Located in the heart of old Guelph, Ontario is an Italian gem,  one of the best restaurants I have ever been to.  It is efficient, friendly and has some of the best pizzas I have ever tasted. A big plus is that it is very reasonably priced for high quality food.  As you enter there is a spacious bar that usually has patrons seated and eating.

The space is comfortable and has a variety of seating.

The menu is clear and has a nice variety of appetizers, salads, soups, pastas and great pizzas.  There are also some mains included in the menu and every evening there are specials that usually include a fish, meat and vegetarian option.

There is also a nice menu of drink specialties and a reasonably priced selection of wines.

Three of us came here two weeks in a row and tried a couple of their appetizers, pizzas and pasta.  We will come again to explore more of their menu for sure.  The carpaccio was cold, covered in grana padano and arugula and sliced very thin.  It just melted in your mouth.

As another appetizer we tried the calamari (which can be very chewy sometimes) they were soft and not chewy at all. 

We tried a variety of pizzas over our two visits and they were outstanding. The toppings were copious and very fresh.

Arugula and Prosciutto 

Fig and Prosciutto

Buon Gusto Pizza

A nice Ripasso from their wine list paired perfectly with our food.

One of us tried one of their pastas - the Tagliatelle Dragoncello con Funghi it was delicious! Looking forward to coming back and try some more of their pastas.

 A light tiramisu and cappuccino completed the meals.

 This restaurant is definitely worth a visit if you find yourself anywhere near Guelph.  We are already looking forward to visiting Buon Gusto again soon.
