Gusto WoodFired Pizza Kitchen — Restaurant in East Rutherford

Went for dinner. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, devoting just the right amount of time to us. We ordered cesear salad to start, seafood fra diavolo, and the butternut squash ravioli with broccoli rabe and shallots in brown butter. The salad was crisp and dressed nicely, with shaved Parmesan and croutons. But the highlight was the seafood fra diavolo. The seafood was so fresh, plentiful, and the heat was just right. The platter was full of seafood and all of it was delicious. The butternut squash ravioli was stuffed full of puree and simply melted in your mouth. The broccoli rabe was somewhat bitter, but the shallot and brown butter sauce balanced it out. Both entrees were a nice portion size. We ordered pizzepoles for dessert which came with Nutella and raspberry dipping sauce. They came in the traditional brown paper bag for shaking to distribute the powdered sugar and they were hot and fresh. The atmosphere is upbeat with plenty of seating in comfortable chairs or bench seating. Lighting is good and music is not too loud. We were pleasantly surprised by our bill at the end despite having waited a little longer for the check than we liked, but we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will be back to try some of the delicious pizzas we saw come out of the oven. ...

Ordered 3 items Spaghetti & meatballs, the pasta sauce flavour was pretty basic tested same as we buy from grocery store so below expectations. Shrimp scampi pizza was extremely thin with huge pile of fresh arugula on top as main ingredient, tested average I personally didn’t like it Salmon the big disappointment: despite being thin and seems to be part of the tail it served uncooked and raw. The server (not the Chef or someone who makes the food) came back saying they finished all salmon they had earlier and got new delivery that was still too cold - sounds unprofessional and better don’t say it to your customer an hour before closing. The plate was taken back to the kitchen and returned after 5 minutes without fork. It was same piece of thin salmon we got first time somehow redone ( I hope not microwaved) , that instead of replacing it with new portion as I would expect from a place that respects their customers. Few potatoes had big black spots and looked odd. The broccolini tested bad. Final bill had extra item we never ordered. When asked to pay by credit card we were told to go to the receptionist ourselves to fix the bill and pay. Would not recommend this...

Came to gustos for dinner this evening. The restaurant only had two tables of people. Which was no problem. My partner and I ordered the calamari, clam pasta and Mr.paps sandwich. The clam pasta was overwhelming cooked with lemon. It was soo much lemon it overpowered the entire dish. The lemon was all you could taste. After two bites I could not continue to eat it. We let the waiter know and he took the dish over to the manager who was sitting at the other table chatting with some friends. He never once came over to check on us, the ONLY table in the entire restaurant. I would have appreciated if he even just acknowledged the fact that his customer just had an issue with their meal. Because it’s common courtesy to do so. He continued to chat and be on his phone never getting up. I ended up not getting anything else and we split my partners sandwich and left. Even on the way out he did not even apologize or have anything at all to say. THE ONLY table IN THE restaurant. Unfortunately never coming back here. So disappointed in the service tonight and especially...
