBQ sauce was not appealing. The dining room was also quite cold during our visit. Our total bill was about $200 for four people. At that price point, we expected stronger service and more consistent food quality. The restaurant used to be a favorite when we first moved to Patterson 8 years ago, so this visit was disappointing. I hope they work out the menu clarity and service issues because the potential is still there.

I really love how they play Italian old fashioned music, it really adds to the romantic dining experience. The indoor decor is very classic/traditional hardwood tables and chairs with lovely + colorful paintings on the wall that add a lot of character to the room. We were so excited to come to an authentic Italian restaurant. We decided to start with the Burrata con Prosciutto as an appetizer and it was lovely. The flavor is great and it is definitely pretty feeling and satisfying. For my main course, I ordered the Fettuccine al Pescatore it was delicious. The seafood was cooked perfectly and added a great taste to the pasta. The fettuccini pasta is definitely super filling it's so thick and hearty. (I wish they would also have thin noodles available for this dish as well because the thick noodles can be a bit much.) We also got another dish (can't remember the name sorry) but it was SO YUMMY and packed with tons of flavor. We especially loved the sauce omg! The taste of the sauce is unexplainable, but it paired amazingly with the bread + cheese from our Burrata con Prosciutto appetizer. Highly recommend. Overall I would definitely suggest Maurizios as a lovely romantic dinner spot, or a great quality authentic Italian meal for your family. The quality of food is great and the prices are pretty reasonable. I will say one thing that they could improve upon is, the host stand is right behind the door in the restaurant and its placement is very awkward/strange. While checking in with the hostess, the door almost got us! lol. This should definitely be moved/changed. Other than the host stand being too close to the door, I will say the restaurant is also very small so it may feel cramped when there's a lot of people dining in. (not something fixable but definitely worth noting.) Still highly recommend. :)

It's a really nice place for celebrations, anniversaries, etc. The braised oxtail melts in your mouth, while the arugula adds that "spice" into your bite. The walnuts also compliment the flavors as well. The cioppino was to die for! It was our first time having it (ever) and it was well worth the wait. It comes with sourdough that you can dip into the tomato stew. Nothing was fishy, everything tasted very light. The complimentary bread & butter they give you is also a highlight of the meal. Don't forget to ask for balsamic vinegar & oil, too. Drinks were good, but strong! The Mona Lisa was our favorite. Dessert (not pictured) was also great. We got the strawberry gelato and devoured it.

This visit happened to fall on Mother's Day weekend. We had reservations for both Saturday and Sunday, but we stopped in on Saturday to cancel that day's reservation since we'd already eaten lunch and knew we wouldn't be hungry by dinnertime. On Sunday, when we checked in for our reservation, I was impressed -- the hostess remembered us by name, which says a lot considering how many guests come through the restaurant. We were seated, and soon after we were greeted by Eleanor, our server. She was warm, attentive, and never made us feel pressured, which was a huge improvement from a previous visit. She answered every question I had, including how they cook a medium‑rare steak (every chef has their own interpretation, lol). She also gave an honest answer when I asked whether the vegetables used at dinner come from their greenhouse. The service felt genuine, and the food was excellent -- a much better experience than my last review. This visit was absolutely worth the return. Kudos to Eleanor and the Kitchen at The Mission.

I got the California veggie pizza without mushrooms and added pepperoni, with gluten free crust. My husband got the same but not gluten free. This was one of the best gluten free pizzas I've EVER had. Everything as clearly freshly made. Amazing. Sad it's so far away from where I live!
