Buon Gusto in Harrogate

A wonderful meal, clean plates all around. A warm welcome from staff who are full of character. They made us feel right at home. The food was authentic, tasty, prompt and excellent value. Highly recommended.

One of the best rissotto and calamari in my life. The waiter was very friendly and helpful

amazing place with kind bartender. felt very welcomed, definitely recommend this place.

Great food, but the lighting is too bright and it was a little chilly during our visit

What a nice place , a lot choices , warm welcome and most imporant is good value for money , we will come back to try other dishes Gradzie

Gorgeous food & super reasonably priced! Nicely presented and really welcoming and cosy

Fantastic pasta and wine, great service too! Would definitely come back next time I’m in Harrogate, especially for an event meal

Had another brilliant meal at this lovely restaurant, food was top quality , fresh and delicious served with smile, I highly recommend the fix menu very good value for money .

This place was wonderful best place to eat with friends and family the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly highly recommende people to visit this place what place to spend time with friends and family

Was in Harrogate with family, the best food pasta and pizza was amazing. A must visit for people if you like something different and unique.

The pizza is awful. I've been to many Italian restaurants serving up authentic, fresh pizza with high quality ingredients and hand tossed dough, and this place isn't one of them. Tasted like a frozen pizza? No flavour and the ingredients tasted cheap as cheap can be. Not to Italian standards at all. You can save yourself the money and get a £4 pizza from your local burger place, the flavour is the exact same. How can you say you are Italian on your website and serve pineapple on pizza as well? I'm not fussy when it comes to pineapple either but any authentic Italian restaurant would never serve pineapple nor have it as an option. If you're looking for a proper pizza this isn't it. I spent over £20 as well - what a joke. Look elsewhere.

Fabulous authentic Italian restaurant. The lobster ravioli was amazing.

Great food, excellent service, great company xx

Delicious food and nice service. I recommend Delicious food and fantastic service! Fully recommended

Highly recommend. Delicious food 😋 ice cold prosecco 🥂and great coffee ☕

A group of 20 of us went and we were greeted with enthusiasm and good service by the staff. Food was plentiful and served hot to all of us, despite the size of the group

Fabulous service and food would highly recommend. Great value for money!!

Food was nice place was pleasant .we didn't book in side room no problem lovley.

Although we were half an hour late we were welcomed to our table. Very good service including a lovely old Italian gentleman in a bow tie! Excellent pizzas, and salad, with a tasty tiramisu to follow. Thoroughly recommended.

I love this place. The food is great and the staff are lovely. We were in early and had the fixed menu for the first time. We both loved both courses.

The food is amazing and the staff are so warm and welcoming. I had a vegetarian dish of soft gnocchi in a delicious rich sauce

What a little gem of a place, couldn't fault anything.. service and food was excellent.. wouldn't hesitate to recommend

A wonderful experience! 👏 We left speechless of how good and tasty the food was. We are big fans of italian food and without any exaggeration we can say it was the best Frutti di Mari pasta we’ve had in the UK so far! It goes amazingly with the white wine! The pizza was really good as well, the tomatoes sauce is exactly what it needs to be! The food came out quickly, the servers are very careful and attentive with the customers. 5 out of 5 and we would recommend to anyone to experience the food here.

Best lasagne ever. There - I’ve said it. It was a quiet Monday lunchtime so we were never going to get much of an atmosphere. However, it was due to be full and buzzing that evening. Each of the dishes we tried were excellent - but that lasagne…. Superb…. and as part of the lunchtime fixed price menu. Blimey.

All amazing! Authentic Italian! Great staff! Desserts were amazing too!

Food was delicious, great value for money. Best pizza I have ate in a long time

It was lovely. Welcome was a warm one with a little chat,then food & service was amazing

Spent 2 nights in Harrogate. Went first night and we were so impressed we returned the second night. Food was fantastic , best belly pork I've ever had. Staff were brilliant , nothing was too much trouble. Wish we lived closer

Our hotel recommended this italian and we couldn't of been happier. Fabulous fresh food with a brilliant service.

