    Sizzlin Sizzling Steak Bites
    Jen D.

    This was $25. Flavor was good but... $25. The "order online" option on the website was a dead link. Had to order through DoorDash.

    Exterior from Riverbank News.

    My wife and I had been here several times before, over the years since they opened, and always had a good meal. Here are our thoughts on our most recent visit on 4-15-2025. The ambiance is solidly western, comfortable and inviting. The seating was prompt, the server came to take our drink order in a reasonable time, but the way the staff was buzzing around, we chose to combine our drinks and meal order. The food was brought out promptly, beginning with the Portuguese beans, a signature item along with bread. Both we as good as we remembered, though the beans did not come with a spoon to serve them from the small cast iron bowl, and so had to use our forks. The steaks and baked potatoes followed in a few mins, I noticed that my potato was cold, so much so that the butter wasn't melting. Hmmm, never seen that before. The toppings were generous though, and overall, had it been warmer would have scored high in my book. The steak was cooked as we like them, and the value was good. I am trying to get us both to down order a bit so we stop taking food home to sit in the fridge. It rarely tastes as good on day two. We finished up our meal, noted that we were never asked for a second drink, but came away sated. I am sure we will be back. Overall, good but not stellar.

    Amazing menu and service at the bar with Isabelle. The food selection is vast including all kinds of steak, seafood and chicken. County atmosphere is fun. I had prime rib awesome! Soft and tender so delicious. So much food so bring a big appetite!!! This was my first time here but not my last. Next time I'm fasting for a day before

    The food is good. They provide excellent service. When I look at the menu. It was too pricey. Free appetizer or dessert if you have a ticket from the movie theatre request the same day as the same date.

    Beans, ribeye

    Omg, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! Everything was perfect and exactly what I expected a quality steak to taste like. Honestly outback and Texas Roadhouse steak could never ever compare! The only thing that prevented a 5 star was service,waitress wasn't as attentive or friendly, she seemed to rush. Price is higher than other steak houses, however the taste was worth it.

    Was craving steak and shrimp so went to our go to steakhouse conveniently located by our house . Steak was cooked perfectly nice and tender and juicy . Shrimp wasn't your simple shrimp scampi it was loaded with delicious mushrooms as well . My asparagus spears were delicious too !!! Hubby got chicken fried steak it was a very generous portion and cooked perfectly.

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

We hadn't made any dinner plans this evening so tonight was the night! Gervasoni's is a great little hole in the wall. The decor is a bit mismatched so the vibe is kind of all over the place but it's still a good time. The staff are all really nice, the service is prompt. It's clean and tidy inside. The food was kind of lackluster though, which is why I can't give it a higher rating. A special appetizer, they had crabcakes this evening. It's important to note that I'm a Marylander, born and bred so I have incredibly strong feelings about crabcakes. I pretty much know to be very cautious about anything offered outside of my home state. The proper ones should be all crab with just enough 'filler' to hold them together. These were the complete opposite. I split the order with my partner and still gave up halfway through an individual cake. They just weren't for me. I had intended to get the frog legs to try them for the very first time in my life but they were all out! My partner got the fish and chip special. We were both surprised to see that the fish weren't beer battered, but it does look like they make them fresh in house instead of frozen and that is very cool! He loved the coleslaw and said it was really good! He also got the limelight cocktail and it was delicious. Strong too, so worth every reasonable penny! I ordered the filet mignon and while cooked to perfect medium rare, it was not a good representation of the the cut itself. It was very fatty, segmented, and was rather tough in spots to cut. I also wish that when our server had asked if vegetables were okay, they had specified that the vegetables were just zucchini. They were large pieces, cooked to be quite mushy, and were greasy. Killer mash and gravy though. Here's the thing: I will be back! I wanna try out the sandwich/salad side of the menu and get a cocktail for myself! And try the desserts! I still have a really good feeling about this place! Just need to find the right entree for me.

The refried beans were absolutely canned, no good amigo! The other gentleman in our party had the enchiladas verdes (no comment) The rice was decent. So I gave it one star. My family members ordered chile verde ribs with cactus was ok but the ribs needed to be cooked longer and the salsa that was simmered in it had a raw taste. The carne asada burrito didn't have any salsa . I watched my guy eat it and he was not impressed. I was nauseous from the food and ultimately tossed it I'm honest I won't lie I drove 2 hours for this and was disappointed. I was visiting my ill mother and needed to eat and this place had good reviews but red flag nobody mentions what they actually ordered . Just one person did.
