    Espresso
    Joe G.

    Mmmm, it was just an ok experience. Service was fine, but the food was just largely forgettable. Perhaps it was a little unfair for me to ask for a pasta dish that was in one of the Yelp photos but has since been taken off the menu, but I just felt underwhelmed by my Farfalle alla Buon Gusto. A pasta dish that shares the name of the restaurant should wow me, but in the end, it was the artichoke and the black olives that did the heavy lifting. The sauce lack distinct flavor, other than being quite oily. The Chicken Marsala that my dad got was a bit better at least. The chicken breaat was tender, the marsala wine sauce was an improvement, and the pasta tasted good. Lastly, the espresso was fine. A subtle sweet dark chocolate with a hint of bitter that suggests a dark roast. Not a lot of nuance, but a pretty good, straightforward cup nonetheless.

    Never been here before, so today for Pre Mother's Day outing, we came here . And soo happy we did, our server Victor was so attentive and helpful, the ambiance was cozy and welcoming, the food was so Delicious and authentic. Everything was perfectly balanced and seasoned. And the dessert yummy

    Tasty Calamaretti Fritti nice, crisp with meaty rings. Salsa  Marinara (mah ree nah rah).
    Gary I.

    Buon Gusto means good taste in Italian. Nice strip mall osterìa. Adequate wine list featuring good Italian wine varietals. Large dining room for our group dining of 21 guests. 1) Well executed Calamaretti Fritti of small firefly squid some that are meaty rings and others that are the head-mini tentacles. Light, crispy batter, and oil that they are fried in is fresh and sweet. Accompanied by a thick Salsa Marinara (mah ree nah rah) and wedge of lemon that I squeezed into the sauce instead of directly on the Calamari to preserve its crispness. 2) Meat Lasagna is big, almost good enough for a meal. Well constructed with almost al dente, chewy, thick, corrugated sheet pasta. Good slug of white Ricotta & stretchy Mozzarella. Clumps of ground beef and an acidic, bright red tomato Salsa Marinara that was a good foil to the heavier ingredients. (Couldn't vouch it was a Salsa Bolognese which is a meat sauce cooked for hours into a brown sauce finish. ) However, Buon Gusto pulled through with a very nice Southern Italian version of an iconic Piatto Italiano. 3) Veal Mona/Vitello a la Mona: The veal is covered with flour and gently pan fried. It's to the cook's credit that the veal was not overcooked into stiff, dry, mealy cardboard. It was moist, firm yet had a plushness. Sauce was a sweet Marsala wine sauce which was OK. Perhaps a light acidic red wine sauce with an herbal infusion would have been a better pairing. Still a better executed veal than at other Ristoranti. Nice medley of carrots, zucchini, broccoli that seemed slightly steamed and then sautéed in a light oil. Capellini d'Angelo/angel hair pasta was the main carb. 1-2a) Montepulciano d'Abruzzo: Red wine with a juicy, high dark blackberry factor with a pepperiness. Light in bitter tannins. Higher acidity to refresh the palate. Good pairing for tomato based Italian food. Food at Buon Gusto may not be Alta Cucina Italiana like Vivi in North Hollywood nor Grano in Duarte, but more than acceptable for those seeking a good meal at a reasonable price that doesn't break the bank. 4- stars

    Cheese ravioli in spicy vodka sauce

    My family has been to this restaurant a few times and has had a great experience every single time. We recently came here for lunch and the food was delicious . Our server, Edwin, was also great, had excellent customer service. I had the Cheese Ravioli with a spicy vodka sauce, which was phenomenal. The restaurant is very clean and pretty quiet which is great for a peaceful family meal where you can converse.

    Stumbled upon this place by chance. It was right off the freeway which was very convenient. Surprisingly the food was delicious and the service was excellent. Ordered the lasagna and margarita pizza, and finished with a creme brûlée. Our server Edwin was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

    We've been here several times and have always had great food and service. We shared a Caesar salad, which was excellent. I ordered the Faralle all a Benito and my wife ordered the linguine Gambernetti. We both enjoyed our meals immensely!

    This is Victor, one of several incredibly kind and wonderful waiters.  We love all of them.

You can really feel that it's a family-owned spot that's been around for years. We also loved the new location. The food was all delicious. There were four of us, and we shared a couple of appetizers, a bottle of local wine from Ampelos, and a few dishes. Not pictured, but the lasagna was incredible--it's definitely my new go-to. The portion is huge, so be ready to share or take leftovers home. My husband had a chicken pasta dish and loved it as well. Everything was great, and you truly feel like family here. This is definitely our new favorite Friday night dinner spot!

That was really cute. I can't remember our servers name but he was great. He was very enthusiastic sans made great banter with my colleagues and I throughout the night. I ordered the chicken Parmesan with the bolanese and it was really good. Very well seasoned and was a good portion size! We also had the fried calamari and those were tasty as well. The cannoli was our choice for dessert and it was magnificent! I believe they said the crust was handmade so I would definitely come back just for that.