Dishes on offer are pretty much standard fare for Italian restaurants in the UK. We had starter and main course both of which tasted great and were well presented. Staff friendly, helpful and efficient.

All dishes our family had were delicious, service was excellent. Everytime we visit Harrogate we always go to this restaurant

Came here for the first time today. From the moment we walked in the service was perfect all throughout! The food was prepared with hardly any waiting time and cooked to perfection. A great first experience, it was a pleasant atmosphere too. While the sun was burning out, even though me and my fellow diners sat outside, you are just out of being in the sun directly so you can enjoy the weather comfortably. Will definitely be returning. Thanks again.

How I love me some Italian! I visited Buon Gisto. I ordered from the set menu a deep-fried prawn wrapped in filo pastry starter and a ham and mushroom pizza for the main. The prawn in the filo pastry was cooked to perfection. The seafood and pastry made for a delicious combination, soft and crunchy, and to top it off with the sweet and chilli sauce, which complimented the starters. The calamari was amazing, and the deep-fried squid in batter with garlic herb sauce to complement it was also chewy with the crunchy batter. The pizza was amazing; I wasn't expecting it to be the size it was, but it was a great pizza and good with a good choice of toppings. Cooked to perfection.

Beautiful food, excellent service, good prices.

Let’s face it - Harrogate can be slightly pretentious from time to time…this Restaurant however was a breath of fresh air - where instead of being ignored or judged as a single male looking for dinner after an exhausting few months of work without much respite - I was greeted with respect and professional, attentive service - and served great, authentic Italian food!

We'll what can I say pure food heaven 🥩🍽👌.....Apart from my 1st time here 3 of us ate and it was absolutely ffing fantastic awesome 💯🤟 I've traveled far and wide in my life and had some fine meals including my mother who is a fantastic cook and her sister my auntie who are epic cooks off a farming background BUT these lot are on another different Level 😮💯 Quite simply this is the BEST STEAKS AND MEALS IVE EXPERIENCED TO DATE 📅 FACT 💯🤟❤️👊 SEE YOU SOON is all I can to end this review 💯Thank you Alex what a Host 👌👊

A lively atmosphere, very relaxed evening fantastic food, you could be in Italy. Very attentive staff well done Arris excellent customer service, you made our evening

Lovely Italian restaurant with excellent service, delicious food and attentive waiting staff. Smallish, cosy inside area and outdoor tables as well. Advisable to book as it gets very busy.

Excellent food and service. Ravioli was amazing. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food! Best Italian outside of Italy we've ever had! I had the Bruschetta and Carbonara from the Early Bird menu. Fantastic value at £19. Both meals were bursting with flavour. Wish we could have gone again but were only visiting for a short time. We would definitely return if we were in the area again and would most definitely recommend. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was spotless - intimate with limited tables so definitely advise booking.

Have been here twice before Took my friend for her 60th birthday, arranged where we wanted to sit and that a dessert with sparkler would be bought out Both things confirmed in email Neither where done on the night. Big disappointment as I had already told her family what I had organised.

What a great italian restuarant, went with family on a friday evening, we had a mixture of pasta and calzone, all the food including desserts were fantastic, staff were great and had personality, will certainly revisit if in Harrogate again

Despite being small, Buon Gusto makes up for its size with on-point service, a well-decorated enterior, and filling food! Upon entering, it's a beautiful atmosphere with a bar head-on and modern furnished seating areas. The staff are welcoming and friendly - quick to seat customers and take their orders. We ordered off the set 2 course priced at £18.99 and, for our first time visiting, we had low expectations. However, we were quickly blown away! Usually, in finer restaurants like this, I expect the portions of set menus to be dainty, but they were filling, well-presented, and truly delicious! And the mains..! You can definitely expect to get your moneys worth with their dishes as the portions are BIG! Me and my family struggled to get through the last mouthfuls, and we even heard a table behind us remark about how filling they were. We couldn't resist but force room and order a dessert! Would definitely recommend it.

