What User doesn't like about Il Gusto:
Came here from a living social voucher, staff were friendly and happy to help. We ordered herb bread for two tiny bits of bread valued at $5 so over priced. All the food was nice, vegetables on main were bit to raw, and size was tiny considering price was $29. Wouldn't return here to over priced for such small portion sizes. Left rather disappointed in my experience. View all feedback. What User likes about Il Gusto:
Lovely smells of fresh garlic and tomatoes set the feeling for a delicious authentic italian food which was coupled with excellent friendly service and singing staff serenading the very contented Resturant goers on a cold night View all feedback.
