Dropped in for dinner on our one night stay in Moncton. We actually went for pasta but the majority of selections were cream based. There was a spaghetti and meatballs but I don't eat meat so passed on it. We ordered wine to start. Wanted to enjoy our wine and bread before our food came but omg, the food showed up 5 mins after ordering it. How did they do that?! Was a little disappointed that it was rushed out so soon. We each ordered a salad. I had the harvest salad, hubby ordered the Caesar. Mine was delicious with beets and goat cheese. The Caesar was covered in a ton of bacon. Both were huge. I barely made a dent in mine. We split the mussels. The broth was garlicky, creamy and super tasty. Highly recommend the mussels however, you really only need one salad for 2 or 3 people. I also found the room we were in very dark. Would like to say it was cozy but it was just too loud to be a cozy date night spot. Great for large groups. read more

Super great atmosphere, sort of hidden in the heart of downtown Moncton. From outside, seems dead but upon entering and going up the stairs, the place was packed and the ambiance inviting. The kitchen was a well oiled machine and I was seated in front of the action. I had the scallops and the Parmesan chicken bites. Both were a good portion for the price. Wouldn't hesitate to return for any occasion. read more

Chicken and mushroom pasta was delicious. Our guests had the seafood linguini and the goat cheese ravioli, which did not disappoint. Then came the cakes! Large pieces of cheesecakes and chocolate cakes, divine! Not sure if this place is accessible, though, there are lots of stairs. read more

The last two times I have been there the food has been less than mediocre. Service is always great. The entire street is torn up and parking it terrible. After walking from different parking spots and not being able to walk to the restaurant since the construction won't allow it I parked at SnB. Gusto said they'd pay $10'but of course who remembers to pull out a parking ticket? I forgot. I got to the gate and the ticket station would not recognize my ticket. The intercom did not work or at Least no one answered. People were behind me blowing their horns. It was extremely frustrating. I ended up having to pay $10 to park exiting the delta parking lot. I will Not go back. I suggest everyone stay away at Least until The construction is finished and then don't expect A great meal. read more

An Italian restaurant in Moncton. Incredible ! The food was ok but the service and the atmosphère fêlé like you are in a Big city like Halifax or better like Charletown. If you pass by the its worth the Time to go. read more

Omg, to die for!! It's a must if you're in the area! Stunning venue and menu! The food is amazing as is the service!

Food here is legit. We had a couple of pizzas and a bowl of mussels. The pizzas were thin crust artisan style. Ingredients were spot on and the taste was really good. I say this as someone who grew up eating Italian food in San Francisco. The PEI mussels came in a big bowl and were all fresh and sweet. We also shared a big Caesar salad which while not a classic Caesar, still tasted excellent. We had just arrived in Moncton after a few days in Halifax. We tried The Bicycle Thief and McKelvies in Halifax and Gustos is better than both those restaurants IMO at about 1/3 the cost. Highly recommended. read more

This was one of the best all around meals and experiences I've ever had. I took my daughter out for one of our date nights (out of town for us) and this place blew us away! The staff was friendly, our waitress Kim was an absolute pleasure, the atmosphere was comfortable and classy. The food was incredible, bruschetta to start was delicious, she had the steak (Fiorentina). I had the goat cheese stuffed ravioli and garlic shrimp, and we split strawberry cheesecake for desert, everything was perfect. 100% recommend this place, plan to go again and try more off the menu! 10/10 recommend here, definitely make a reservation, very busy! read more

Wonderful atmosphere. We ate downstairs. Felt like an Italian Grotto. Bottles and lights lining the walls made for a romantic ambiance. Bread with herbs and oil was such a nice bonus. Delicious. We opted for the Lasagna and the Salmon. Portions were plentiful. Food was very good but not steaming hot. Warm but not hot. Erika was dry pleasant and helpful. read more

I am disappointed with the lack of accessibility in this restaurant, and the cold food I received. The Wheelchair accessible door was locked when I went to enter, so had to go all the way to the other end of the building to the 2 sets of stairs to access the building. I walk with 2 canes, so accessibility is needed. When I mentioned this to the hostess, she said I needed to call ahead to get in that door, I mentioned it was my first time visiting, but she reiterated I had to call ahead to have the door unlooked, this is hard to do if no instructions at the door, and how welcoming is that! The washrooms are on the main floor, but you need to go down 3 steps to get to the washrooms, and the handicap stall had no rails for assistance, and there was no automatic main door. Our server was fantastic, but my food was cold on top, and it ok, but nothing spectacular. read more

This was my first stop in Moncton! My friends made a reservation because this was their favorite restaurant in the area and they wanted to show off for me. They did a great job! The appetizer was a fresh multicolor tomato dish with mozzarella. Even just a bite of the tomatoes, oil, and pepper on its own made a delicious bite because the ingredients were so fresh. I then had a chicken parmigiana and enjoyed that very much. They had a lovely dessert menu with sky high slices of cheesecake and cakes that we took home to indulge in later? read more

I am temporarily working in the area and wanted to try a local favorite. I decided on a pepperoni and mushroom pizza. I was pleasantly surprised with the pizza. The pizza is thin crust and the toppings were not over or under cooked. One thing to note, the pizzas are only made in one size. If you are in the area and want to try a delicious pizza or tired of pizza chain restaurants, definitely give this place try. read more

Every time I come to this restaurant I have an amazing experience. I love their lime margaritas! The lasagna is a good portion and the pizza is amazing! The coffee's and desserts even if it's take out is worth it, the slide is quite generous. The only thing I'd love is if this parking place expanded. Every visit I've had here is beenhard to find a parking space behind the location or around the area. read more

Have the Italiano Mac n Cheese. It was delicious! Great service too! Hands down my favorite meal.

