Called restaurant early Saturday afternoon for a 7pm reservation for two @ the bar. Call taker told me no reservations were accepted at the bar but if two seats are open when you arrive we will gladly accommodate. Arrived 15 mins early to a thunderous roar of staff screaming, plates and utensils clashing, with open kitchen and a pretty full house. Gave my reservation name and bar preference to owner at host desk where he proceeded to find the reservation and preference typed into computer. He looked up at me and in the loudest of voices stated " from now on it's either a table or the bar NOT BOTH"...I retorted that he may want to tell that to his staff since it was the call taker who OFFERED me the option. I should have walked out after being chastized and castigated publicly....in either case we took our seats at the bar and despite the noise level of a rock concert....the food & service were excellent! Not our first time there but will be hesitant to return given the unprofessional and shoddy treatment by the owner....had it been a staff member, his actions would have constituted grounds for dismissal. I am shocked that ownership would treat clients that way given today's climate....bitterly disappointed in spite of how good the food and wait service was! read more

This place is a hidden little gem located in a tough location for a restaurant. They are in the way back corner of shopping plaza, they still make it work though. I've been to Guytanno's quite a few times, the food is always delicious with fresh ingredients. Last time I went I had the baked scallops and it was delicious. My husband had swordfish which was also delicious. The decor is lacking and it's pretty dark inside, rather small also. The kitchen is open in the back and it tends to be a little warm depending on where you're sitting. Overall great place! read more

The spaghetti with clam sauce lacked taste. The 4th clam tasted so bad my meal was ruined. Fortunately, they removed the dinner charge but the wait, noise, and overall experience was not a good one. read more

Me and my family's t there for dinner after a long day of driving and raining. We were all stoked and hungry. So we went to guytannos for dinner And it was a 30 min wait. We were so hungry and e went to subway down the street. And after we ate that we got called in. I ordered a steak my step dad orders filet mignon-and we ordered it medium rare. It came out not cooked. So I would recommend go to the subway down the street instead of this place. read more

Best restaurant in a long time A must go to place read more

Guytanno's - Baked stuffed shrimp & Mashed potato along with fresh green beans !! Yummmmm - Italian Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Guytanno's really is a hidden gem in Westerly. I've probably driven past the restaurant hundreds of times not knowing that there was an excellent restaurant nearby. On my most recent visit I had the best linguine and clam dish I've ever eaten. My wife ordered a steak salad which, according to her, was fantastic. We also appreciated the fact that the owner was making his rounds to each table to personally check on the satisfaction of his customers. I thought the price was reasonable for the quality of the service, food and drinks. Overall, it was a really nice dining experience and I'm sure I'll come back again. read more

Ordered the Seafood Cavatappi, a bit disappointed. Three medium shrimp, two smaller scallops and tiny calamari rings and of course an abundance of pasta to compensate for lack of seafood. Also was in a cream type sauce that was not adequately described on the menu. But the house salad and dressing were great. read more

After a day at the beach, my wife found this Gem! Excellent Food!!! Highest quality, the Best French Onion Soup., best seared scallops, scrod, and our server was Jenny! Thank You Jenny!! read more

Whatever you're doing, set it aside and head on over to Guytanno's. What a wonderful casual dining experience awaits you. We were seated without delay when we arrived for dinner. Nicole was our waitress but there were other wait staff and runners who all worked together as a team. The service we received could not have been better. Everyone was very courteous and seemed to know their jobs quite well. The food we enjoyed was also impeccable. We had a Caesar salad and a garden salad that were excellent. Very fresh ingredients and flavorful dressings. Add to that a linguine with clams dish that was a large portion size and loaded with clams, both chopped and whole. The 2nd dish was a delicious portion of salmon with buttery mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. We ended by sharing a slice of carrot cake that was very moist and flavorful and had a perfect cream cheese frosting. We will definitely be adding Guytanno's to our list of favorites. read more

