Looking for a place to eat in the Cheshire area, we stumbled across Il Gusto, hidden behind a bank parking lot, and this place was a gem! It was beautifully decorated with flowers welcoming you right in. And so did the people inside! John Franco immediately came over and introduced himself and offered us seating inside the dining room, bar area or the outdoor patio. We chose a quiet corner in the dining area but still close to the bar. It was perfect. He was very friendly and attentive and helped us with the menu because I always have a hard time deciding. I started with a red Cabernet wine. Bread and a complimentary bell pepper mix tossed in oil and spices was brought to the table. I don't eat anything spicy so I wish they had left it off but my niece enjoyed it and it did not go to waste. We ordered the shrimp bruschetta for an appetizer. Although I expected something different from the description on the menu, we had no complaints, it was delicious and creamy. For our meal, I was so excited to hear they had a cheese wheel that was brought out to the table! It was the highlight of our dining experience! And the pasta was the best part! It was cooked to perfection and the flavor was just right. You get to choose your pasta dish to be tossed in the cheese wheel and we chose the bucatini cacio e Pepe made with a creamy pecorino Romano sauce and crushed black pepper. After our second glass of wine and the carb overload we still saved room to have dessert. We ordered the espresso martini cocktail and one chocolate mousse cake and a cannoli ice cream to share. It was a great ending to a great Sunday evening. Honestly a really all around great experience. I'll be back for happy hour and ladies night! Can't wait! read more

We went to I'll Gusto to celebrate my daughters birthday. We had a party of 8 we made reservations and had a great experience. We started with drink and appetizers we had the squash flower stuffed and lightly battled with sauce absolutely delicious and the carpaccio also very good. The portions were huge and desserts very good as well. A bit pricey but very good. Are waiter was so friendly and very attentive. I highly recommend this place . It's very busy so I would recommend making a reservation. They have happy hour specials and I believe it's Monday night ladies night . The atmosphere was very pleasant dim lights and plenty of seating. Our main dishes were salmon , a seafood pasta also had the braised short rib over papadell and orecciatta with sausage and broccoli Rabe , scallops wrapped in bacon and gnocchi. Everyone was pleased with their dish . Enjoy Chris M read more

Well, this was a damn good time! A friend of ours gathered 14 of us on a snowy night here in Connecticut at IL Gustooooo! Our server Nargiza was phenomenal !! Well, I've heard mixed reviews but my experience has been nothing short of MMMMMSK™! That being said, the bar, the liquor and wine choices, Amazing! I have 0 complaints what so ever! This place is decorated in a very Italian way. It's super clean, the staff is extremely presentable and on their game with wine etiquette! That's a win in my book. Let's move on to the appetizers, stuffed oysters, calamari, shrimp cocktail, and beans and escarole were top notch, this place is by far Cheshire's best kept secret! The entree's were perfect. To put this into context, there were 14 of us and all was quiet. That is amazing because we are loud! lol Look at the pics, I had the veal osso-bucca and it was f****ng spectacular! The desserts were on point as well. Thank you for making my first visit a great one! Check out my pics, this is the Spot! Come through and enjoy this place! I'm thoroughly MMMMMSK™ enough said!!! read more

First time at IL Gusto on Sept. 19, from the time we walked in the door the service was excellent, our table was waiting for us . The service continued for the whole dinner. The food was excellent also. read more

Finally made it to Il Gusto. Waited awhile to come as the ratings weren't great when they opened however we had great service and the food was good. Located in the old Waverly building so definitely some nostalgia for me. Il Gusto is open 7 days a week. Came last Monday and we split the Buffalo burrata and I had the Branzino. Two large pieces of burrata with a bunch of fixings to go with. My friend got the risotto and opted to add chicken. Burrata was good and my branzino was great. Risotto wasn't the best I've ever had but it wasn't my meal. They offer peppers with your bread which was a bit random but different I suppose. We didn't eat them. Portions are huge. It wasn't very busy but it was a Monday after all. I did have to send my wine back as it tasted like it had been open a few days however they gave me a new glass. My only issue was there was a terrible smell in the restaurant the moment we walked in and near the bar. Smelled like sewage. Didn't affect the rating as the food was good. They do need to fix that though. The outdoor patio could use some updating. They said they updated it but it didn't look very modern. We sat in the bar area in a booth. Bar looked nice (minus the smell) and there are nice seating options with booths as well. Toured the banquet area also. Didn't look too different than it used to when it was the Waverly. Could use a refresh also to make it a bit more modern. Overall good food and good service. Would come back. read more

