Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

I was running a hour or so early on my way out to Oakdale so I figured I'd peel off and grab some food, remembering about L'Gusto Cucina Italiana was a life saver! I stopped here the last time, and remembering how great the lasagna was...I had it again. Let me tell you...it was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

Incredibly delicious and amazing people work here. Amanda was so nice. Best Cioppino I have ever had. The Lasagna and Spaghetti Bolognese were great too. Can't even talk about how wonderful and decadent the Tiramisu was! The Spumoni was wonderful too. Just loved our dinner and can't wait to return. Very clean place too.

Holy cow. This place is deceiving. Hubby and I decided to have Italian food for lunch. I Yelped and found the artist location for an Italian restaurant. It had really high ratings which got my curiosity. Told hubby and we both decided to give this place a try. Very quaint and very quiet. There was one gentleman seating people to which only took us a couple of minuteseven though the dining room was pretty empty. We ordered the bruschetta and ordered his spaghetti while I ordered my sandwich. Holy Moses… The bruschetta was……..the best I have ever had. I expect this quality of an Italian restaurant in a cosmopolitan area like San Francisco or New York, not in the middle of a dinky town. We decided to have tiramisu as a dessert to end an amazing lunch and omg…..I made the right decision of getting us the dessert. I am so looking forward next time. I can still taste the bruschetta as I write my review after leaving the restaurant. And the ambience was to perfection. Italian music playing in the background (not too loud or too soft), the decoration was just right, not too cluttered or gaudy. No sports memorabilia or TV screens. Hubby would call it elegant but I call it quaint. We both agree this place deserve 5 stars. Looking forward to come back. I’m definitely trying their chicken Pomodoro next time. Price: $$ Quality: A++++ Service: A++++ Worth the price paid. I expect to pay this price at an Italian restaurant in the city and with mediocre quality. Those restaurant could learn from L’Gusto the meaning of quality Italian cooking.
