Ate at knutsford branch today. If you visit please not order the carbonara. Two of our party ordered it and both left it. Really unpleasant over powering cheese after taste. This is not carbonara

Difficult to find a place with availability last minute in Knutsford on a Saturday, this was the only place left. We went for the steak experience £105. We know chateaux Briand needs to be cooked medium rare but quite a lot of it was raw, stone cold and inedible, actually hard to cut, when you are paying that much you expect perfection. The plates were also stone cold, big no no for me, and when the steak is barely warm to start this doesn’t help. When the waiter asked if all was ok and we told him no it’s too rare, he was not interested, I mentioned it 3 times to him, no response. It was tasty but parts were inedible so although we did indeed have an experience it wasn’t the one we were expecting. Wine was a nice Ripasso and the shared dessert was also nice.

We went for our meal at Gusto on a Friday evening and it was absolutely perfect, I don't think we could fault a thing! The staff were so welcoming from the moment we walked in, we were served by Roger who was an absolute gem, he is so lovely and kind - very attentive, always had a smile and a laugh with us, and was always checking to make sure everything was okay. I had the burger which was definitely one of the best i've had, and my partner had the Ragú pasta which she said was amazing too. We also had the brownie with ice cream for dessert which was delicious. We had such a special evening and the atmosphere, the food, the service and how quickly everything arrived was absolutely amazing! I just want to thank you all again, and also a massive thank you to Roger who made our experience so personal and so memorable, he really is a credit to Gusto, and we will definitely be back very soon!

My wife and I haven’t been for 12 months or so and we were shocked at the decline in the standard of food and service we received. The pizzas we ordered for our main course were hard and dry and my wife’s Margarita had virtually no filling. Service had to be prompted and it is clear that this restaurant is no longer the special place we once knew.

Extremely disappointing meal. Booked to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Calimari arrived uncooked. Slow service. Starters for the kids were the size of full pizzas. Non alcoholic cocktails were undrinkable. Food was extremely average - the veil was presented with five tiny roast potatoes and a transparent, slightly brown liquid which was impersonating a jus. No one could finish their meal. Politely declined the 12.5% service charge automatically added to my bill. Basically a case study in style over substance.

We tried the bottomless brunch & it was disappointing compared to all other experiences at Gusto. Some of the food menu options weren’t available & no alternatives were offered the servers attitude, was very much “computer says no!” Not smiley or cheery at all. We arrived at 3 & by 3:34 we’d had 1 glass of Prosecco! I’ll go back to Gusto again, but definitely not for the bottomless option, they sap all the fun out of it.

Food was questionable, Seabass fillets very small compared to other Restaurants in the chain. Tuna steaks past their best with slimy texture. One of party felt ill all night after having the Tuna. Don’t bother with the cannoli, I asked if they were freshly made and was told they were. The shells had come out of a mass produced box and the pistachio filling only had a few crushed nuts on each end instead of mixed into the filling. 12.5% service charge automatically added. As requested I responded to feedbackknutsford@gustorestaurants.uk.com over 2 month ago and have still not had a response.

The food was burnt and tasted weird then no one asked us how the food was and just swiftly collected the plates. We also waited ages to order a drink whilst ours had been empty for a long time and we had to ask another server who wasn’t even zoning our area whilst a load of servers were just stood round talking. We were also overcharged. It’s definitely gone down hill as I have never once had a bad meal or experience here before.

Went for a birthday meal with the family, sadly it was a total let down. The food was average at best. Carbonara was ok, but the lasagna that was ordered was disgusting, the pasta was burnt to a crisp and the inside was lumps of grizzle and tomato, it was just awful. On to the service or lack of it, We were seated quickly and orders taken. We ordered drinks which took an age to arrive, we were half way through the starters when they finally did. After the mains arrived that was the end of the service, no one came over to ask if we were ok or food was ok, no offer for further drinks, no offer of a desert menu after we'd finished the mains, so after waiting for a while we got up and left, couldn't get out of there quick enough. We paid as we left, even then no question of was everything ok. To add insult, there was a service charge on the bill which I only noticed when I got home. Outrageous! There are so many options in Knutsford, go elsewhere

We came here for a family lunch on Saturday. The staff were really lovely, the food was absolutely appalling! The garlic butter served to my children as part of their starter (dough petals) was off!! The butter had a very strange smell to it and tasted bitter! God knows where it had been kept!! My husband had the lasagne…the lasagne sheets were so charred on the corners they were actually stuck together, the middle was hideously overcooked, the meat didn’t even have a meat texture to it..it was just mush. I had the rigatoni arrabbiata- the sauce had a very strange vinegar taste to it and the pasta was undercooked, not al dente, just horrendously undercooked! It’s really not a good sign when a so-called Italian restaurant can’t even get pasta right!! The chips (frozen) on the children’s menu weren’t too bad, my daughter’s burger wasn’t really a burger, it was just a ball of meat! It was as if we were given the leftovers from the night before. We all left feeling pretty ill.