First time to Il Gusto, and I was impressed. They start you off with a complimentary medley of fresh garden veggies in very nice marinade. The menu is sizable & diverse, with an emphasis on Italian. I opted for the Tagliatelle Bolognese, which was great. They add peas to several pasta entrees (including mine), which I hadn't seen before, apparently "Pasta e piselli". Either way, I luv peas, so I was happy. We were on our way to a college hockey game, so we skipped apps, but we did have a nice after dinner digestifs - Sambuca with espresso that hit the spot. My buddy got the beef short rib over pasta special, & was delighted. The wine list was ok, but had some good Italian options. The dining room & bar area were nearly at capacity, yet service was still solid. To quote my favorite film franchise - 'I'll be back' :-) read more

The staff seating us was pleasant and welcoming. Our server lacked enthusiasm and was non-engaging. When I sat down at our table, my foot slid on a piece of food that was dropped by a previous guest. I asked to have it cleaned up. There was an annoying fly hovering over our table periodically. The food was a mix bag. I ordered the seafood spaghetti. While the fish was fresh and tasty, I did not care for the tomato chunks. Same with the gnocchi. Overall, I feel there are better choices with respect to Italian restaurants. I wish this business well, but I most likely won't return. read more

We decided to try Il Gusto for the first time to celebrate my grandfather's birthday, and we're so glad that we did. The ambiance was exactly what we were looking for, classy without being pretentious. The menu had a variety of great choices, and the highlight was definitely the cheese wheel pasta that's made tableside. I appreciated that you could pick from 10 different homemade pasta dishes. My husband and I both did the Cacio e Pepe, which was delicious! While only the two of us ordered it, they had enough for a third plate, and they kindly gave us the option to take it to go or have it plated. We had them plate it so that the rest of our table could share and enjoy. My two critiques would be that the server could've been a little more attentive, as my water glass sat empty for a good amount of the meal (but it was also the Thursday before Valentine's so they were quite busy), and I would've liked to see them offer more than two homemade desserts. Otherwise, a great meal and we would definitely return again! read more

I'm surprised this restaurant doesn't have higher ratings! Coming from nyc I am always skeptical when my family says they have a "great new place" for us to try, but this lived up to the hype. It's very clean, there's a beautiful outdoor seating area, the portions are huge and the service is fast. I loved my grilled chicken and broccoli rabe (and now have been inspired to make broccoli rabe one night this week)! read more

What a treat, we met some friends for cocktails and dinner. Our friends have been here before. This was our first time but will absolutely not be our last! The service was absolutely amazing anytime our drinks were even remotely low. They came right over to see if we wanted more filled up our waters without asking. The food my only disappointment is, I forgot to take pictures . Which means I'll just have to go back and do that again. Lol. We started with stuffed oysters, beet salad and another salad. The beet salad was massive and enough for everyone to try. My husband had the airline chicken, which was still very moist, very flavorful I had the Bolognese which was enough for two/three meals. So good, once the pasta was gone, I grabbed bread The other couple had Salmon, and another pasta dish. We all went home with containers. This is definitely on our list to come back to! read more

Love it! Good food, good service! Fave is octopus salad and sitting in bar area! Never have we had a bad meal here

We went to Il Gusto on New Year's Eve, a night that is often so crazy for restaurants that sometimes mediocrity is the best you can hope for. Our night was a 10 out of 10. We had a very cozy and comfortable spot at a corner high top in the bar. While it was loud, you could hear just fine and it felt very celebratory. Our server, I think his name was Alcino, was exceptional. He made us feel special and made great recommendations. I had one of the evening's specials and it was out of this world: blackened salmon over a bed of beans and broccoli rabe. The flavors were really outstanding! My husband had another one of the specials, a seafood fra diavoli dish. The portion was enormous and he nearly licked the plate clean. We can't wait to go back and try some more items from the menu. read more