Really good service - some excellent dishes mixed with some disappointing up charges on lobster add ons. We were a party of nine on a Saturday night. That included for adults and five kids, and as per usual we had egg and nut allergies to be considerate of. The restaurant was able to accommodate us for a 9 PM booking. The first thing you notice when you come into the restaurant is that the ambiance is very impressive. For a downtown Moncton restaurant, we didn't really know what to expect. But the environment would rank up there with some of the finer Italian restaurant that we have dined in anywhere in North America. The servers were hospitable and friendly, and the front entrance has a huge cheesecake display that is really impressive. Our servers name was Kim, and she was diligent at working with the kitchen to address our egg and not allergies. She was friendly and attentive. What to eat. Recommended: - The chicken Parmesan was tasty and enormous. Generally I do not order chicken Parmesan but the other yelp reviews raved about it so we tried it. I was only able to finish about half a dish. Yummy. - The risotto balls as a starter also excellent crunchy and hateful, CERT half with a Pomodoro sauce and half with a pesto be sauce. - my wife and I split a bottle of the three thieves Cabernet Sauvignon, which was deliciously s tasteful. Not dry, full bodied, smooth. - The kids all had pizzas which they really enjoyed and devoured. - The bread at the beginning is excellent especially with the olive oil sauce that they serve it with - so good. Not recommended. Some of the recommended dishes were not on point. In general I would go with what you read on the online reviews versus what is recommended by staff. - The pasta pesto chicken was very heavily sauce. - candidly, the lobster upgrade for $14 was a rip off. It only came with three small pieces of lobster. Highly not recommended. - The PEI mussels were pretty average. Nothing spectacular about the dish. There was so much food we had to take our desserts to go. It was a great night had by all in our group. Again I would recommend this restaurant but I would go with either dishes that you have a preference for or that you read in the Yelp reviews, and not necessarily with the recommendation from staff. Good service overall. Thanks for a great night. read more

Do not bother with steak, and be prepared for long wait and mediocre food. The ambiance looked good going in, but 2.5 hours later we were leaving the front door after a mediocre dining experience. The food was okay, but nothing remarkable. We waited almost an hour for our food to be served. Pizza orders were filled much more quickly (HINT: If you want food in timely manner, order pizza). My partner had salmon which was "good" and I had the steak barolo, which was okay - the reduction sauce was excellent, but the steak was tasteless, bland and tough with grizzle. In addition, we both had the cauliflower and broccoli veggie on side, which was still crunchy and rather tasteless. Service was okay, but staff seemed overworked and could not keep up with serving guests. read more

We drove from Dartmouth and had reservations in one of the private rooms. When you first walk in the front door the ambiance is perfect. We orders drinks and appetizers. The waitress had the drinks there pretty fast. We got in there around a little after 6:30pm and we did not receive the appetizers for another hour and some. Everyone in the party was a bit perturbed but understood that they where busy. As I said we got there at 6:30ish and did not leave until after 9 as that is how long the wait was. The bill was out was ridiculous but they did fill everyone up on drinks before hand. The food was not overly great and I personally would not rush back. read more

I've since been back as it was a group of 4 decision, and have to again comment on the very small portion sizes. We dined in, so I had the Siciliano Salmone and ate the bread basket myself. A friend had another fish dish and she was left wanting, too. Unfortunately for her, she's on a low carb diet so couldn't fill up on the bread. One in our party had a pizza and he seemed to be the only one who was satisfied in terms of portion size. I can't recall what pizza he ordered, but he shared that he enjoyed it. I realized it's the bread that makes the meal 'enough' and it's unfortunate to begin to think about a snack before you even leave and for the cost, I'm just not sold on this place. It's tasty, just not enough. Again, I won't avoid it, but I won't choose to go there if I'm flying solo for business travel. read more

Seated promptly (well it was a pretty early dinner 5pm). Nice decor. One of the nicer restaurants in Moncton. Had the spaghetti puttanesca. Pretty good. Stir it up well. Only wish is that the bread was served warm. Would really tee everting up nice. Waitress was nice and attentive. 4 stars because it's not as good as other Italian places I've had, but still really good. read more

Friday July 8, 2022. 7.15pm reservation for birthday. food took 1.hour 40 min, no apologies, never offered fresh drinks, empty glasses left the whole dining experience. 1 person in party never received her full meal, it never made it out of the kitchen. lack of staff? sure, no worries!! but then those people who are in charge should be diligent in table checks and rectifying these situations. make it right. This was an atrocious experience for who Gusto presents themselves as. read more