Can't think of even one negative thing to say. Great ownership, great food, intimate setting. Come here for business lunches often. I don't plan on changing that routine any time soon either. Friendly and passionate owners who care about what they do. It shows. read more

I am so disheartened by the way the owner treated people in his restaurant. I understand that the restaurant business can be stressful, and that tensions can rise. What I can not tolerate is watching an owner berate their staff in front of the customers. I, myself asked the waitress to add a note for the chef regarding my order. The waitress did as I asked. The owner proceeded to berate and belittle the waitress for adding the note for the chef. It was not her fault. I had asked her to do it. Why yell and make someone feel horrible for such an insignificant thing. And! This was done in the restaurant in front of the customers. How incredibly unprofessional. I will never support a place where the owner believes he has the right to treat people this way, and I sincerely hope you read this review and find somewhere else to spend your money as well. If you do go to this restaurant, take a look around... Once you identify the owner, watch how he interacts with his staff. It. Is. Appalling! Shame on you! 0 Stars from this customer! read more

Let me start off my saying I have LOVED this place in the past. Today, not so much. Our appetizer was wonderful. As my husband and I waited for our drinks, we noticed the bartender showing pictures on her phone to the waitresses. It's a Sunday and it is not too busy. A few minutes later, I noticed three waitresses were also on their phone. I wondered what owner would allow that during business hours. My meal was drenched in olive oil. My husband's meal was covered in deep fried oil when the menu stated his brussel sprouts were pan fried. We couldn't understand it. Our waitress, Sam was fantastic. She was personable and on point and NOT on her phone. We aren't sure if we will be back anytime soon. We live locally. read more

Guytannos Cafe is located at the end of a strip mall across from the old Westerly DMV and can be easy to miss. Nothing on the outside really stands out about it, however what it lacks on the outside, is more than made up for on the inside. Everything about this place is superb! They offer a fantastic menu selection, everything from iron steak with Korean barbeque sauce, seafood stuffed mushrooms/shrimp (sometimes baked stuffed lobster too although its seasonal) and exotic pastas! They do a great job offering an international menu selection but at the same time, they still offer local favorites this area is traditionally known for. We started off with the clam chowder, the caprese salad and the calamari. The clam chowder was especially creamy and had tons of huge clams in it. I hate going to restaurants and ordering clam chowder that has little to no clam in it! Not so here! The caprese salad was also fantastic. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe , and the balsamic vinegar was thick without being overbearing. The basil was also fresh. Too many places Ive been around here serve unripe tomatoes with cheap balsamic vinegar and dry basil (ick)! Not so here! For my main, I ordered the baked stuffed lobster. Let me just say, I've been around the world and back and have yet to find a place that does baked stuffed lobster, or anything baked stuffed for that matter, better than this. The chef uses a ritz cracker based, seafood (minced scallops and shrimp) stuffing which is super rich and delicious. It was also cooked to perfection. Baked stuffed lobster can be very tricky. It can end up dry and crunchy (not good in the lobster world), but Guytannoes make it to perfectly! The lobster below the stuffing was not dry at all and meshed perfectly with the stuffing! My mother ordered the Bomster scallops, which are served in butter, breadcrumbs, cheese and garlic and are a local favorite. This plate was also delicious! My husband ordered the Cavetelli pasta with sausage. The portion was huge, and the plate has a little bit of a kick to it, so keep that in mind if your order it. It was also very good! The service was impeccable. Our servers were very attentive and I loved the fact that you can see the kitchen from just about any table at the restaurant! It is clear Guytanno's takes pride in there establishment, and it definitely shows in the quality. The prices are reasonable and I personally think a great value for the quality and portions offered. I cannot say enough good things about this place and plan on coming back every chance I get! read more

Use to be one of my favorite places but after it was sold its ok but not fantastic. I miss Guys food.

