BUON GUSTO REVIEWS

One word... Amazing! The staff was so friendly and incredibly efficient. Our server Sarah was incredibly knowledgeable on all aspects of the Menu, from the cocktails to the wine to the food. She had some amazing recommendations with the seasonal Peaches Over Etna cocktail and the Chianti Riserva wine. All the dishes were plated beautifully, and packed with flavour. Can't wait to come back.

I cannot recommend Buon Gusto enough. Amazing staff. Delicious food. Friendly and casual atmosphere. I’m going again tonight and taking more people with me. Everyone needs to try this amazing restaurant. You’ve got to eat here. SO good.

Came here on a quiet Tuesday night for our anniversary dinner. The atmosphere was cozy and upscale, the service was great and the food was delicious. Everything was reasonably priced. I loved my gnocchi and my husband loved his bolognese. They gave us gelato for our anniversary. It was a wonderful meal and we will definitely be back. These sort of restaurants that serve genuinely good quality food in a sweet atmosphere are few and far between.

SCADDABUSH ITALIAN KITCHEN & BAR GUELPH REVIEWS

Toni was an excellent server, when my boyfriend couldn’t decide what to eat she was very knowledgeable and had many great suggestions. My boyfriend took one of her suggestions and not only did she nail it the kitchen killed it! All the rest of us certainly enjoyed our meals as well! Thank you for the amazing service and food! See you soon.

Visited this location for the first time last weekend to celebrate a birthday, and it definitely left a great impression. The food options were diverse and delicious, prices were reasonable, and the service was top-notch.Our server was warm and welcoming and the cozy atmosphere paired perfectly with the quick and attentive service. Overall, an excellent experience, we’ll definitely be back! Really loved the bruschetta and Mario pizza.

Absolutely beautiful restaurant all around. The decor and layout makes the experience a night to remember. Fresh pasta and mozzarella made on site and an extensive menu to try multiple items. Great place to go and share with friends and family!!! A must try and you'll definitely want to go again.

EAST SIDE MARIO'S GUELPH REVIEWS

My daughter and I had a fantastic quick dinner at East Side Mario's in Guelph. The atmosphere was nice and inviting. We both loved the "Eat All You Can" soup and bread. I enjoyed the Creamy Potato Bacon soup, and my daughter's Roasted Garlic Tomato soup was excellent. The endless warm bread was a perfect addition. Our pasta dishes were also great – good portions and delicious flavor. Our server Sasha B. was incredibly attentive and lively, making the experience even better. Overall, it was a wonderful mother-daughter dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back.

Always great food, great atmosphere and staff is super nice. I can't get enough of it. Relaxed feel but still super lively because it's always busy. If you like pasta this is the place to go with the family for a bit of everything. Make sure to try the Italian Sodas.... Great with all meals.

I am at East Side Mario's Guelph Location, it is actually my third time visiting here, each time I have had a great experience, Sarah is super friendly and very responsive, hell's kitchen chicken was so tasty, increasing my appetite even more and more.