We had a fun night with another couple. We were seated down stairs in the front room. It's a cozy, nice atmosphere. Amy was our server. She was a ton of fun. My kind of person. The food was very good, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back. read more

Amazing! Call for reservations, this is the best Italian food I've had outside Florence. We ordered the Gusto Verde salad which proved to be enormous but so fresh and delicious we ate every bite. Our entrees were Spaghetti and Meatballs and Spaghettini? Alla Putanesca. Both were excellent. Save room for a slice of cake! read more

Excellent service, always, always busy. The portions are large, and decent tasting. The atmosphere is really nice, and I'll say it again the service we had was too notch. If you like cheesecake you'll be very happy with the enormous slice. read more

Have been here several times. The food and service are both consistent. Fresh home made pasta. Chicken Parmesan is large enough to feed 2 people, Alfredo sauce is flavorful. Pizza is delicious. Bread served with oil and house mixed spices are a great starter. Calamari is some of the best I've eaten. The cheesecake desserts though hyped a bit, are a bit of a disappointment. Personally the cake portion tastes like a mix, the frosting from a pail. I rarely eat dessert with a large meal, so it's not a big deal. The meal is the star!! read more

Absolute great recommendation from our hotel, we had an amazing meal equaled, by both the service and ambiance

Nice dinner out with the girls. Had a delicious Tuscan salad but the chicken was rather dry. The carrot cheese cake made up for it as wow! What a gigantic piece and Sooo tasty! Our server was friendly and knowledgable and delt with a large table of women well. Time wise we waited a bit but to be expected with the quality of food. Price wise it was on par with other Itialian resturants. read more

As a waitress myself for 5+ years, I don't usually leave reviews but here we go... So for my birthday I decided to go eat super with my friends and I had made a reservation the day prior. Once we got inside I told the hostess my name for the reservation and she proceeded to tell me that they were full and that she had been seating walk ins so that it would be around 20 mins or so for a table. The way she worded it made me confused because reservations should be a priority. Anyways, I wasn't going to let that affect my night. We waited around for about 20 mins and finally got seated. The service was somewhat mediocre. I never got my drink I had asked for, had to ask multiple times for water refills and the waitress never picked up any plates off the table (from apps to deserts). The plates were very obvs piled at the end of the table, easy for anyone to grab and go. I would of understood if they were very busy at that time (8-9pm) but it wasn't. Couple mins after paying (deserts still on our plates) we were having a conversation when another server reached between my friends to grab there water glasses which still had water in it. Basically a get out were closed signals, yet there were still other tables around us eating. I could go on and on but honestly I'm mind blowed at the poor service we received today. read more

You walk in and you feel as if you have entered a restaurant inside a castle. The beautiful modern decor with loads character shines and you just feel excited to be there. This place has been here for a few years now and is still such a great addition to what is considered 'fine dining'. Even though the restaurant looks amazing, people were still coming in in hoodies and jeans and beautiful dresses. Our waiter was Justin and I don't think I've had such great wait staff in such a while. He knew the answers to all my menu questions, he was prompt on refills and checked back a ton (but not crazy). He is definitely an asset to Gustos. We began with a delicious bread and herb dish - you mix the herbs with the table olive oil to achieve your desired consistency. I believe this is such a great touch and it tasted so good! I ordered the half chicken with mashed potatoes. The potatoes were a little too rich but still pretty good and the chicken was delectable! The 'veggies' were literally two trees of cauliflower that looked like they were put into a fire - that was disappointing. My bestie got the chicken parm and she loved it! The sauce was smooth with tons of flavour. She had so much that she packed it up for lunch the next day. We finished with an unbelievable lemon cheese cake. I think I have found my dessert restaurant when I am back home. The cheese cake is what bumped this review from 3.5 stars to 4. It was everything you could ever hope for in a dish. We were incredibly happy with the consistency, the size of the portion and the taste. Everything about this cake was delicious. There is also a ton of gluten free options - unfortunately not as many dairy free / vegan options as most of the dishes are premade Now to get to the down and dirty - their washroom was a mess. It wasn't well lighted at all and I felt kind of disgusted to be washing my hands in there. You would assume with such a high standard of decor that the washroom would be more than a janitors closet - also having to go down SO many stairs in heels to use the restroom is insane. read more

Very good atmosphere, excellent food, and helpful staff. We will definitely be back! The Steak Toscano was cooked perfectly. My wife had the Chicken Parmigiana and it was excellent. the wine selection was very good. My son had a pizza and loved watching the chef through the entire process. The most important thing to me at any restaurant is the service and Gusto does not disappoint. The staff sets the bar high and delivered on all counts. I would definitely recommend Gusto to my friends and family! read more

Good food with a good atmosphere. Location's a bit sketchy as it's close to a sketchy tavern. I ordered Chicken Parmigiano. It was a little on the dry side, but made up for it with the portion size.
