Gusto Trattoria Italian Restaurant

Best Italian restaurant around. One of our go-to spots in Milford. The food is homemade and delicious. The cheese wheel on Tuesday nights is a great experience, but the gnocchi, pappardelle, and cannoli are good any night of the week. Drinks are also excellent.

Gustos is always great! The food is always amazing and the staff/service just feels like family. The have one of the best espresso martinis or cappuccino martini (with baileys). I always order a decaf espresso/cappuccino martini, I’ve seen some places make a fuss about the decaf because now they have to brew a new pot but gustos has never ever made a fuss about it and I appreciate that.

My parents took my family here for my daughters 13th birthday. The food was great, the staff was so nice, they took excellent care of the whole family while we were there, and they brought my daughter the most beautiful and delicious dessert plate with happy birthday written in her favorite raspberry sauce. Thank you Gusto's for an awesome night!

Perfect food, perfect cosmopolitan. Could have used some music in the dining room, would make a nice aural buffer considering the dining room is pretty packed.

We had an amazing dinner there tonight. Started with the large meatball appetizer and it was delicious.

Then came the cheese wheel. I had been waiting to try this for a couple of years. It was totally worth it. Fresh made pasta, cheese added table side and homemade vodka sauce. What could possibly be better? Nothing. It was perfect.

Everyone was kind and helpful at every turn. A wonderful night indeed. Thank you!

I had been wanting to try Gusto for years and finally got the chance tonight! I was not disappointed. The food and wine were delicious, and our server was very friendly and attentive. Their Early Bird specials are a fantastic deal. I would love to come back on a Tuesday for cheese wheel night!

Love starting off with the complimentary roasted garlic cloves with olive oil and fresh baked bread. You can't go wrong with any of the appetizers/antipasti or cheeseboard with prosciutto. Indoor seating is very inviting and feels like home. Well, my Italian in-laws' home lol. The outside seating is a great addition too.

Absolutely delicious! Our waitress was wonderful and kind. Just a great experience overall! Thank you to the staff !

Got the margherita pizza and halibut with risotto and chunks of lobster meat framed with sauteed broccolini. Absolutely incredible flavors! Margarita Pizza was equally delicious, generously cheesy with a perfect balance of sauce and fresh basil. Lets not forget the homemade bread and whole roasted garlic cloves that spreads like butter (our waitress described it as such and couldn't have been said better). Our waitress Tina was absolutely fantastic, made us feel like family and provided us with honest and perfect suggestions on the menu. Will definitely be back.

I came here with my wife and we were immediately seated. We got the fried calamari and we asked for a bruschetta which was not listed on the menu, and they obliged. Not only were the appetizers amazing, the bread and garlic were fulfilling. We ordered the linguine with clams and rigatoni bolognese for entrees and they were out of this world! Service was exceptional and we were taken care of for the duration of our dinner. We Highly recommend this restaurant for those looking for appetizing Italian food, and we’re definitely coming back!

I was with my family at a beach rental in Milford for Memorial Day Weekend and we went to Gusto's one night for dinner. It was a perfect and delicious Italian dining experience. I thought I knew what I was going to get when I ordered a kale salad, but their's was a Tuscan style kale salad which was delicious and distinct, the breaded clam appetizer was so much better than any Clams Casino I had ever had before, and our entrees were generous portions and really tasty. I had the salmon which was perfectly cooked and tasted like it was just caught. Everything was fresh and colorful. I've never had a Watermelon Spritz before, which is their version of the Aperol Spritz, and I almost want to drive all of the way back to Milford this summer, just to have another one. Our waitress was attentive and friendly and patient with my Dad (who talks a lot).
My only complaint - you got that whole dramatic water element out front but where was the water?! Dried up fountains are depressing. For food this good you need the dramatic esthetic enhancement of a flowing, gurgling waterfall. Maybe even some big fat goldfish to welcome the guests! Let the river run, fellas!
Thanks again for the great summer meal. I will be back to try some more dishes.

Hosted a 70th birthday there, and it was amazing. 40 0f us and the Glassed in area fit us all perfectly. Food was excellent! Can't wait for the new outdoor space they are building is complete. it looks like it will be beautiful.

We hosted a birthday celebration this past weekend with 20 people, on a busy Saturday before Christmas. Ellen was wonderful to work with, in organizing the dinner. Our waitstaff, food, and drinks were fantastic! Thank you all

Tuesday nights they do a cheese wheel special! Such a fun experience, a must try for cheese lovers!

My husband and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary at this beautiful establishment. Our server Bailey was exactly who you need it to celebrate this time in our lives. She was so attentive and kind to us. The food was absolutely delicious. as you can see from the photo I ordered the sea bass which was one of the specials it was absolutely delicious and my husband order the gnocchi.

Amazing restaurant with amazing staff and really great attention to details with the dining experience. Everyone is so friendly and i am willing to come back whenever i pass by Milford CT. Enjoyed my summer now an autumn or winter experience i bet would be great as well!

Across the board, 5***** from our family!!! We have been dining at Gusto's for over 2 decades and EVERY TIME they are on point! Authentic Italian dishes. Cooked to perfection. I have literally never been disappointed with a meal. Absolutely worth trying if you have not already had the pleasure!!!

Had the privilege of celebrating my sons 1st birthday at Gusto! The food and atmosphere was excellent. Everything fresh, delicious and hot! The waitresses and staff where amazing at keeping my guests happy with plenty of drinks and serving none stop. I can’t thank them enough for an amazing night, making us feel like priority.

Great service, delicious food. Their daily specials are my favorite part, actually its the BEST part along with their bread! Definitely recommended 👌

We had dinner with another couple at Gusto's. Our waitress was wonderful, the dining room was very comfortable and our food was delicious. We enjoyed the evening and will definitely be back again!
