“ Absolutely Amazing Experience! Gran Gusto Ristorante exceeded all my expectations! The food was incredible—everything is made fresh, and you can truly taste the difference. The pasta was perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and absolutely delicious. The risotto was just as amazing—creamy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The service was outstanding as well. Rick took great care of us and the blonde server (sorry I didn’t catch her name), making sure we had a wonderful dining experience from start to finish. His attention to detail and warm hospitality made our visit even more special. I truly enjoyed my time here, and I can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend Gran Gusto Ristorante for anyone looking for an authentic and delicious meal! ”
“ Food is nice and authentic. The portions are absolutely ginormous! Service is always very good. One of our fav Italian spots ”
“ We had a fabulous and authentic Italian meal here. The restaurant was comfortably busy on a weekday at lunchtime but the waitstaff paid exactly the right attention to us. We had Caesar salad, lasagna and vodka penne. Could not stop eating the salad - it’s that good. Just simply romaine, croutons and made-from-scratch dressing. Both pasta dishes had that fresh homemade flavour that cannot be replicated with large volume, industrial kitchens. ”
“ The server and owner are sooo nice, kind, and friendly. Foods are very delicious. Best Italian restaurant ever for me. ”
“ The 5 of us just had a wonderful lunch at Gran Gusto Ristorante. My good friends and I really enjoyed our meals. The food was exceptional!! Very authentic and flavourful. They have a wood fire oven for pizzas. We ordered the fresh rosemary bread and pesto chicken with red peppers pizza for starters, both very delicious! For mains, we ordered the veal special made with a brandy sauce, potato pizza, smoked salmon pasta, and lamb chops. Desserts were all fantastic. The tiramisu was out of this world!! Very fresh. The chef prepared every meal with exquisite ingredients. Owner Ricardo is very friendly and welcoming. This establishment in Woodbridge has been around for over 20 years and is worth paying a visit if you'd like to have a true Italian meal. ”
