Gusto Divino Reviews

Love this place to go eat with my girlfriend . Excellent customer service.

I went here this past Saturday night on February 27 and when I walked in the restaurant it was so packed I couldn t walk through. There was no social distancing and the tables were very close to each other. This restaurant was not at 50% capacity, more like 100%. I felt very uncomfortable and I would not come back again.

Food was ok, manager was very rude. I'd go back only when hes not working.

The food has always been great, and the staff is professional.
Been there many times and would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to anyone of my friends and family.

Had dinner there on Saturday, with some friends. Service was outstanding with waiter Michael, food was delicious, especially the artichoke appetizer, to die for. Definitely going back to this place in the future Great restaurant.

Always I order My pizza they Always give me Burned Pizza. You can be better guys...

This Sunday we had our daughter's Communion Party at Gusto Divino and we were not disappointed. Mike, the owner, was there the entire time to ensure that everything ran smoothly. He accommodated all of our requests and really went above and beyond to ensure that all of our guests were happy. Gavin and the wait staff were also amazing. They were very attentive and made sure that everyone had what they needed. The food was delicious and plentiful. We received so many compliments from our guests. Thank you again Mike making such a special day for our family that much better!!

The best italien food ever nice music and beautiful place to have special dinner

We were go here every Friday night and saw shows.Food was not so good and had many problems there. Owner Mike is obnoxious and extremely rude. When we were overcharged 40.00 each we decided to put an end to this place. If you have any intentions on visiting this place check your bill and find out what you are paying for. He is a really NASTY man

Great place friendly staff food is great for a reasonable price what more can you ask for and the entertainment they have is always Ace's! Don't be afraid to live life and have a great time
You'll thank me later.

Excellent evening of fine wine and dine. Food, service and entertainment was amazing. We had an excellent evening especially with actor Tom Cavanagh along with special a guest comedian. Mr. Cavanaugh gave an excellent performance of Johnny Cash. Hats off to Tom Cavanagh for keeping my fiance and I entertained on a Wednesday evening in the middle of an epidemic while we enjoyed delicious dinner at this restaurant. Two thumbs up cheers

We won't be back. Saturday night at 7:30 p.m.and the place was dead. And now we know why. Our waiter could barely speak a word of English. No drink refills, and he messed up two of our orders, and there is no way they made a fresh meal. I think they just washed off the pasta and put what we originally wanted in it. Absolutely nasty. The 4 meals we ordered were simply lackluster. The only thing that was even decent was the appetizer. This place has changed names and ownership many times over the years, nothing seems to stick. We won't be back, and would not recommend this place at all.

EXCELLENT food, great service! Mike was a fabulous host!

Went there for Valentine's day basically because I had a Groupon only to find out they would not take it. Then they had a special menu for $55.00 per person. Could not choose anything from another menu. The food was gross. My fish came out dry and my wife had the surf and turf and the steak was so overcooked she could not eat it. Plus the service was terrible. Never again

Always a good meal no matter if it is a weekend or a or weekday, food is always fresh and service is wonderful. The owner (MIKE) makes you feel as if you are sitting at his home for a Sunday dinner. We you visit you must try his home made Grappa and or Lemonchello.
You won't be disappointed.

AMAZING FOOD! You will never find a better italian restaurant! The staff is lovely and the owner, Mike, is amazing! Definitely the best in Long Island!

ABSOLUTELY MY NEW "GO TO" PLACE!! HAD A GREAT BOYS NIGHT OUT WITH MY SON!! JUST THE TWO OF US.....THIS MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE FOR A GREAT DINNING EXPERIENCE!! OUR WAITER ANTHONY WHO REMEMBERED MY NAME AND WHAT I DRANK FROM TWO WEEKS BEFORE TOOK AMAZING CARE OF US AND THE OWNER MIKE NEVER LETS US DOWN WITH AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING MEAL!! I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN A PIC OF THE STUFFED VEAL CHOP I ORDERED.....IF I WAS STANDING UP MY KNEES WOULD HAVE BUCKLED....IT WAS THAT GOOD!!! LOOKS LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE "OUR" NEW BOYS NIGHT OUT RESTAURANT..I ENJOYED IT THAT MUCH!!...I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER DINNER AND PERSONABLE SERVICE! ON THURSDAY NIGHTS THE DJ PLAYS OLD DISCO MUSIC FROM BACK IN THE DAY WHICH JUST ADDED TO A GREAT NIGHT OUT WITH MY SON...I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Great place. My fiance and i loved everything from the wine to the food. Staff was very welcoming. Show this local business love. It'll be worth it.

Nice to find a new place to eat. Friendly staff and delicious food.

There was interesting dishes on the menu. All the food we had including dessert was delicious

Everyone must eat here. It is a great experience all around. Amazing service, even better food.

Excellent food ,excellent service ,the owner Mike is exceptional couldn't as for a better restaurant.

