    Onion soup

    Love going to this super cute restaurant! I work quite close to Gus's and it has been a go to place for our work lunches. We either visit the restaurant or order delivery. The service is great and you can really see that the owners and servers really care about their customers. The portion sizes of their food is great. Their pasta dishes are good for 2 people, in my opinion, as it is quite huge. Ive tried all of them and all of them and they are all good. Their pizzas are also quite good - I would definitely recommend their ham and pineapple pizza and their veggie pizza. Gus's restaurant is a bit small so you have to make sure to call beforehand to reserve a table especially if you are a large group. So I definitely recommend Gus's for sit down and delivery.

    Went to this place thanks to the suggestion by the birthday girl, and let me tell you, it was a nice surprise... You have several options such as soups, sandwiches, salads, pasta, subs, and of course pizzas (on different sizes). I decided to order a lasagna and I was very pleased with my choice. Just be careful if you are watching your carbs... the lasagna came with garlic bread which definitely surpassed my daily carbs intake. They have take-out food, we saw people picking up several pizzas and other food items. There is validated parking, you don't need to enter it in the machine, just give your plate and parking stall number to the server and s/he will validate it for you.

    Aaack! I'm going to regret writing this review as I honestly believe Gus' is one of Calgary's hidden gems. Located at the base of a medical building across from Foothills Hospital, one unacquainted wouldn't think to expect a whole lot given that restaurants on hospital or medical complex property are usually just only a tad better than what a porter might bring on a tray in to your hospital room.... Well Gus' is far from that. Gus' serves Greek/Traditional style pizza and it's delicious. The dough is baked to perfection and the topping are plentiful and fresh. Take out is also an option, but because seats are always quite easy to come by, there's no reason not to dine in!

    I'm sad to say that I am slightly disappointed by Gus's Cafe. I was hoping that, since I moved in right across the street, this would be my new favourite place for lunch, dinner and late-night take-out. Sadly, it will not be my new most frequented place. I find the food to be of a mediocre quality. I'm not sure what kind of cheese they use on their pizza, but it was very bland and not as yummy and cheesy as other pizza's I've had. It did have a homemade feel to it, but not restaurant quality homemade... if that makes any sense. The pasta I ordered for delivery one day also didn't quite make par either. I was feeling particularly lazy one weekend and thought a nice, fresh pasta would really hit the spot. Unfortunately the pasta didn't seem that fresh. The pasta on the bottom of the box was rather hard and crunchy, and the sauce was just poured on, not mixed around at all. I will say that I quite enjoy the people working there. They are nice and always in a good mood to joke around with you. The prices of the food aren't too terrible either. For the size of the proportions, it's actually quite reasonable. I haven't completely given up on Gus's, but I won't say it's my favourite either.

    Pepperoni and pineapple pizza - so good! Whether you like that combo or not.

    Mediocre food and service on a Friday night. We waiting at least an hour between appetizers and…read moremains. During that time no one checked in on us, or offered us any extra bread despite knowing food was delayed. Finally we asked our waiter at the 1 hour mark when food was coming and he said there were still 3 tables ahead so maybe another 15-20 minutes. After we finally received our food, the manager came and checked in. When we told him we waiting an hour he simply replied "It's a Friday night and we're fully seated. Thanks for waiting." Overall, the lack of empathy from the staff, the under seasoned pasta, and the overcooked risotto made this a very underwhelming experience. We will not be coming back. PS. No pictures because we inhaled our food.

    Yesterday, we had a wonderful dinner at the new Buon Giorno, downtown on 17th. We hadn't been there…read morefor many years, and we wanted to try the brand new one. Its reputation is glowing, and many of the old staff have stayed on. Also, we were celebrating one year out of hospital for Linda - a long road of recovery that has led to her feeling better than ever. The remake of this restaurant, just down the street from the original location, was as good as it can possibly get. It was an icon, and it most certainly is even more so today. The décor, the design, the layout inside - were exceptional. What a great place! And the vibe! It buzzed with life and enjoyment, at the perfect level so you could still hear and have a comfortable conversation. This is a happy place. The service, from a professional and happy server who had been with Buon Giorno for 25 years, cheerful and attentive, was excellent. We started off with a Calamari Napolitana as a shared antipasto. Fried and breaded calamari, in a spicy tomato sauce, exactly to our liking. Delicious! We agreed that this was the best fried calamari we had ever tasted - and we have tasted quite a few. For my main, I chose the Gamberetti e Capesante Livornese - or, if you like, the shrimp and scallops in a light white wine tomato sauce with fresh basil. This was wonderfully delectable. It made me very happy. The serving size was perfect. Linda chose the Cannelloni Fiorentina, stuffed with veal, prosciutto and spinach in a bechamel tomato sauce. Oh, she loved it! All the flavours were perfectly integrated. The serving size was a bit larger than necessary (a personal observation), so some was left on the plate, but it was as delightful as it could get. We finished off with perfect deserts. I have to say something about Italian restaurants in Calgary. There are scores of them. The new Buon Giorno is one of the very best we've been to anywhere in Canada. Buon Giorno is right up there with the absolute best. No, I don't know anyone who works there, or any of the ownership, nor do I have a financial interest in this gem. But I am interested in supporting exceptional local restaurants. This is one of them. Presentation: 5/5. Flavours: 6/5. Portion Size: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5. Service: 5/5. Parking: 4/5. Value: 5/5

We started with the agedashi mozzarella, which is this fried mozzarella ball with a japanese plum puree and soy dashi glaze. This is not what I thought it'd taste like lol. It was a bit salty and sweet, and the fried mozzarella was done really nicely. Even after it cooled down, it didn't harden the way most fried mozzarella does! We also tried the tagliatelle with Italian sausage rose sauce. All of their pastas are cooked in a Japanese seafood broth (dashi), so it infuses like japanese flavors despite the Italian forward ingredients. This was SO delicious - the cream tomato sauce, mushroom, and bacon merged with the dashi flavors that gave it such a nice umami and an additional layer to the usual Italian pasta. The gyogzana was the definition of fusion. This is like spaghetti with wagyu meat sauce, but replace the spaghetti with gyoza. This comes out bubbling hot with melty cheese - yum!!! We finished with the dessert tasting, which includes a Japanese black sesame tiramisu with azuki bean paste, yuzu gelee, and chocolate chiffon cake. The yuzu gelee was a nice tart finish to the meal with jelly textures, while the black sesame tiramisu tasted more like a creme brulee. Our server was very friendly and let us take our time with the meal! They don't have that many tables, so make a resy if you can!

So we were in a pasta mood and ordered the lasagna and the cannelloni. Sad news for the cannelloni: we felt they were flavorful, but too dry inside. Cannot recommend. The lasagna was very tasty, but for my liking it had very little cheese. We did eat all the portion though ;) it was flavorful. Italian cuisine varies from region to region, we were expecting a plate covered in bechamel for the cannelloni and there was none. So it did not meet expectations... but the pasta was good, home made, thin, and the sauces were flavorful... so a solid 3 stars for good quality. I do have to say that our waiter approached us to ask if all was to our liking, and only at the end did I disclose our disappointment... I didn't know what they could do to make it better...and we were so hungry we had already eaten half anyways... well in this they excelled as they comped our cannelloni and gave us a very good tiramisu to top it off! Definitely 5 star customer service! This is a local family owned restaurant that prides itself in having happy customers, and we are just passing by... nonetheless they really tried, and succeeded, in having us leave with a happy face. And that gives them a solid 4 star overall! Enjoy.