I have to say if you haven't tried this, Restaurant, please put it on your list. You won't be disappointed. So we decided to go to IL Gusto on Saturday such a lovely Restaurant, beautiful atmosphere. Very friendly and inviting the service was top-notch . We had the shrimp bruschetta for an appetizer it was delicious. The shrimp came right off the grill. The bread was toasted, and the cheese was smooth and creamy. I had the stuffed pork chop. It was the best stuffed pork chop I ever had huge portion done perfectly compliments to the chef. My husband ordered the Veal-Osso- Bucco the Veal fell right off the bone. You didn't even need a knife. It was absolutely delicious. Very large portion very flavorful the sauce that was on the veal was delicious . The rice was done perfectly just a perfect veal dish . This is a great spot for a first date. Quiet atmosphere. Classy Restaurant . We definitely will be returning very soon. read more

My sister wanted to go there for her Birthday, as she had been there once before and particularly liked the seafood salad. When we walked in, it was completely empty for lunch on a Sunday. There was a very strange vibe from a woman who I thought was a hostess but now after reading previous comments, might have been the owner. We sat and there was very little conversation with the waitress we had. She gave us our menus and took our drink orders and then kept coming back, over and over, to see if we were ready. There was no mention of "specials" until I asked about them. My sister wanted me and our other sister to try the seafood salad she liked so much the last time she was there. There was quite the variety of seafood on the plate, and very large calamari, not breaded, just appeared to be maybe steamed or boiled, and to me it lacked any flavor, was tough and visually very unappealing. I ate one piece and could not bring myself to eat another. I ordered the zucchini flowers, which I was excited about, but once again, the flavor was missing. My meal of pasta and prosciutto and peas was fine, but nothing to rave about. The ravioli special my sister had did look good, though. There was only one other table of diners for the almost 3 hours that we were there. When asked if we wanted regular water or fancy, I just said regular, but when I took a sip, it tasted like, what I can only describe as swampy. I live in Cheshire and eat out there and always get regular water, but have never wanted to spit it out, like I did there. I am very easy to please when it comes to restaurants, but the experience was not enjoyable and definitely did not live up to the prices. I would not go there again. read more

Went there yesterday. EVERYTHING was great, the service, the decor, but the food OMG so good. And the limoncello martini was to die for. Will definitely go again. A little on the high side but you get what you pay for. read more

Hostess was a little awkward for multiple reasons. I won't get into the details but it was just an odd experience. Nothing huge, just odd. That being said, if the food was actually good it could have saved this place. But it wasn't. Which is sad, because when you hear word of mouth from this place, most people say the service is "meh" but the food is the highlight. Not the case for us. Nothing was really good. My girlfriend got the salmon and it was completely drenched in balsamic. I've never seen anything like it before in my life. It was more than 10x the amount than what was necessary. Balsamic is a strong flavor, a little goes a long way. I ordered the scallops, they weren't bad necessarily, but I've ordered scallops from lots of different restaurants in Connecticut and they've all been done better than at IL Gusto. We also ordered a lemon sorbet for dessert, and it was way too frozen to eat, hard as a rock. We had to wait a while for it to become a temperature for it to be edible. I didn't give 1 star because the salmon was at least cooked correctly, the scallops were okay, and the lemon sorbet dessert was good once it became edible. read more

Resturant had a modern European feel, the waiter was fun and very knowledgeable of the menu and specials. Menu was limited (not a bad thing obviously there was a focus on ingredients for a wonderful plate) but everything looked delicious. We ordered the beet salad to share - there was enough for 4 people wonderful flavor. We had the seafood spaghetti, stuffed chicken and short rib over fettuccine. All were a delight and enough for each of us to take home leftovers. We concluded with cappuccinos and Boston crème cheesecake. We decided we need to go back for just coffee and dessert. Definitely will go back! Excellent read more

