Buon Gusto Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Food was delicious. Ordered a pear salad appetizer ( which was not on that evening's menu, but they made it for me !) The veal chop was excellent. Service was top notch. Will return again soon!
Everything is absolutely delicious here. Great ambiance as well. Service is warm and friendly. It's BYOB, amazing Italian dishes! We go often.
The service here is impeccable. The chef and owner is engaged in the experience of his customers. The food is outstanding. Locally sourced and freshly made to order, truly some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The endive salad was classic and simple with a vinaigrette and some local organic tomatoes. A spring salad was another treat. But my favorite was the lobster ravioli. It came with a white sauce and a dollop of the red marinara sauce in the middle so you can make your own cream sauce. It was decadent and delightful. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. Bathrooms are clean as well and a small parking lot for free parking. (I don't know if that's normal for the area but everywhere else I've been recently in NY and NJ is paid parking.) Go try it out!
Always a good experience at Buongiorno Gusto. The staff is accommodating, and the food always delicious. The decor is old-school Italian style. Portions are generous and reasonably priced. There's a parking lot and street parking, and don't forget that it's BYOB.
The service & food are fantastic. Everything is made fresh & delicious. The best Italian restaurant I've had the pleasure of visiting.The cannolis are amazing! I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I always look forward to enjoying this restaurant. Especially coming from California.
...early Friday dinner...terrific...best baked clams....beef carpaccio, perfect! The branzino was cooked simply, but to perfection and the veal piccata could not have been done better.... Service? Wonderful and attentive.... And for NJ, very well priced... Many thanks for a wonderful Good Friday!
Great food at great prices. This became our favorite Italian restaurant when we moved to Bergen County. On a recent visit ordered their homemade at last minute and devine napoleon. Unlike most other restaurants which make their napoleon ahead of time which results in ruination due the soggy biscuit wafers, Buon Gusto assembles a perfect napoleon at just before serving. A real treat!
PROS: The staff is very friendly and the food is amazing! They have fresh food, priced well, and have a good variety. They seem to have a lot of regulars and they take reservations. CONS: There is hardly any parking on the street and the place is in desperate need of renovation OVERALL: I would highly recommend coming here again since the food and service are both really good
