Il Gusto Italian

We recently celebrated my father's 95th birthday at Il Gusto with 120 guests, and the event could not have gone any better or smoother.

The banquet venue is beautiful, the food was fabulous, and the service was flawless.

Gina, Fredi and their entire team were wonderful, before, during and after the event. I received only positive feedback from our guests in attendance.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Il Gusto to anyone who was looking for a venue to host an event or to enjoy a night of great food in an equally great atmosphere.

Coming from nyc I am always skeptical when my family says they have a “great new place” for us to try, but this lived up to the hype. It’s very clean, there’s a beautiful outdoor seating area, the portions are huge and the service is fast. I loved my grilled chicken and broccoli rabe (and now have been inspired to make broccoli rabe one night this week)!

Wow what an amazing restaurant in CT. If you are near Cheshire this is the perfect place! Food, staff, and overall experience is everything you could ask for! And they have an amazing outside patio for excellent alfresco dining. You will love it

So excited about this place having been to Adriana's before and it didn't disappoint. Excellent beginning with the bread with classic peppers/onions vinaigrette and oil. Many bourbon based cocktail options. Calamari was perfectly cooked and not over breaded. We had Veal Milanese and Sea Bass Picatta which were fantastic. Had to try dessert and it was the most moist carrot cake I've ever had. My wife loved the tiramisu. Reasonably priced and great service. We've got our NEW in town GO TO!

Exceptional from start to finish . We like sitting at the bar and the bartenders can be a let down at some places . Let’s face it not everyone has the personality . The bartenders Guy and Alex ( I think I heard right ) were attentive , polite and friendly And made each of the cocktails perfectly. Especially the espresso martinis, they can be a hit or miss . The bar area is big , the set up very well thought out . High tops and plenty of seats at the bar. And now the Food , if you love Italian this is the place . The same owner of Adriana’s in New Haven made his way to our neck of the woods and we couldn’t be more excited as a matter of fact we used to go to Adriana’s but the bar was smaller and we found as we got older we didn’t have the patience to wait for seats like when we were younger lol . But now that IL Gusto opened we didn’t hesitate , second day and we went and we can’t wait to go back . The menu has a little of everything and they didn’t start the specials yet , but when they do it’s so hard to choose . We didn’t order like on a Saturday night, we tend to eat lighter during the week , but what we had was enough to share between the two of us . And just like Adrianna’s the delicious bread comes with the peppers and olives in a tasty vinaigrette ( so Good) Quality fresh ingredients matters. The cold seafood salad and the Caesar we asked for extra anchovies and they were so generous. We split the stuff veal breast . It was delicious . We can’t wait to go back and this time on a Saturday with our Big Appetite
