Reviews for Trattoria Gusto in Port Hope, ON
Risotto was fantastic and the server was quite pleasant. But it took almost an hour for the food to come out and no bread... offering to start. I was told by a friend they serve fresh bread with olive oil to every table. Perhaps they are cuttingback??..Nonetheless would recommend. Read more
Every dish was absolutely delicious and our waitress provided us with the warmest and courteous service. Beautiful ambiance and... everything was very well priced. Good for families, date night, or just a casual meal. Would recommend to anyone and would comeagain in a heartbeat. Viola Pera - beet, pear, arugula salad was well blended, portioned and dressed. Refreshing but full offlavor. Must get. Bruschetta - crispy bread all around topped with savory yet sweet tomatoes. They did a great job with makingsure the tomato?s were juicy but the bread was not soggy. Pizza Al Pesto - how a pesto pizza should be. Not too heavy but verygarlicky, fresh chicken and tasty panchetta and The crust was perfectly crispy and seasoned. Pizza Al Salame - anotherperfectly portioned and cooked pizza. Tomato sauce tasted so fresh. The meat was so thinly sliced and flavorful. Pollo Alfredo- absolutely delicious and light on the pallet and stomach. Chewy pasta, savory and yet not too creamy Alfredo sauce, andgarnished with delicious portions of fresh greens. Nduja Polpette Grande - father had this and he said it hit the spot. It?s amassive meatball laid on a bed of pizza in marinara sauce. Not too heavy but very filling. Whatever dish you decide to have ,you would not be disappointed. Everything about this restaurant is top notch. Read more

The food was delicious, drink was so good and came in a big glass ????. Service was excellent aswell! I highly recommend this place if you are a fan of Italian food. Read more
The food was to die for. We also had the most amazing server - Cardine was what the receipt said but I thought she had said... Carol, maybe I misheard. Such a sweet lady, funny and friendly. The entire experience was amazing and a great way to celebrateour anniversary ?? Read more
This is our new favourite local place now. Great food, staff & atmosphere. I really avoid giving a 5 star score... especially on... a first visit...and to be fair, this wasn't our first visit. It won't be the last either. It's not inexpensive, but if anupscale casual experience is what you're after, you should not be disappointed. We did not love their deserts but we should nothave ordered it anyway. One of their awesome drinks would have been a better choice. Read more

Went for dinner on a Friday night and we were not disappointed. The carbonara was one of the best I?ve ever had. The burrata... was out of this world. Make reservations because there?s always people coming in and out. I can totally see why - the food andambiance are great. We will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends and family who are travelling to the area. Read more
We had no reservations and it wasn?t busy when we arrived for lunch, so we were seated immediately. There?s a bit of a wait... between the time you order and when your order arrives, so don?t go when you are starving like we did. Our server, Cameron, wasapologetic for the wait, he was very nice and always smiling. The wait was worth it though. The food was scrumptious! Theirservings were huge, 2 people can share one order. We all had to take home our leftovers. The restaurant was full and busy by thetime we finished our lunch. Highly recommended if you are in Port Hope! Read more