Decent Italian food, but the prices just seem a bit high for the options available throughout Westerly. I believe the $$ shown should more realistically reflect $$$. read more

My wife and I where looking for a new place to eat. We found this place online so we made the 40min drive to check it out. WOW, glad we made the ride , the food was incredible. We sat at the bar and the luxury about sitting at the bar was you can actually see the whole kitchen and the guys cooking. I had the "Gorgonzola New York" which was an amazing steak dinner and my wife had the Filet Mignon which was topped with fresh crab meat. The Filet was so tender you cut cut it with a fork. And the side dish of pasta alio and mash potatoes where also incredible. Prices are reasonable, the filet and crab was $25 and my dish was $19. Can't wait to go back read more

My husband and I went for an early dinner after shopping all day at Home Depot. The place was nearly empty when we went in and the line was out the door when we left. Those poor people! We have a deal to always try the calamari once at a restaurant. It was cooked correctly but as blah as eating a bowl of dry cornflakes. No garlic, no butter just oil and a few pepper rings. Sauce was served on the side - heavy oregano - think sauce from a jar at the supermarket. Prego, maybe?. I ordered the open steak sandwich medium rare with the 'Guytanno steak sauce" and it was cooked medium. Again, no flavor - not in the steak, not in the fries, not in the watered down mushroom demi glace and certainly not in the what-must-have-been-just defrosted roll. Because my husband is on Atkins, I didn't offer any of the fries to him. Looks can be deceiving and the fries look delicious so he couldn't resist and was mighty disappointed. I don't know how a hand cut fry could be this bland. His burger was still pink despite ordering it extra well done. He said the Guytanno salad was very flavorful but the burger was just tasteless, nothing, blah. Maybe they need to be introduced to fresh ingredients and salt? Update: tried again tonight - - has to be worst "Italian" restaurant. Orders were incorrect - I was served the wrong dish entirely; My husband's "well- done, burned" burger was still pink. Could barely choke down my sausage cavatappi. Brown sauce - ewwwww. All around bad. read more

waitress was rude and made three trips to the table..1.take complete order.2. deliver food. 3. drop off check..not kidding...when she was passing by i asked for some more bevergaes and some more bread, and she asked if i really needed more!!( im not over weight for the record). i called manager rob and owner guy and was assured that waitress had been held over from lunch and she was upset so we bared the brunt of her anger..he said i would receive a gift certifiacate for the amount of the bill..but that never came.. called and asked for it in anger and was assured it would be mailed..it never came... there are plenty of great places to eat in westerly..so avoid this one!!!! try 84 high st cafe ella's pizza place venice the twisted vine read more

I've heard great things from this place but when I got there it was a surprise to me. We were greeted in a rude manor and they sat my group of 5 at a very small table making it almost awkward while eating. The food I received was cold and although I hate sending food back and making it more complicated, I was paying good money for the food and didn't want it to be cold so I sent it back. When it arrived to me they gave it back in a very rude way and it seemed as if they had taken a large amount of that food away. I didn't want to say anything again so I ate and left. Don't think I will be returning. read more

Great place. Onion soup best ever had... double bowled so no drop or cheese overflow got away! We had chicken wing and scallops appetizers and were super too. Great service too. We plan to return. read more

If you love restaurants this place is very entertaining. The chefs are dialed in like a well oiled machine. Starter salad with tasted pistachios was great. Pasta entrees were also very good. You may want to pass on desert as ours was mediocre prefab sysco. Overall very impressive. read more

Needs to be dusted. Woodwork on ceiling and fans are all caked in dust. Food was great

Dined here on 8/10/2014 later than usual around 8:30p. The place was bustling, but all the staff was friendly and attentive. Food portions were gargantuan and excellent! Shrimp cocktail (huge prawns) very fresh and tasty. Panko chicken, chicken alfredo, Half Guy Salad were all really good and fresh. Topped it off with Salted Caramel Gelato (heavenly) and Milk Chocolate Brownie. This is a local restaurant for local folks, unpretentious noisy atmosphere and excellent food! Hope to eat here again sometime. read more

