Cafe Buon Gusto

Cafe Buon Gusto in Brooklyn is the best Italian restaurant I have ever been too. Their food is always fresh. They serve delicious ciabatta bread. My personal favorite is their homemade spinach ravioli with the marinara sauce. All their homemade pasta's are delicious and so are their sauces!! You must try everything on the menu! Their salads are amazing too. I would recommend the pear and gorgonzola salad. You must eat at this restaurant. You will regret it if you don't!

I was really disappointed with my order from Cafe Buon Gusto. My eggplant parmigiana was cold, and I think the eggplant had been grilled until it was burnt. The side of pasta was also cold and stuck together and not very appetizing to the eye or or the tastebuds. The only highlight of the meal was the iced tea, which arrived cold (noticing a trend?). I'm going to try to find another Italian delivery place near me because Cafe Buon Gusto was overall pretty terrible, unfortunately.

We have ordered from Buon Gusto several times now, and every time the food has been excellent! They are in the same price range as any higher-end Italian, but their quality makes it worth it. Handmade pastas are really good, and their focaccia is completely addictive! Delivery has been prompt and our orders are always correct as well.

The delivery was 20 minutes late. The food is cold. There are 13 pieces in this nearly $13 ravioli dish. That's a dollar a piece. what a rip off! That's insane. Also, they didn't include fork, knife, or napkin. never again.

This place is hit or miss. We tend to go with the same order every time, so it's really easy to compare the quality from one order to the next. Today we did something different and both decided to order the gnocchi fra diavolo. We knew it was a risk because if it sucked, BOTH of our meals would suck. But then if it was awesome, we'd wish we had two. Sadly it sucked. We actually ended up throwing it away, bye bye $20!

I've enjoyed the food here for some years now, and tonight was the first time they ever sent over a faulty order. I'm pleased to say that when I called them to get it corrected, I got a polite woman who told me they'd correct it and send it by ASAP, which is what happened. I appreciate that.

This is the second time I've ordered from them and it is the same problem. Why am I paying for stuff and getting half of what i paid for. Also, dont get the panini's, their definition of panini i three small bite sized sandwiches and a bunch of salad to fill up the container. Thanks assholes.

Delicious Caprese salad! I had the homemade ravioli with vodka sauce and it was really good. Not great, but really good. I'm picky about my Italian food as an Italian-American who cooks, and I'd order from here again, definitely, although I'd like to try something else on the menu because the vodka ravioli wasn't at the level of being a go-to dish for me.

DO NOT ORDER DESSERT FROM THESE PEOPLE. I ordered a piece of cheesecake ($5.95) and the most pathetic little piece of cake came. When I called the restaurant, the waiter who answered the phone was very rude. I could hear him cursing under his breath. I will never go to this restaurant again.

CBG offers standard food at a decent price. The service was on time (30-40 minutes) and the order accurate. I did not care for the bread--a crusty Italian, French, sourdough or peasant bread would have been better, and butter would have been nice. But I didn't order bread, I ordered Chicken Parm and Ziti and they were good. The Ziti was al dente and they did include a generous container of grated Parmesan cheese. As a single person I appreciate the low $10 minimum order amount.

The BEST Italian restaurant in Brooklyn. Their Balsamic sauce is to die for.

I have only ever ordered pasta and mussels from here but I LOVE it! This is my favorite Italian food in the neightboorhood and they normally deliver their food within the expected time or earlier. The food is really good quality, the sauces are great and there are a nice variety of options.

I love the Insalata All' Arancia, it is so fresh and refreshing with a great balance of flavors and textures. Plus the pasta is outstanding.

I don't write reviews. Ever. But this warrants one... waited an hour for some simple desserts, which happened to be pre-packaged/cut in the first place. $6 each for something that doesn't even come close to 2 inches long, wide, or deep. Is this a joke? I'd love my money and/or tip back, what a waste. Steer clear.

Really good food. Arrived pretty quick as well. Be careful - portion is not too large, but definitely pretty filling for one meal!
