I absolutely love visiting this restaurant! The atmosphere is phenomenal making it feel very fancy! The food is amazing and well priced. The service has always been wonderful and the lunch menu is also a great option! I will continue enjoying what Gusto Grande has to offer. What a lovely addition to downtown Lindsay.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Our waitress, Michelle, was very efficient, friendly, and accommodating. The food was honestly incredible, generous potions for a surprisingly fair price, and a very appealing menu to choose from. Even our [picky] kids loved it, we will definitely be back to try more! They easily earned every one of the five stars.

What a gem in Lindsay! We stumbled upon it during a road trip, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious with generous portions. We particularly enjoyed the Calamari Diavola and the Fungi Pizza—they were fantastic! The risotto was just okay, but that didn’t take away from our overall experience. We were too full to try dessert, but we’ll definitely be back for that! The interior is beautifully done, making it a perfect spot for celebrations.

Loved the vibe here. Food was great (except for the calamari fritti which seemed stiff and overcooked). Liked the chicken alfredo pasta a lot and their pizzas were good too. Nicely thought out ambience with cozy seating spots. Thumbs up to the service as well.

Not from Lindsay, google restaurants, and it came up on my searches. What a lovely surprise... I was by myself, sat at the bar. My server was Matthew, he was amazing, also the other lovely server in the restaurant l, didn’t get her name, but they were both so friendly and helpful, and made me feel so comfortable and both helped me select my meal choice, and boy did they not disappoint. The food was incredible, I can’t wait to go back!

Had an awesome lunch date here with the missus. Food, service, atmosphere was immaculate. Firstly, the interior decor is cool and extremely unique. Almost describe as "new age old timey", which is an oxymoron but feels accurate. Server and host were all smiles and good energy from our first step in the door. Started things with an espresso, which was perfect. Didn't even add sugar the beans were so full of body and flavour. I had the burger lunch special with house salad and Mrs T had a salad main . We both loved it and talked about how good it was for a couple days afterwards. Most surprising part of this whole thing was the bill at the end. Incredibly fair pricing, with a 20% tip it didn't even break 50 bucks! No doubt I'll be back and telling everyone to get in here for lunch. Bravo Gusto, this is exactly what we needed downtown!
