Gusto Bistro Italiano & Wine Bar

The bread, the service, the wine, the cheesecake, the attention to detail all made for a lovely dining experience! My husband had the chicken Marsala which had a bit of a sweet flair to it and I had the Osso Buco. It was delicious! The accompanying veggies and potatoes however, were a bit spicy for my taste. Overall, it was very nice and we would return on another trip to Saint Augustine.

Excellent service and authentic Italian food. I had the Alfredo with added shrimp. Hubby had sausage Parmigiano panini. It was like eating half a pizza. We will be back for dinner soon. Oh and the quiet atmosphere was very welcoming in these crazy days.

Our visit was amazing! I called to make a reservation for 3 at 6:30pm, but that wasn't available only a 7:30pm so I said okay that's fine. No more than 5 min after I hung up, the restaurant called to tell me a cancellation occurred and there was a 6:30pm so I took it. We were celebrating the baby's 3rd birthday. Upon arrival we were greeted, and seated it is fairly small inside, about 9 tables or so. Nonetheless all the patrons were so kind, and loving. As well as the staff. The food was excellent and tasted so authentic, for appetizers we got 'La Caprese' & a fried mozarella dish. Our entrees were Alfredo and a delicious sausage pizza! After eating they brought out our dessert choice with a candle and everyone in the restaurant sang happy birthday to our 3 y/o it was a very special moment to see that there are still so many loving people in this world, and a reminder to me that it never goes un noticed to be kind to someone. They also discount your bill if you pay cash, I love that option! Our total was $91 for the two appetizers, that were about $16 ea and the pasta dish being $20 and my pizza $16 plus a glass of wine and two lemonades. It was nice and cozy inside, and an all around wonderful restaurant. We will be back again.

Absolutely the best meal and dining experience we had during our stay in St Augustine. It's a small place in a strip mall but don't let that dissuade you the food is great. Service was great as well. I can't recommend highly enough! A must eat.

A hidden gem in a small strip mall. Found the location on Yelp while trying to find a spot to eat at while on vacation. Small, quaint space and we were greeted right away and told to pick a seat. Monica came right over and handed us menus and asked what we'd like to drink. We opted for glasses of wine. She then brought warm bread with oil/vinegar dip. All the entrees come with choice of soup or salad. We had the veal Marsala and spaghetti & spicy sausage ( forgot to get picture). Both were good portion. Flavors were delicious!All the staff super friendly and helpful. Didn't have room for dessert but display case looked tempting.

What a pleasant surprise this restaurant turned out to be. We went on a Sunday night around 5:30 and were seated right away. It's a very small restaurant but the ambiance is cozy elegant. Service was good and attentive without being overly so. But the star of this restaurant is the food. It was fabulous. I had the parpadelle bolognese, my husband had the lasagna and my dad had the osso bucco. All three dishes were delicious and my husband even said the lasagna was the best he's ever had. The parpadelle tasted like it was homemade. I don't know if it is but it sure seemed to be. The sauce was so good too. The only critique I would give is that the tables for 4 are small. We were only three and are not big people so it wasn't a big deal but if we were 4 large adults it think it would be a bit uncomfortable. Aside from that this was a 5 star rating to us and we will definitely be back.

The waitress was very rude. Yelled at my friend. The hostess Sue Lynn is very rude. She acts like she's better than everyone. Because they have bands they should have an area for people that want to drink and listen to the band. I don't want to eat a big meal and then dance. Decide do you want to be a fine diner or night club?

What a charming restaurant. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. We had the goat cheese bruschetta, omg so good. And veal parm and the saltimbocca alla romana both equally as good. Reservations are a must as it is a small place but very nice.

Cozy (maybe holds 30 people inside) Italian restaurant with very good food, but you will need a reservation if you want a specific time - it books out quickly. I would recommend that you call at least a day ahead. Also no lunch hours - they open at 3 pm. I had the eggplant and it was very good - it was fresh eggplant, not the frozen breaded stuff you usually get. It also did not come with a huge glop of melted mozzarella on top - just a sprinkling which is fine. My wife had the grilled salmon and it was a very nice dinner - enough to take some home. The house salad was fine - a nice mix of fresh greens. I thought the blue cheese dressing was quite good - real chunks of blue cheese. The service was very good - prompt and friendly; noise level was low. Overall worth going. I give it a solid 4 1/2 stars.
