Reviews for Gusto Italian Restaurant in Jacksonville Beach, FL
Used to be great, looked forward to going back, and what a fail!! The food is a huge disrespect to Italian cuisine. Food came... out 1.5 hours later (some of the orders never made it!) was completely tasteless and cold (pasta and pizza). Caprese salad hadfrozen, old tomatoes, old brown basil “bits” and tasteless mozzarella without any olive oil or balsamic. Disappointed tosay, avoid! Read more
Friday Latin Nights are so much fun! Food is delicious and drinks make my evening. Dance the evening away by enjoying the music... and the rhythm. Definitely a must visit often kinda place. Read more
3rd time there. This time I didn't have a reservation, and I could tell in the way the owners treat you. If you will bring a... Latin band and be mad at having latins in the house, you just remind me to the people in favor of building the wall on theborder for then to go stuff your cheeks with tacos in 5 de mayo. There's no problem with having rules, but as a business owneryou must be a bit more conscious on how to apply them. The lady who's the owner carries herself like she is God's gift to foodindustry when their food has NEVER impressed me and is beyond overpriced. A total shame! Read more
Had a delicious meal at this recommended Italian restaurant. Anthony our server was friendly and attentive. All sauces are made... from scratch. Loved the house balsamic vinaigrette. They should bottle it for sale. The portions for my son and daughter-in-lawwere generous so they had doggie bags. The red sauce is AWESOME! Read more
Pictures of the food look nice online but it tastes like tomatoe sauce from a jar. -Owner or hostess is one of the worst I... have seen. She yelled at custumers forcing 5 people to seat in tables of 4, while other table had 4 people seated in a tableof 6. She needs anger management counseling, or change business. -The place is packed with people dancing too close to thetables pushing the backs of people trying to eat. The only good thing was the new waiter, she was very efficient. Read more
Second visit to Gusto. The first was a couple years ago and so we decided to eat here again. We both had salads and Italian... wedding soup to start. Soup had bland tiny meatballs with not much pasta and no spinach. My salmon was overcooked and theroasted veg were crisp almost raw. The lasagna was the worst we have ever tasted. About 3 or 4 layers of pasta with nothingbetween. There was cheese on top and burnt on bottom but there was a strange taste we could not identify. The marinara alonetasted fine. Needless to say we will not return. Read more
Always feel like family when I dine at the famous Gusto's of Jax! The 904 is lucky to have such an authentic Italian place to... have a pallet pleasing experience. I've been coming here for over seven years solo, in groups, special occasions and it neverdisappoints. From pesce pasta dishes, to the napoli style pizza, the must have meatball antipasti, not to mention the winechoices - molto bene. They also do live music various nights of the week. Check out their social media pages for updates!Grazie mille. Read more
A wonderful evening, all you can ask for in an Italian restaurant... Friendly atmosphere, excellent service and tasty foods... including the warm Italian bread with seasoned dipping olive oil. Wine selection was on target as well. Read more