IL Gusto (meaning the flavor/taste in Italian) is appropriately named. The food here is very, very good. I knew the moment the waiter started talking the food is going to be authentically Italian. Food: Whoever is cooking things up in the kitchen knows what they are doing. The sauces shine here. Calamari? Good. Arancini? Good. Homemade pasta? Goooood. The cheese wheel thing seemed a bit gimmicky when the table next to us ordered it. At "market price" I would be needing you to scrape the heck out of that cheese onto my plate. Drinks were also good. The godfather is a classic you don't see many places. And the Negroni is the best one I've had outside of Italy. Portions are huge, making the value $ really great! Get ready to bring home leftovers. Service: Wait staff is efficient from start to finish everything came out timely, correctly, and cleaned up the same way - no frills here and no worries either. Just enjoy the meal! Atmosphere: The space is great with different spaces at the bar versus dining area. It can get extremely loud in the entire place. There is no sound dampening on the walls, ceiling, or floors. So it gives small warehouse brewery trying to be an intimate Italian date spot atmosphere. This isn't enough to not return, because the food truly is that good, but damn it gets overstimulating. When the arancini makes it to the menu full time you know where to find me. Mangia! read more

IL Gusto - Fettuccini with wild porcini mushrooms - Italian Near Me - Cheshire, Connecticut

Poor American knock-off of Italian cuisine. My wife ordered Cacio e Pepe last night and the pasta was incredibly thick and under cooked, lacking the creamy parmesan, pepper and texture this dish requires. She had to throw out the tasteless leftovers - it was nothing like what is served in Italy. read more

Tried out IL Gusto this past Sunday, and we were pleasantly surprised. It's always a gamble when a good Italian spot branches out to the suburbs--you never know if it's going to keep that authentic charm or start feeling like a chain restaurant. I believe IL Gusto is connected to Adriana's in New Haven, which we love, so we went in with high hopes. First thing I do at any Italian restaurant is test the sauce--because if the sauce is off, the whole meal is doomed. We started with fried mozzarella and a charcuterie board, and I'm happy to report the sauce was excellent, just like Grandma's on a Sunday. The meats on the board were fresh but cut a little thick, and it was definitely meat-forward--if you're looking for balance, maybe ask for extra cheese and olives. For dinner, I ordered the branzino, and let me tell you--this was not a normal-sized fish. This thing must've been some kind of trophy catch, because it was massive. My wife got the scallops wrapped in bacon, and again, the portion was huge. You could easily split a dish and still leave stuffed. For dessert, we got the chocolate mousse cheesecake, which followed the same theme--delicious, but served in a size fit for a medieval feast. The only thing that came in a normal portion? My single espresso at the end of the meal. Service was great. It wasn't super busy since we went on a Sunday, but the waitstaff was friendly, knowledgeable, and it seems like they have a few authentic Italians on staff, which is always a good sign. The ambiance is clean, modern, and elegant--nice enough for a date night, but also great for a family dinner. Would I go back? Absolutely. The only feedback I'd give is maybe dial down the portion sizes a bit, but my sense is that's just their thing--so either come hungry or bring a doggy bag. Either way, you won't leave disappointed. read more

It was our first time at this amazing new restaurant. From the minute we walked in the staff was very friendly. We had a choice of sitting in the lounge bar area with the high tops or in the main dining room with the low top tables. We chose the lower tables due to being with an older couple. After being seated they brought us over fresh bread and some type of pepper and onion spread . It was amazing. They have a very large wine menu and so many great options for dinner. As appetizers we tried the calamari and burrata. Both arrived at the table within minutes and were delicious. For our entrees we ordered the airline chicken, the salmon and the pork chops. Portions were large and full of flavor. Our friends stated it was the best meal they had ever had and couldn't wait to come back with others. Great experience and will definitely be back!! The only downside was our table for 4 was a bit small for all of our appetizers and entrees but not a bad problem to have. And with a full dining room it can get a bit loud but not too bad at all. read more

I was excited to try Il Gusto since they are related to Adriana's in New Haven which has been a favorite of mine for years. Service needs a bit of fine tuning. Hostess was offering a selection of tables but then redirected to another. There were only a few tables sat as it was a 2:30 reservation. The waiter came to explain the specials and take our order but disappeared before we could complete our order (we only were able to say what we wanted to start with) which I found weird. It was like an awkward dance with a newborn giraffe as this isn't something that should happen at a restaurant . Zucchini blossoms were on the specials and I had to order them. A bit heavy on the mozzarella which overshadowed the flavors of the flower and the calamari was good. The vinegar on the table was not good and should have been a few notches up to accompany the bread and olive oil. Calamari was perfectly fried and tasted very clea. I ordered the pan fried sea bass and my wife had the roasted duck. The sea bass is one of my favorite menu items to order at Adriana's and I will definitely get this again at Il Forno. My wife's duck was a bit overcooked and a little too sweet. A little more old world feel in service and some minor tweaks and I think we'd have a top restaurant in Cheshire! read more