Anthony is a great server. And the owner is wonderful. Also the food was delicious

Although, the service was excellent as well as the staff knowledge of the menu, the food was at best average. The fried calamari, which is my favorite appetizer was awful. Being a staple of Italian cuisine, it was overcooked and obviously not fresh but frozen. The main course was on the salty side with no side of pasta, which is the first time I ve been to an Italian restaurant and pasta is not served with your main dish. Is sad that such a nice establishment can be beat by probably your corner pizzeria s food. It is definitely neighborhood food but, not fine dining by any stretch of the imagination.

Food was delicious. Nice atmosphere. Live entertainment. Waiter Kevin was awesome.
Would definitely recommend. Looking forward to going back.

Wife and I have planning on going for a while and finally did. Greeted warmly by hostess and owner. Perfect amount of attention from staff... not too much and not too little. Food was great as was the music. Will definitely be going back.

The food was ok. The music was intrusive. The place is too small for music.

Lively atmosphere but loud. Owner and staff very accommodating and friendly. My test when I go to an Italian restaurant for the first time is veal parmesan. If you mess that up it speaks loudly as to the rest of the menu. The veal was perfect but the sauce was bitter, That's a big no no for me. The live music was nice up until the 5th time we all had to sing Happy birthday to a patron.

Beautiful atmosphere, excellent food but expensive and small portions. Service was good. Minus one star for the Women's restroom, it had "stains" on the floor in front of the toilet and the seat was up. So perhaps the guys should stick to using the men's room.

This is the second time we have been here. The food is pretty good but service is horrible. I don t remember what our issues were, but my wife and I remember talking about bad service on the ride home. Tonight, We asked for bread and never got it. Every other table had bread. Our water was never refilled. My wife wanted her soup served for main course the waiter said she can t do that. I Spoke to the manager and he made it happen. I asked for my steak to be medium and it was very rare. I usually don t complain about this and I wouldn t complain, except what happened next. We walked over to talk to friends at another table and the manager told us very rudely to sit. We understood why with pandemic rules snd everything. That wasn t the issue, it was his rudeness. We are sitting with another couple (we moved our tables together ) the waiter took their desert order and ignored us. We understand the pandemic rules but their is a way to talk to people. The manager is just rude and nasty.

Came here for first time with my boyfriend and we both absolutely loved it! Mike was very attentive and suggested the special tri seafood and was amazing!! Will definitely be back! Thanks mike!

Food was SO good and the staff were very attentive and respectful. More than willing to help accomodate food allergies. Nice space for a small event like a Bridal Shower for 20-30 people. Would go again!

My husband and I just happened to have dinner here as we were searching for a car in the area and we were both starving! As it turned out, we did not find a car, but we are so happy that we found this gem!!
The owner Mike was amazingly gracious and made sure that our experience was a memorable one!
The food was absolutely delicious and enormously portioned. Our waiter, Ruben was very friendly and attentive. We couldn't have asked for better customer service. I had the seafood fra diavolo over linguini which was excellent!! I also highly recommend the shrimp cocktail! The shrimp were huge and butterflied and deveined with an amazingly sweet, spicy cocktail sauce. My husband had the short rib with parpadelle...omg!! This dish was delectable!! The short ribs were sooo tender and juicy!! It was a Saturday night and they also had live music which was great and it became an unexpected date night out for us! We also had some blueberry grappa which was amazing!! We were so happy and lucky to have stumbled upon this place! We will surely be back again with family and friends!!

I don t think there is a better kept secret than this place!!!

Outstanding meal! Wait staff were
So attentive, polite and offered meal suggestions. The owner, Mike, is amazing! Totally on top of everything and treats every guest with the utmost of respect! Fantastically prepared meal with superb presentation and served hot

My experience today was not a good one. I m not going to complain about the food, although, it wasn t great. My complaint is with the owner or manager, whoever he was. While serving our table, the server spilt brown gravy that was overflowing on one of the plates, down the back of my head, neck and down my arm. The owner came over and handed me a napkin with seltzer on it to clean myself up. The gravy was all in my hair, on my neck and now on my hands as I m trying to clean up. He apologized and that was the end of it. The bill arrived, $175, no adjustment at all. Nothing to cover the cost of the white sweater covered in brown gravy, that will clearly wind up in the garbage. Not a cent to even attempt cleaning it or replacing it. I think this was really poor management. I won t be coming back to this restaurant and I ll be telling my story to anyone who asks my opinion. I m terribly disappointed.

I absolutely love this place me and my boyfriend all the time. Customer service is great always on point with everything we asked for. And the owner he is awesome. Definitely recommend this place to everybody.

Five stars all around! The food is great. The staff always makes sure you're satisfied and the owner is very polite. Give it a try, im sure you will like it!

