Best lamb chops ever! We both ordered them. Delicious!!! And the soups - minestrone and chicken sausage - both excellent. Lovely space, good service. If you haven't been here absolutely try it. Every time my daughter and grandson come to visit me in Chicago come to Gustos in Glenview. The short ribs and ravioli tonight were outstanding. And Conrad, who is our waiter, is just a wonderful human being and a terrific server. I would love to eat here every night.

We were going to order a bottle of wine when our waiter said our choice of Meomi Pinot noir was kind of "light," so he recommended another (Sea something or other). Glad we listened. The wine was lip-smacking good! We had a wonderful conversation with our waiter about different wines. He was VERY knowledgeable and offered some other recommendations. We both had pasta: arribiata wasn't too spicy. My choice was carbonara. It was listed as chicken carbonara but I requested no chicken. No problem. Pasta had peas (love it) and pancetta (ditto) but the menu said it was served with an Alfredo sauce. Real carbonara is made with egg yolk and cheese so I'm taking one star off for saying it was served with Alfredo. I love the white fish here and get it often. We had the octopus appetizer. Good but perhaps just a touch over cooked but the portion was so huge that the majority of our pastas were boxed up and taken home, as was a hunk of octopus. Seems like all portions are huge. Entrees come with soup or salad. I think they need to extend their hours beyond 8 pm. 8 o'clock in Italy is a typical dinner hour, not closing time. Lots of people like to eat later. All pastas are made in house. You can choose what type of pasta you want (spaghetti, penne, ravioli, etc) and your sauce ( marinara, pesto, olio y aglio, etc). Really like this place. Food is consistently good.

Another solid dinner at Gusto. I've come here several times with the family and we've never been disappointed. The restaurant has an old school feel, with classic voices of the past playing overhead as you eat. Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams all taking you back to yesteryear. My chicken parmesan was very moist and flavorful, perfectly cooked with hot mozzarella and Parmesan melted all over the top. It came with penne pasta in marinara sauce, a very traditional accompaniment. My son loves their fettuccine Alfredo which he orders every time. This is normally a rich dish wherever you get it, but Gusto's has a great balance of well seasoned creaminess without being clumpy or oily, which seems to happen too often at restaurants. My daughter's gnocchi in marinara was very tasty. The total portion size was very large but the potato dumplings were small enough so that 4 or 5 bites didn't quickly make her feel stuffed. There's plenty in the dish so after eating over half of it, she still had plenty to take home for the next day. Each entree comes with soup or salad which seems harder and harder to find these days as you have to order a salad in addition to your entree. Prices are definitely reasonable for the amount of food you get. Gusto is a very tasty Italian meal and a pretty good value for all the food you get.

This place is always great. Service is attentive. Food is wonderful. The place has a great relationship with the customer!

Always good food and service. Old school Italian in every way. Don't go if you want quiet foo foo. We go once or twice a month and always enjoy our dinner.

I thought the service was great. We were so warmly greeted by the maître d' who was attentive to us the entire evening. I believe it was his sweet wife that came over and said the octopus needs more olive oil and proceeded to pour it on the octopus before my Greek hubby was about to do it. The waiter was good too, pretty attentive as well. The ambiance was nice, not overly decorated which I appreciate. It was somewhat loud as there was a private party but I have no complaints regarding that. The food was good, it didn't blow me out of the water but we definitely want to go back and check out other items. We actually tried to go back a few times but once they were closed due to a Street fest and on another occasion which was a Friday night at 9pm they were also closed. So we will try again...
