  6. We met with her at Gusto for a graduation dinner, and so much enjoyed the ambiance and food that we decided to return the following week for a dual birthday celebration dinner party.
  7. We had no idea what we were in for, but as soon as we walked up and saw the wide open floor to ceiling windows and beautiful high back (comfortable) chairs we were excited.
  8. would love to organize another ORGANIC summer dinner at GUSTO Grilled Organics and can highly recommend this restaurant, where not only the food is great, but also the ambiance and the overall experience!

  1. At lunch the steak Piadina is amazing, you will crave it.
  2. Everyone enjoyed the food, and since our group is quite holistic in nature, they were all pleased with the organic menu and natural approach with which which the restaurant is run.
  3. We met with her at Gusto for a graduation dinner, and so much enjoyed the ambiance and food that we decided to return the following week for a dual birthday celebration dinner party.
  4. The food was fresh and spoke for itself.
  5. not only is it all organic (which i no longer believe means bowls full of tasteless oats), but it has everything, it's delicious and even though you would think the 100% organic thing would make it $$$$$$ its really not reflected in the price.
  6. Food was delicious - I found it a very fun menu, with create your own pasta, some really good appetizers like the melted cheese, the empanadas etc.
  7. Then the waiter came and took our order, which since we were new, she recommended some dishes, which were fabulous.
  8. My only wish is that they continue coming up with more cool dishes to try.
  9. The food was fantastic, but i think i'll get take out next time.
  10. They care to do it the right way and the food tastes amazing.
  11. Excellent unprocessed food- a true discovery!
  12. This is an awful tourist trap disguised as an organic-food restaurant.
  13. would love to organize another ORGANIC summer dinner at GUSTO Grilled Organics and can highly recommend this restaurant, where not only the food is great, but also the ambiance and the overall experience!
  14. Everything on the menu is organic and everything that I have had has been very tasty.
  15. Terrible service, mediocre food.
  16. Had high hopes for Gusto but all 3 of us were somewhat disappointed (in the food; service was great).
  17. This is just great grilled pizza and there's not much more to say.
  18. Friends especially commented on how delicious and flavorful the filet mignon, pizzas, and lentil stew were.
  19. loved the chicken stew.
  20. The food was great and healthy.
  21. Clueless service, incompetently executed food, and a truly hideous room.
  22. I had the lentil stew; I figured a stew would have more than just lentils in it, but it was just a big bowl of lentils in a tomato-based sauce.
  23. The service was great and very friendly but most important the quality of the food is amazing.
  24. However, the empanadas were delicious, and pretty cheap.
  25. Everything is made fresh that day- how can you go wrong w/good fresh ingredients?
  26. Best pizza, Best restaurant, Amazing desert,
  27. recommend the steak and the "empanadas
  28. Gustogranics is absolutely delicious.
  29. The best group party service, healthy food, fun and refreshing ambiance!
  30. it's a really smooth banana drink that makes a yummy cold dessert.
  31. All the sandwhiches and main courses are nice sized portions of quality ingrediants prepared by people who apparently care what they do, I normally would recoil at the thought of eating "health" food, but this place happens to make healthy and delicious
  32. sooo overall, gusto is a beautiful restaurant with wonderful, fresh food.
  33. believe that if you like good food (not really American but more European) you will enjoy this place.
  34. My friend had a pizza which was also divine - definitely not the traditional new york slice and unique even from other thin crust "european" style pizzas.
  35. Fantastic food.
  36. can really write a long list of amazing food from this place!
  37. One of us had the steak salad; she said the meat was good but had no seasonings.
  38. Everything from the first bite i took to the very end of my meat was fabulous.
  39. Great food!
  40. the salads are creative, with fresh fruit and cheese.
  41. It is so nice to enjoy summer evening weather at a tasty restaurant where we can feel the outdoors.

greatly surprised

by tastyabe

Not living in the city, I heard about this place for the first time. I went with my boyfriend and was delighted to have a wonderful meal. The waiters are exceptionally nice and polite. Very helpful to someone that hasn't been in an organic restaurant before. However, I have found that despite the wonderful food and great staff, the chairs and tables were beat up. But, that wont hold me back to come again. Thank you guys your great, :)

Buenos Aires in NYC!

by Harriet Gloria

GustOrganics is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. It is the perfect place to get together with good friends and catch up on everything. I am a vegetarian, I love to eat organic and gluten-free...some of my friends enjoy eating good beef...this is the place where everyone can be happy! Their signature soup is fabulous...I crave it...their pizzas are great...I love their hemp empenadas...their baby arugula salad is so good...their service is fabulous...they let you stay as long as you want...no rushing...it is like being in a lovely restaurant in Buenos Aires! I love GustOrganics!

when are you opening in LA?

by sunnysoriano

Went with my boyfriend, for whom food is never enough. Place is lovely, very clean and very well located. I was a little afraid about food, since "healthy" places are usually more about the health rather than the ingredients. When food arrived, big surprise... Delicious and abundant... even for my bf. Service was up to par with food, and price was very reasonable. Wish they could open some branches in LA.