Had a wonderful meal at Buon Gusto Italian. Opted for the fillet steak which was perfectly cooked and a very generous size!! I’ve been a customer here since it opened and have never been able to fault the food, staff or atmosphere. Not surprised Buon Gusto has just won best Italian in Harrogate 2024. Well done!!

Food and service were incredible, definitely recommend!

I was hungry and tired when I stumbled upon this restaurant in Harrogate. I ordered an excellent dish of penne with king prawns followed by exquisite lemon sorbet served in a frozen lemon half. The ambience is friendly and relaxed with perfect service. Thank you Buon Gusto Harrogate!

Went at dinner time without a reservation and were seated upstairs. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Had a good amount of food to choose from. Both dishes were different types of pasta and both were nice but nothing spectacular. Downside was there is a limited drinks menu of only wines then soft drinks and limited desserts.

Yet another incredible dinner here. Every time my wife and I visit this place we feel like on a getaway to Italy. There's no other italian restaurant arond like Buon Gusto. The food is absolutely incredible, but what REALLY makes it special is the staff. And of course the tiramisu which is just is out of this world. Our very favorite full stop!

We went to Buon Gusto for a nice meal and we find out they got Best Italian Restaurant Award, and as soon as we had a bite we could see why. Gorgeous food, delicious pasta, my partner had the steak and it was absolutely amazing. Really recommend it, cannot wait to come back.

Food is absolutely lovely, and very reasonably priced. Customer service is very good and staff very friendly. Managed to squeeze us in on a busy Saturday evening with no reservation. Would recommend!

Food was excellent and the staff all of them well just superb, what great service

Food was disappointing and very bland. Starter was cold.

Delicious food, friendly services, highly recommend

We stumbled across this jem of a restaurant the food was absolutely amazing. The service was top class we will definitely be returning

Best seafood spaghetti I’ve ever had. Great service too.

Brilliant meal here today. Cheesy Garlic Bread was superb. Salmon tagliatelle was amazing. Would recommend to anyone. Special thank you to Alex for looking after us so well xxx

We went for a table of five , the service and food was absolutely incredible. The best risotto I have ever eaten . Thank you ......

Great service ,nothing was a problem to them even for a table of 10. Great food.

I enjoy Italian food. I am currently away with my parents, and my Wife (who has food allergies). When my Wife and I go to a restaurant, she normally struggles to find a choice of meals due to her allergies. Buon Gusto's menu is extensive, and gave my Wife the opportunity to actually have a number of choices which she was excited to try. The food was absolutely amazing, easily the best Italian food I have eaten in the UK, and I'm the wrong side of 50. All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and the experience of being served by people who obviously enjoy what they do. We had starters, mains and deserts (with drinks), for @ £40 per head which quite frankly is exceptional value for money. We definitely want to eat here again before we return home. P.S. the lemon sorbet is 👌

Tried for the First time this evening, staff very friendly and the not too mention how amazing the food was so good, would definitely be back soon!!

We met at Buon Gusto for our Supporting Older People Dining Out Club. There was 15 of us and I cannot thank the staff enough for serving wonderful, delicious food with fantastic service. Every dish was tasty and beautifully presented. The service was prompt and Buon Gusto could not do enough to make the occasion special. Thank you - we will be back.

Authentic Italian that offers vegan cheese for the stone baked pizza so we will definitely go back next time in Harrogate

Fantastic fixed menu and price. Lovely service and fabulous flavours . Very clean toilets. Tasty garlic cheesy bread.

Delicious home cooked Italian food - lasagne was excellent and portion size good. Relaxed atmosphere and gorgeous Tiramisu !

