We first visited this restaurant over 30 years ago but stopped going when the service was very rude one night. Recently, one of our favorite restaurants closed down and we were in search of a new alternative. While scrolling through TripAdvisor, we rediscovered Buon Gusto and decided to give it another try. We were pleased that we did. We were seated promptly and our server, Chris, took great care of us. The restaurant is BYOB, so we were able to save on the alcohol costs. We were served a delicious warm bread that was very satisfying. The main menu was a bit limited, but there were many options to choose from. We had a simple mixed green salad with a delicious dressing. Although we had to w...
My wife and I love this restaurant. While we live in New Hampshire, over the last decade we have often visited the Closter area because our daughter lives nearby. When in New Jersey, we go to Buon Gusto at least once per week, and sometimes twice, because the food is various, well prepared, and very reasonably priced. The owners are gracious, friendly, competent, and attentive. They have an extensive menu of Italian staples and always an equally extensive selection of specials. Moreover, they are always ready to accommodate dietary restrictions in preparing dishes, and I have several. The veal marsala or veal Milanese are my wife's favorites, and I often order the pasta primavera or chicken...
This restaurant has been one of my favorite local spots for years now. Since the start of COVID-19, I have preordered three times in the past three weeks over the phone with my credit card for curbside pickup. Each time, I have been impressed with the setup in the parking lot, where a table is waiting for me. The owner, Joseph, or one of his staff members, announces my order when it's ready and brings it out for me to pick up. Joseph always greets me warmly and we exchange pleasantries. I have been consistently pleased with my order of zuppa di pesch fra diablo with linguini, which I have ordered three times in a row now. I plan to continue coming here on a weekly basis during COVID-19. I ha...
When we want very good Italian comfort food in Closter, we go to Rudy’s which is a pizzeria and more with a liquor restaurant. However, when we want finer dining, we go just down the road to Buon Gusto which is a BYOB restaurant. Buon Guesto is the smaller of the two restaurants and can fill up quickly on weekends but worth a wait. It does now take reservations unlike in the past. And the service can be a little slow in spots. But the food is truly excellent. We have never had a mediocre meal there. If your schedule is flexible, we suggest their early bird special: the first hour they are open every day, they offer 50% off the second entree. Even without the discount, the menu prices are rea...

This restaurant is a hidden Italian gem. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, willing to make any changes or substitutions to ensure your satisfaction. The traditional Italian food is delicious with generous portions, whether it's seafood, fish, or pasta. The dishes are always fresh and prepared with care, unlike other restaurants that make false claims. Bringing your own wine is allowed and the prices are very reasonable. We have been coming here for over 25 years and have always been happy with our experience.
We have been steady patrons of Buon Gusto, mainly in Irvington NY which is now closed and now their flagship and long standing restaurant in Closter. Simply put, I have never been to an Italian restaurant where the preparation, quality of food, service, and warmth has rivaled this gem. Pricing is very reasonable, a byob without a corkage charge, preparation creative and wonderful. You simply have to try it. Reservations are highly recommended. Say hello to Joe when you arrive.
Enjoy a nice meal, with your favorite wine. I enjoyed the Zuppa di Pesce. I was good and had the vegetable instead of pasta. Others in had a veal and a chicken dish, all prepared in very delicious sauces.
everyone was very friendly, even the closest to the table. the food was tasty, the service was perfect and the ambiente was welcoming. we will try out other offers on the menu.

This restaurant has been around for many years for a few reasons. The first is value and the second is that there are no corkage charges.
