   2nd time here. Food is good menu has great selections and good specials it’s a nice addition to the town. I just wish the service was good it’s just not there. They start off good getting your drink and food order then as you wait for your food no one comes back to check if you need a drink refill or are doing ok. Too forever to get another drink, the check and then the check to be paid. If they get their service up I think this will be a great restaurant. The poor service almost makes it a deal breaker.

   Another great meal there. Food was delicious and portions are huge. Great value. The owners are lovely, very personable, and the staff are very hardworking and were very attentive. Ordered the orrecheta with sausage and broccoli rabe and the salmon special was out of sight. Ordered squash blossoms to go to try next day and the were also delicious. The history in there brings back great memories of the Waverly. Il Gusto is a wonderful addition to Cheshire and very much so needed.

   Food was awesome. A bit noisy for me on a Saturday night. Went mid week and it was fine. Service was very good.

   The attentive staff and delicious fare was perfect for an evening with my sister. I very much appreciated the variety of seating available. Booth, bar, high tops & round tables were all available.

   Large portions of food. Consistent quality. Attention to detail from wait staff can be better. Appetizer and bread plates should be cleared before entrees are served.

   really disappointed Adriana‘s is our favorite restaurants in New Haven. The only thing that was close to Adriana‘s was the size of the plates .The service was excelant, food was ok. Caesar salad taste nothing like a Caesar salad. Fish was good. Lamb chops were OK. All in all the food could use a lot more flavor.

   The food was very good. Despite being very busy, the wait staff was very attentive. The biggest challenge to our evening was the ambience – very loud accordion music played via the speakers throughout the restaurant. Had to scream to have a conversation with people sitting next to us-unpleasant. we also found the lighting in the dining room rather strange – extremely bright glaring lights throughout the dining room seems like gymnasium lighting not dining.