We had tried to get in over the road but 8:15pm and door firmly closed , their loss my gain. Was treating parents to a break for a few days and first night here didn’t want to roam too far from the hotel. Happened upon this absloute gem! Lovely place , very welcoming staff and nothing was a problem. Great seat in the window. Drinks were perfect and food was just ridiculously good , to the point Mother said “ best she’s ever had” and I tend to agree. We ate like kings. Please , if in Harrogate , and you like your Italian food how it should be , this is the place to go. Bill seemed better than fair ( may have missed something off but not checked yet) and left a nice well deserved tip.

Took my wife and parents here while visiting Harrogate as we fancied an Italian (pizza/pasta). We had a very enjoyable meal of Bruschetta, garlic mushrooms, garlic dough balls, Calzone pizzas and Arrabbiata. We ordered the recommended bottle of Malbec, it was OK but we didn’t think it was worth the £40 price. The staff were friendly, polite and accommodating. Would recommend!

Visited for the first time tonight and found the reception, staff and ambience perfect for me and the food delightful. Can't wait to return.

Love this place me and my partner are here now and I was eager to write a review, Bruno is great front of house/waiter I’d go again just to see his cheery face! The food amazing highly recommend

A dinner at Buon Gusto feels like a little gateway to Italy. This is a REAL Italian restaurant not your chains with real Italians and real Italian food. The experience felt so romantic in the cosy and beautiful atmosphere, the staff were wonderful. And let’s not forget the food was 5 star. The tiramisu was literally cosmic and the best I’ve ever had!!

What a find! While visiting Harrogate we found this gem of restaurant. The staff were very friendly and attentive

It is impossible to find fault with anything regarding our dining experience at the Buon Gusto. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The food was excellent — we had the chicken parmigiana and chicken in a mushroom and white wine sauce, and both were very tasty and cooked to perfection. The desserts of chocolate fudge cake and lime & lemon cheesecake were delicious too. We would definitely go back there to dine if we visit Harrogate again.

Visited this restaurant to celebrate my birthday - a spontaneous, decision so didn’t have a booking. 9pm on a busy Saturday night and they found us a cosy table for two. The place was busy, alive with chatter and laughter. The staff, although busy - still had time to be friendly and polite. There’s an authentic Italian vibe going on too with the staff - feels like a family run restaurant. The food orders were taken quickly; the menu is really comprehensive and caters for all tastes. ‘Man sized’ portions for both starters and main courses. Absolutely delicious tasting, fresh and authentic Italian feeling. Simply devine mozzarella and buffalo tomato and olive bread starters followed by the tastiest risottos we’ve ever eaten. Fresh ingredients, colourful on the plate and cooked to perfection. Absolutely no complaints. Would definitely go there again. If (like me) you’re a small eater, ask for a smaller portion - I hated leaving any as it was just too good, but I literally couldn’t move.

We have been there a few times and the staff is always friendly and the food delicious. The spaghetti with meatballs and lasagna were very tasty. The chef prepared a lovely pasta dish for our toddler, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely our favourite Italian in town 😊

We had an amazing dinner here last night, pate to start, I had ravioli and my partner had chicken ala crem pasta both absolutely gorgeous. Really friendly service too - will definitely come again when visiting Harrogate :)

Lovely welcome, beautiful food, great premises. We just dropped in on the off chance and will be visiting again when we can. Perfect. Thank you.

Good early bird fixed price menu. Still same as last year but the prices have jumped. They do a good job feeding lots of people quickly.

Service was amazing, waiter super friendly and attentive. We went on a Saturday night, restaurant was busy but foot arrived really good . Food was amazing, recommended with Buon gusto risotto !! Will definitely return again!!

Authentic Italian restaurant with old school owner, waiters and chef who are actually speaking Italian (and English obviously) but know the local area history also. Please note that my bill price was 2 courses and also included 2 large house wines, ie good value. Open kitchen. Old school chef. Great wine selection, display and ambience, Italian music playing. A real taste of Italy in HG1. Respectable prices; top notch place and food. Great Arincini nicely presented, delicious Americano pizza large size and served with a smile who also offered pepper and chilli oil to to add.