Great time, great food & service. Highly recommend for great Italian food:)

My mom started working August 12, 2016 at Gusto Divinos in Seaford (after working as a hostess prior for many years.) After working 3 days she requested her pay for that period of time. The owner Mike advise her that he doesnt pay his employees for training.

After many conversations he offered to pay her "when business picks up". So she continued working there. Her pay period was weekly.

On many occasions he conveniently forgot and paid her every other week. December 2nd and 3rd she worked and he has refused to pay her for those days and continues to not pay her for training. He is claiming he can't find the record that proves she worked. Meanwhile, she has her time clock stamps and showed them to him.

Today, when my Mom went to work during her normal business hours. He proceeded to pay her for last week, but when she requested her pay for the Dec 2 and 3rd, he told her he wasn't paying her and if she didn't like it she should leave. Then he continued to fire her.

SPREAD THE WORD, nobody deserves this!

Our first visit. We all enjoyed our dishes very. We will definitely be back.

Amazing food, wonderful owner. Waiters could use some manners but nothing outrageously bad. Food is too good for anything else to matter, so still 5 stars

One of the best on the South Shore! Been here multiple times Sevice is excellent. Always a warm greeting from the owner Michael. The food is always eccentric and different specials all the time! Definitely give it a try

This was our first time at Gusto Divino. The owner was able to accommodate a large party of 18 with almost no notice. The food was wonderful, the atmosphere comfortable and lively and the staff were superb. Thanks for a wonderful evening. See you soon!

The food is perfect, and somehow the atmosphere, staff, ownership and overall experience keep pace with the delicious food. Please visit this spot if you haven't, you're missing out otherwise!

If you are looking for an amazing italian meal you need to come here! My favorite dish is the Barolo Braised Short Ribs!

Seven of us took mom their for dinner last night due to it's convenience , handicap accessibility and previous experience when restaurant was Mulberry Street so we figured we would give it a try under new management. Restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived at 6pm. Waiter was attentive, at first. When dinner came, one of our meals was not ordered so they had to go back and order it. The rest of us didn't want to eat while one person waited for their meal so our food sat there getting cold. We didn't want to make a big deal about it because we were celebrating Mother's Day a day early. The restaurant then became busy. The waiter left us for 15 minutes waiting to order desert. Didn't ask if we wanted coffee or tea because they were not rushing. After waiting for awhile we had to ask for the check. We had purchased a Groupon we wanted to use that said it could be used any day. The waiter informed us that it couldn't be used and got the manager who said the same. He said it was stated on the website. Groupon says not on Mother's Day. We went Saturday evening. Does not say Mother's Day weekend. We did not disagree because we did not want to ruin the dinner for my mom.
Food was tasty. Not going back because of overall experience. Many other restaurants to choose from.

This is the Third family dinner we booked at Gusto Divino. There is no better resturant on the south shore to have dinner. Everything we ordered was unbelievable good, the manager Anthony was attentive to all our requests. This resturant is a favorite for my whole family. You can t go wrong dining here

I went Gusto Divino for a date night with my wife. The octopus was the best I've ever had, the lobster ravioli was also very good. The service was quick and pleasant. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for Italian food with a great staff and service

Love this place always a good dinner and great service! Mike the owner it's very attentive . Try it you won't be disappointed.

Amazing food!!!I wish I can come here every night!!!

This place is amazing! Excellent service and food. Highly recommend!

Everything is good here. Been comming here for quite awhile and we are never disappointed. Service and food is exceptional. Highly recommended.

Amazing place and perfect food and salad and dessert ,5

What a beautiful place to eat, food always come out hot and delicious! Don't eat to much bread or you won't get to finish your amazing dish!

Delicious food and excellent service. 10/10 recommend for a wonderful experience overall. :)

Delicious food! Cant wait to tell all of my friends and family about it! The owner, Mike, is very kind and professional. 5 stars all around and you should definitely give it a try!

Came here with my husband for dinner and absolutely love it! Delicious Italian food!

Place was Great.. From a friendly host to a Great drink and crowd to a Unbelievable meal and atmosphere.. Highly Recommend this place for an Exceptional Night Out!

It was a real fun experience with the singing , & the food was very good !

Probably one of the worse Italian meals I've ever had. Baked clams were burnt. Calamari was bland. Mozzarella sticks are the frozen variety. Bruschetta wasn't a bruschetta but instead a chopped salad on fried chicken that tasted stale. Pizza was like cardboard. I am not exaggerating. It was that bad. On top of that the wait in between meals was long. Staff was ok and barely friendly.

Absolutely the BEST hidden treasure on Long Island. I have had numerous parties catered by Gusto Divino and all of my guests rave about the service and food. Book your holiday party with Gusto as I have already booked our office party with them.

Amazing food and service! My family and I came here for my recently deceased father's birthday and I can't stress enough how amazing everything was! The service was top notch and the food was even better than the service, which was hard to believe. I highly recommend this place and not to mention the owner was super nice and attentive! Definitely coming back!