Excellent!! Great bar experience. Fantastic drinks, great bartenders, good pricing and great ambience. The meal was fantastic. Panna Cotta as an appetizer was fabulous. Scallops wrapped in bacon and pork chops for our two entrees. Again, totally fantastic food!! Would definitely recommend this restaurant!!! read more

Dined here for lunch with a friend today and I'm so glad we stopped in. This was previously The Waverly Inn - now new and updated. They updated the space with some fresh paint and new furniture. The sconces on the walls are absolutely obnoxious. The white light is just too much for the space. The modern feel of the wall sconces does not mesh with the classy crystal chandeliers. It creates the oddest vibe. Also - It's NOISY. There were 2 of us dining and we were basically screaming at each other. I will say - almost every table was filled at lunch on a Friday and it was busy - but it was just so loud. Maybe some window treatments would help to absorb some of the noise. They have metal/plastic table numbers on the table. Those need to be removed and the front of the house/back of the house need to memorize the room. Now - THE FOOD!! Oh my. Delicious. Honestly - I would have given 4.5 stars for the food. They do start you out with a bowl of marinated veg. It needs to be finely diced so it's more easily eaten with your bread. It was large, funky pieces that were awkward to eat but I did dice it finely and it was really yummy! The olive oil was delicious! I tried the bolognese - hands down best I've had in the area in a long long time. I would order without the peas next time - really no need for those in there. My friend had the fettuccine with wild mushrooms in a decadent truffle sherry cream sauce and it, too, was to die for! The pasta was cooked perfectly. We watched all of the other food brought out and everything looked just spectacular. Portions were gigantic. Could easily feed 2 people. Honestly, can't wait to try it again. read more

OLIVE GARDEN WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER CHOICE!!! This place at first glance has the ambiance of a funeral home...not one bit of an Italian look or feel at all. The tables are very crowded together. THE BATHROOMS ARE DIRTY, NO TOILET PAPER OR PAPER TOWELS IN THE LADIES ROOM AND STUFF ALL OVER THE FLOOR IN THE MEN'S ROOM. NOW FOR THE FOOD!! Veal Milanese, not too bad but not a hint of lemon, not even a wedge on the plate. For $32 Shrimp and crab special, FIRST...NO FLAVOR WHAT SO EVER!!! Totally under cooked pasta, (I am Italiano, I know Al Dente) totally WAY OVER COOKED SHRIMP and some tuna fish type crab meat you had to dig for to get on the fork. JUST AN ALL AROUND TERRIBLE DISH. For $38 Then, after expressing to the staff and talking to the owner about a dish we ate a few bites because it was so horrible, it was ignored by them and we had to pay for a $40 dish that was SHIT. SHE, the owner who honestly looked more like a poorly dress hostess, had the nerve to come back to our table, put her hand on my girls shoulder with a, "are you alright" comment rather than EVER ASKING if there was anything she could do to correct this culinary disaster. THIS PLACE ISN'T EVEN WORTH THE TWO STARS I HAVE GIVEN IT. It was very difficult to understand the mostly Spanish based staff.... if that doesn't scream Italian I don't know what does...However the deserts were not bad but almost certainly come in a box on a truck and not made in house. BOTTOM LINE IS, THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT ITALIAN DINING EXPERIENCES IN CONNECTICUT...DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS PLACE LIKE I DID. read more

We stopped in on a Wednesday night--Wednesday is the new Saturday when you're an empty nester! The place was so busy, the parking lot was full, and we thought we might be out of luck. Fortunately, there was a banquet in the back room, so a few tables were still open. We opted to sit at the bar and, although the bartenders were jammed, we didn't have to wait too long for a drink. Thankfully, they had two bartenders working. To our surprise, we were given bread and marinated vegetables to start. I ordered the stuffed veal, and it was delicious! It had a crispy fried coating that added great flavor to the tender veal inside. It came with mashed potatoes and vegetables, which were also tasty. My husband had linguini and clams in a white sauce, which can sometimes be bland, but not here--it was full of flavor! We were handed a dessert menu, and although we weren't planning to order anything, the gelato truffles caught our eye. We decided to try the pistachio one, and oh my gosh, we were so glad we did--it was absolutely delicious! We'll definitely be back. read more

Great late lunch yesterday with friends in a pleasant setting. Good food, service, attention. Nice atmosphere.

