Buon Gusto means ‘good taste’ in Italian. We strive to bring you the ‘good taste’ of Italy in all aspects of our restaurant. Located in the historic Victoria Hotel building in St. George’s Square in Downtown Guelph, Buon Gusto is warm and casual with exposed stone walls and a contemporary interior design. Our wood-burning oven, made in Reggello, Tuscany is ‘il cuore’ (the heart) of Buon Gusto. We import molino caputo tipo 00 flour and San Marzano tomatoes from Italy, to make our pizzas in the traditional Neapolitan thin-crust style, hearth-baking them at 900 degrees Fahrenheit for just 90 seconds. Our menu also features pastas made from family recipes and small-plates of antipasti, perfect for sharing with family and friends.

    Greeting was lovely and warm. Our server Tiana was very attentive and nice. Food was good a couple of things we noted that the beet salad could have been fresher (romaine lettuce) Ali was very interested in our experience and visited us twice to make sure we were happy. Thanks for the great experience Buon Gusto!

    The service was excellent, attentive but not intrusive. An example is the server bringing coffee after the meal with our being reminded. The noise level was very reasonable until a noisy group sat beside us at a very close table. The meals were tasty, large portions, attractively served but the pasta could have been a bit saucier and hotter. All in all, dining at Buon Gusto was a lovely experience. I like how the entry is set up so the cold (or hot) air is blocked from entering.

    Wonderful experience! The meal and service were impeccable. Our server was very attentive and the dishes came out promptly. Ali (one of the owners) was gracious and kind. He checked in with us and accommodated one request to bring one dish over the top. We very much recommend the calamari arrabbiata and Tina’s meatballs. The venison ossobuco and spaghetti carbonara were magnificent. I wish there was room for dessert but the portion sizes didn’t allow the indulgence. The value of the meal was so reasonable. We will definitely be back soon.

    David — the GM & our host — is always amazing! Danielle, our server, was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and delightful! And the food…. Well, Tina’s meatballs are our favorite, we loved the arancini, and our pizzza & pasta mains were exceptional!