My second visit to this restaurant. I had blackened swordfish salad. Swordfish overcooked, awful. My husband had a seafood pasta while the shrimp and scallops in the pasta were delicious the calamari were like rubber bands .Extremely disappointing. read more

had the pastrami rueben and it was truly excellent.. had the Guytanno salad as a side and it was a very pleasant surprise! really fresh... Good thing we went there with someone local to Westerly and we would never have found it.. :) read more

Great food! My wife and I decided on Guytanno's by looking at there menu on line. Wow we're we surprised! The food was fantastic and the service was great! We had the duck salad and the salmon entree. We were blown away by the food and at such a value. We would highly recommend. read more

Excellent meal. I had French onion soup and chicken Madeira, my fiance a twin filet special. We were pleased with portion size and food overall. Our waitress was nice although she seemed a little frustrated and stressed. Very busy night there. Overall, we will probably be back. read more

Always a delicious meal with excellent service. Enjoyed the filet mignon . Nice wine list too.

Very impressed with our dinner for 4 last night. Greeted by a sweet hostess named Sarah and had a very pleasant waitress. I enjoyed probably the best dinner I've had in a long time. I ordered the fried seafood platter. I was skeptical as some fried seafood is heavy and greasy - not this time. It was a very light batter with huge flavor and an aioli sauce drizzle. It came with delicious fries and a wonderful house made coleslaw. Disappointed that this was only a special - would love to see it on the regular menu. By the way, everyone else enjoyed their meal as well...it's not all about me!! read more

Guytannos graciously took in our starving party of 10 15 minutes before the kitchen closed. We had a Moms day and we stopped to watch the sunset so it was late. The service was awesome and the food was awesome. I had the steak and potatoes and it was cooked perfect and I could eat every last piece. I highly recommend the restaurant. read more

Stopped by here on a recent trip to Westerly. Great local restaurant in a strip mall. Wonderful food, great cocktails, friendly staff and the manager who may be the owner was gracious and welcoming. The portions were huge! Highly recommend giving this place a try if you are in town. read more

We got the prosciutto for an appetizer, seared duck and the Caribbean chicken for our main dish. They both tasted amazing. Their service is really great. I actually forgot my cell phone at the restaurant. I had to drive over an hour back the next day to get it, and they kept it safe for me in the back room. I will indeed come back again. Thank you for keeping my phone safe! read more

Has been a must stop when ever I get to RI , used to be a hidden secret but everyone has found out it's the best place for dinner in westerly ,keep up the great work n see you soon read more

Stopped for lunch today and it was fabulous. We started with the mussel appetizer and even a half portion shared, gave about 6 each and they were great. Topped with Panko, olive oil, garlic and parsley. They are the best we have found of late and are close to what were the best at the former One South in Stonington, CT. Then came the lobster wrap for my husband with a Guytano salad side and I had the Guytano Salad. Excellent flavors and huge potions. We had this salad in the past and it is still on of the best. Lobster wrap had the freshest taste and was so big we brought half home. We will be coming back again soon. read more

The Surf and Turf special did not disappoint! I love that every time there is Surf and Turf special is a little different! Amazing dinner and great atmosphere! read more

Guytanno's - Surf & Turf was amazing tonight @ Guytannos! - Italian Near Me - Westerly, Rhode Island

Tucked away in a small strip mall this fabulous restaurant could easily be missed. The menu is diverse and pleases many different palates. We've usually dine at the bar and have always had excellent service and attention details. Steak and seafood choices are top quality. If there was only one improvement that could be made it's better ventilation- read more

This place is a gem in Westerly. Everything is delicious and carefully prepared. A fantastic Italian meal, with great service and a reasonable price. I joined their loyalty program there and I'm looking forward to me next trip. read more

Four of us were there yesterday to celebrate a birthday. My burger was delicious. However, the reuben, fries and nachos were all burned. The soup wasn't very hot. The chef looked at it and said it wasn't burnt. YES , it was! He should have said, sorry your expectations weren't met and taken both items off the check. They did remove the nachos. We've eaten there several times and had always enjoyed the meals. We won't be going back. Too bad! My mom and aunt left hungry. read more