This place will never fail to impress me. I have been coming for years and every visit creates a better experience. Great service, beautiful surroundings and food to die for. We had couple of starters and prawns were just perfect. Followed by fillet steak and 1.2kg tomahawk steak recommended by the owner. We both could not praise their chef enough. Thank you Boun Gusto x

Great atmosphere very good food and friendly attentive service

Lively authentic atmosphere food was amazing good portion size probably didn't need extra garlic bread but ate it anyway ...delicious ...would highly recommend

On a weekend break, we had booked in advance due to earlier reviews. We were not disappointed. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed, warmly and enthusiastically. Service was friendly and efficient. The choice on the menu was really good, especially the meat free options, but nothing prepared us for the food. The starters were quickly served and cooked to perfection and the mains were outstanding. I don't think I have ever enjoyed Italian food this much (and I love Italian food). Thank you Buon Gusto, I'm just sad that I don't live in Harrogate!

After our last visit we enjoyed it so much we thought we would try it again, and we weren’t let down. The food was amazing again and the service was just as good , it was busy and it gave a really good atmosphere. We will definitely be back and enjoy a lovely evening like we had every time .

We had a lovely meal and experience at this lovely Italian and were given a table right in the front window. We’ve visited Harrogate for years and eaten at many of the restaurants around Buon Gusto but somehow never been there. We will definitely be returning 👍🤗.

Best Italian restaurant in harrogate

Not been in for a while but was as good maybe better than we remember the manager recognised us on arrival which was a nice tough food and service was spot on everybody commented on how much they enjoyed the meals there was a nice atmosphere in the room we will definitely be back very soon.

Absolutely brilliant time had by us at Buon Gusto food was exceptional service from Genti was spot on nothing was too much trouble 10/10

What an amazing experience went in on a cold windy night was lovely and warm on entering food was outstanding as well as was the service. We will definitely be back very soon.

Amazing food attentive staff nothing too much for them great atmosphere lovely manager. Complements too all the staff Definitely coming again

As soon as we walked into the restaurant the staff were very welcoming and it felt like a really good environment. Also, when we were seated the manager came and greeted us and made sure we had a good night. The food was amazing and is definitely a top hit for Harrogate itself. Will make sure to come more often 100%!

Family dinner on Saturday night the place was so busy had spaghetti carbonara kids had pizza everything was perfect

Went with my pals for dinner on a very busy Saturday night. Had antipasto and garlic pizza bread to share. Mains calzone and special pizza all were spot in. Will definitely recommend this place

Booked a table for 7.30. On arriving were told the table wasn't ready and would be at least 10 minutes. No apology for this or offer of a drink while we waited. Eventually got seated and our order was taken. After waiting for 45 minutes the food eventually came out. Throughout the meal we were not asked if everything was to our liking (the food was great although the bruscetta was given to us rather than the garlic bread we ordered) or offered any other drinks. Our waitress was obviously not in the best mood and not in love with her job that night. To be honest we felt really disappointed by the whole experience after reading the reviews and expecting better things.

While in Harrogate for a couple of days we wanted to eat at an Italian restaurant and we were pleased to find Buon Gusto. The restaurant is traditional Italian with a lovely atmosphere. Great menu, wonderful food and excellent service. We would definitely visit often if we lived nearby.

My husband & I visited Harrogate, we found this lovely little place.(5.1.2024) We had the best meal. The staff made us feel so welcome, the place was so popular but the waiters & waitress still took time out to chat. Would highly recommend if visiting Harrogate. 🥰

Amazing food, traditional Italian, brilliant service. Would definitely recommend and come back again!

Just had a lovely meal here. Everything was delicious, especially the pollo sorpresa.

First time at this particular restaurant.Downstairs is small but cosy.The food was excellent as was the service - very efficient and extremely friendly.Will definitely visit again.
