A beautiful place and the service was very nice, I went to celebrate my birthday with my friends and I would come back a thousand times more, delicious food, spectacular customer service and live music with MartinSon was the cherry on the cake! they also sang birthday to me with several desserts placed on a wooden map of Italy and that was a super beautiful detail, I appreciated it very much! it is a place to visit because the food and cocktails were wonderful 🤩🤩.

Impeccable service and great food 10/10

Both the food and the service were amazing.

The winning dishes of the evening were the caprese ravioli and the desserts: the chocolate and nutella marquise and the cheesecake with salted caramel and brownie pieces... UFF! how spectacular!

WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN SAN JOSE!

I went as a couple and the night exceeded expectations, which were already high, as it was a recommendation from a family member.

So the place is perfect to go as a couple, group of friends or family.

Besides the food is 10/10, every detail is well taken care of, even the sound system is TOP and we were surprised because in other places of the same category, the music becomes uncomfortable.

Lunches and dinners with family, friends and clients!

Great! I have been coming to Gusto since before the pandemic and they have NEVER let me down. The food, the service, the music, the ambiance...EVERYTHING is SPECTACULAR!!!! 100% Recommended!!!