Definitely recomend this place as a alternative to Viron Rondo. Just as loud but not as big. Also recomend calling for a reservation as they tend to be pretty busy. We called at like 6 and got a table for two for 7. Service is pretty fast, and all the people around us got some really amazing looking food that we will be trying in the future. Fresh made pasta was the star for sure. Looking forward to going back for sure. read more

I had the blackened salmon with Canelli beans and broccoli rabe the salmon was very fresh it was done perfect medium rare, which is what I asked for. The salmon was a good size portion . We also ordered the shrimp scampi over linguine it had lots of garlic and it was in a white wine sauce . Our bartender was great. She was on top of it. I didn't need to ask for anything. I highly recommend this restaurant. R read more

Wish I took pics!! Finally made it to Il Gusto, and it did not disappoint! This place is a gem, tucked away in a corner. Hostess and owner were both polite at the door. Our server was fabulous, the bus staff (filling water, changing out cutlery, and wrapping leftovers) were all very attentive. The food...phenomenal!! We shared the arancini (special) and the spinach salad for appetizers. The arancini were some of the BEST I've ever had--meat, rice, cheese filling in the most delicious vodka sauce. The spinach salad had walnuts, candied bacon, and shaved parm. For dinner, I had the salmon; served with a balsamic glaze, skipping the potatoes, it came with garlic sautéed spinach and asparagus. The salmon was cooked perfectly, as were the veggies. The only thing I'd change about this dish would be the glaze--it was delicious, but there was a lot of it on the plate. My husband got a pasta special with filet mignon tips and shrimp, done in a fradiavolo sauce--he said it was incredible. Portions are large, and we took home leftovers...so we could order dessert!! My crème brûlée was delicate and delicious! The bigger winner was my husband's pistachio gelato tartufo--a ball of pistachio gelato covered in a dark chocolate shell! They cut it into several small wedges, so it's easily shareable. Bravo Il Gusto, we'll definitely be back!! Ps Make a reservation if you want to go on a Saturday night! We had a 5:30p rez, place was moderately full upon arrival, and not one open table by the time we left read more

Very good! It was my first time there. We had a party of 10 and everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the Halibut with risotto it was delicious. I would definitely recommend going! We sat in the bar area which was perfect. read more

Service and food were mediocre at best. We went with a group of friends and no one was impressed. The pasta sauces were watered down and the swordfish was thinner than a pounded chicken cutlet. Wanted to like this place, but nothing wowed us. read more

Food was awesome, service outstanding. Noise levels not tolerable. I'll return for sure during a slower time.

The building is beautiful inside and out. The parking lot is very large, banquet size. Staff was all very friendly. The stuffed veal was amazing. The kids pasta was simple, as it should be. The mushroom cream sauce on the pasta was a bit bland. The charcuterie board involved spicy cheese with no warning. Overall, we liked it but didn't love it due to the food not being perfect but I would go back and give it another try. read more

Was so excited to get a chance to try the new restaurant in town. We had a 5:30 reservation and found a relatively empty restaurant. The hostess was very kind and sat us right away. We were greeted by our server right away and all our questions were answered. I was impressed with the variety on the menu including the drink menu but pleasantly surprised by the affordability. The menu was not overpriced. That is surprising for such a nice restaurant experience. We found that the empty restaurant was filled shorty after our arrival. Even as the restaurant was filled I found the volume was loud but never to the point that you couldn't maintain a conversation at your table. We ordered the shrimp bruschetta. Very good and hearty app. For dinner we had stuffed chicken and fettuccine with wild porcini mushrooms. Chicken was delicious! Clearly freshly made. The fettuccine was a very generous portion and plenty for leftovers! Thankfully it tasted a good as it looked! We had to have dessert to end this great dinner. The limoncello cake was a delicate flavor to balance out the richness of our meal. Can't wait to try the rest of items on the menu! read more