Our waitress was lovely but the food was not. 3 Garlic prawns with not a sign of garlic butter. Lukewarm on a cold plate crab fettuccini quite dry with a few bits of crab. 3 of us had this dish and left half as it was so bad. The pizzas looked boring and very little on them.

The food was authentic and delicious at this Italian restaurant. I loved the rich flavors but smaller portions of their dishes. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, but the music was too loud for my taste. The service was friendly, but not very attentive. It took a long time to get our orders and our bill. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, but I wish they would turn down the volume and speed up the service

We have been to Gusto this evening for my god-daughters birthday, we have been many times before . I hate to say the experience was terrible . Table was booked for 7-15 @ 7-35 still no table , Martin ( maybe manager ) took us to a table downstairs, not our original table , next to a draughty door and no atmosphere at all. Waited over 30 mins to order our drinks and another over 30 mins to get them , back up at the bar apparently. How hard is it to open 2 bottles of wine and make a mojito 🙄 40 mins to order food and we got our starters at 8-40. One server , lovley girl , very apologetic when we were paying but she was running downstairs basically single handed so couldn’t give her tables the service they should have had . When paying we asked to speak to the manager and have the service charge deducted. Martyn did not apologise only tried to blame us, his staff , the people who were at our table , trying to justify himself as according to him he had done everything he could , sorry Martyn you were totally out of order in the way you responded to our complaint, we didn’t want money off or anything free just a sincere apology which you didn’t give . Sad to say Gusto is now off our list of places to eat

We visit gusto regularly & made the most of the January 50% off offer. It’s always friendly service & a good varied choice on the menu. The lovely aroma of garlic pizza bread always prompts me to order a side portion to satisfy the garlic craving. If you fancy a smaller meal, there’s the option of a small portion of the pasta dishes. It’s always busy with a pleasant buzz of activity giving it a nice atmosphere without being too loud. As a returning customer, the staff always pop over to say hello & welcome back. Great customer service & good food.

Came here for my 20th Birthday, the customer service felt as if they didn’t want us here, not greeted with a smile and every time we asked for a drink or requested something it was a short answer of yes no mannerism for a paying customer, when serving food it was just put in front of us no enjoy your meal and no questions of if we were in need of anything eg:more drinks/sauces. When ordering deserts we asked for 10 minutes for our food to settle and got told the kitchen is closing pressuring us to order now instead of relaxing, as well as telling the waiter it was my birthday there was nothing to celebrate, no happy birthday plate or drink or anything. It’s almost as if there was no care/recognition considering I work in hospitality myself this service was awful and I would not return or recommend to family/friends either. Very disappointing. As well as adding a service charge of 12.5% my opinion is that it should be 5 considering none of the team enjoy their jobs.

Went at 6.30pm for Gustos half price food offer. Previous meals we had there were tasty and great, service always good as it was that night. Gustos were you having a laugh this time? The only main meat course on the full menu available was a choice of only a sole chicken or pork dish. Our starters prawns and meatballs were rather tasteless. The limited (forced choice) of main was a luke warm, dry chicken breast cut in half sitting on some oily tomatoes and potatoes. Expressed our disatisfaction. Left main course uneaten and went home to cook something. Least the wine was tasty. What's happened to you Gusto Knutsford , so disappointed ??

The food has absolutely nothing to do with Italian cuisine so do not go if you fancy real Italian food. All the dishes we ordered had exactly the same ingredients: pulled pork and tomato sauce. Just fyi: I’m Italian and pulled pork is definitely not an Italian dish and definitely not a pizza topping. Lazy. Unauthentic. Incredibly overpriced. The waiting staff were nice although the venue is obviously understaffed.

Visited this week with a group of 5 friends. No welcome at the door. Service incredibly slow. Half an hour to take our order, and food did not arrive all at the same time. The food was delicious when it did arrive. After our first round of drinks, that was it. No one came back to offer subsequent drinks. After paying the bill, no staff to see us out, or say goodbye. We felt as though we were an inconvenience. We meet up at Gusto’s in Knutsford regularly, but this is our last time. It’s not the first time this has happened. A meal should be an occasion, and this was not.

