Il Gusto Pizza & Pasta

My partner and I have never found an Italian restaurant we love in this city, however, upon visiting this eatery we were very impressed. This will be the place we eat at when we are craving Italian food as it rivals some of our favorites out of town. It is on the more expensive end- 1 large pizza, 1 slice of tiramisu and 2 sodas with a $3 tip was $35, but not unreasonable. The food is great and the ingredients are fresh. The customer service was great and it was clean. Great date spot. Visit and you will not be disappointed :)

A friend recommended this place to me and I'm so glad we went! It's in a strip mall and it's authentic. There's not much seating inside, but there's enough since many people seem to order things to go.I love a good calzone so I went for the meat lovers. The outside was perfectly crispy and the inside was filled. The ratio of crust to filling was perfect. These calzones are also huge so I definitely got two meals out of it.The service was quick and helpful.

After reading about Il Gusto in Cincinnati Magazine, we decided to give it a try and ordered the Margherita pizza with special olive oil and the pasta trio online. Upon returning home, we found that our order included the Margherita pizza and ravioli instead. Although slightly disappointed, we didn't contact the restaurant and chose to enjoy what we had.The Margherita pizza boasted a delightful flavor, living up to its reputation as a solid choice. The ravioli featured a tangy and sweet tomato sauce complemented by a savory cheese filling. Overall, our meal was satisfying, and we plan to return, ensuring to double-check our order before leaving.

Descent NY Style pizza but not as thin as I was expecting in authentic slices. My family was hanging out at a local attraction and I had been craving a good NY style pizza. This place was within reach for Door Dash, so we went with it. It took a longer amount of time for the pizza to be prepared and sent our way, but it was also busy evening hours. The pizza arrived hot and looked really nice. It was a good pizza overall but I personally struggled with the sauce and the crust being too thick. Authentic NY style will have that large thin foldable crust that if you have small hands, you have to use two to eat it. Regardless, my kids loved it and didn't seem to mind at all. For me, it was an good pizza and certainly worth me giving a try in person near the restaurant next time.

Omg this family run business is spectacular. A hidden gem little BEST kept secret in Deer Park. Well not so much a secret anymore because everybody has found it family recipes, healthy portions and always delicious. Stop by today.

I'm not a pizza lover, but I love this pizza! The owner works the kitchen and it shows! Perfect balance of cheese and other items. Had the Bruschetta and Veggie pizzas. Light crispy crust that is not over filling or bready. Staff very friendly and accommodating to some special requests and tolerances. Small place for dine in but basic chairs and tables are comfortable and clean. Highly recommended!

Some of the best Alfredo I've ever had. It was so creamy and the pasta was cooked to perfection. Nothing like what you would expect from a pizza place inside a strip mall - the pizza is pretty good too and I am not a fan of pizza. I definitely recommend trying - also cheaper and tastier than an olive garden. The service is always good but the one guy working I think he might be an owner has a thick Italian accent .

Very friendly service! The restaurant is on the smaller side. Order was a bit behind. Everybody LOVED their meal and we got everything from salad, Stromboli, various pastas, and gluten-free pizza. This is a must try!!

Wonderful! We ordered delivery today after a long day of work. We got a small deluxe pizza, some meatballs, and 6 garlic knots. It was far more food than we could eat. My husband dislikes pizza. Notoriously. He will deign to eat Italianette occasionally because it's fresh. He really liked this. The crust is flatter, more late night slice thickness. Ingredients are very nice though. I enjoyed it quite a bit. The meatballs and garlic knots were key for me though. The garlic knots were huge, fluffy, crispy in all the right places and most importantly covered in garlic. The meatballs were huge, had good depth, and the sauce was zippy but not spicy. Plenty to dip the knots in and you would be remiss not to. I would definitely order again.

Food is so per fresh and authentic!I'm from NYC and it's the best I have had since I moved to Cincinnati