Firstly the good parts. Service and ambience good. Had a lovely table in the conservatory. There was the a la carte menu to choose from or the Xmas lunch menu for £30. We chose the a La carte. Started with the calamari which was nearly all batter. I have had the dish before at Gusto but I’m not sure if it was cost cutting or they were short of ingredients but £9.50 for some scraps of batter seemed a bit steep to me. Never mind ordered the sea bass for mains. I don’t have a large appetite but even to me the offering looked a bit meagre however the main problem with the dish was the fish was so overcooked it was dry tough and rubbery with no flavour. Yes I could have complained but we were with friends and nobody came to check if our meals were ok until we had almost finished. My wife had the lasagne which was fine but again portion size was on the small size. We didn’t bother with puddings but an espresso coffee was fine. We go to Gusto 3 to 4 times a year. Would we return? I’m not sure …… I didn’t feel we got value for money on this occasion and there is plenty of others venues in Knutsford.

Family birthday and met up for celebratory meal. Great attmosphere. Food was very nice, plentyful and tasty. Kids meals were good value for money....clean plates by all of them. Highly recommend the bruschetta, could have eaten that all night!! we were sat towards the front of the restaurant near the windows, and good to see how many people walking pass were viewing the menu in the door. Was busy considering iit wasn't really peak time, but noticied lot of younger clientelle and couples, maybe out for some food then drinks in Knutsford. Typical restaurant priceson the drinks, and had a vairent for the spirits and wine. limnited on the beer option. Good to see they also cater for those liking a cocktail or three (like the females in our party). Would recommend this place, the staff were friendly.

Service was good, food nice. Disappointed as I took my 2 children for lunch. They had margaritas. One wanted just chicken and ham added- £19 for one pizza. Not that much topping to be honest . I ordered the pepperoni from the menu with onions/ chillis / peppers but came just pepperoni nothing else. Genuine misunderstanding but I was charged more than the menu price to add pepperoni to a margarita. Very disappointed , didn’t bother to stay for dessert.

Thank you guys so so much I appreciate everything, I will always return because the food and service has always been outstanding everytime I’ve come but last night they went above and beyond and I believe they deserve some praise and recognition.

Gusto is always a treat, and I find they are one of a handful of restaurants that can cook a really decent lasagne. Our lunch didn't start well, though, when lasagna wasn't available (to be replaced with a mediocre arrabiata), and despite only being 1/3 full, service was so painfully slow, we had to change our plans for the afternoon. The little niceties ("do you need more drinks?", "How is your food?" or "sorry for the delay, your food won't be long") simply didn't happen, and we felt quite let down by poor service, without any apologies. I'm sure this isn't typical of Gusto, and we've had many good meals here (and surely will in the future), but I think it would be a good idea for managers to refresh servers' minds of how the small courtesies and communications can make or break a dining experience. On this occasion, Gusto got it quite wrong, and I hope they can take this constructive criticism on board. We'll be back, but I don't think we would be too tolerant if this (hopefully one-off) experience was repeated. A bit more effort please Knutsford.

Hello, visited Knutsford Gusto last night and felt I should write a review to compliment the staff and chef. From the moment we arrived we were greeted and had quick service from the bar for drinks before we sat. We were able to put back the table booking by half an hour and when we were seated and food arrived it was so tasty, hot and presented so well. We have chateaubriand x 2 and lasagne. The waiter has worked there for 25 years and provided excellent friendly service to us aswell as another waiter who ensured my food allergy was dealt with, which is very important to me. Great relaxed atmosphere and great staff and chef. Highly recommend! 👍

Never had a problem before so happily called in today for lunch… it was a 9/10 experience… food was simply delicious, the deduction of one point only because the waitress wasn’t the best, not bad but not good… but really, the food was fabulous, the Calamari probably the best I’ve had ever …

Table was only ready 15 minutes after booking time, even though the table was free just after we arrived (girl at the front was too busy texting on her phone). We were sat down (15 minutes late) but then no-one served us for a further 15 minutes (for drinks)). Had to chase the food order which then came quickly but then no-one asked if we needed anything condiments (like paremsan). Don't blame individual staff but just poor experience overall.

The staff Bullied my daughter over my asking for the 20 per cent service charge to be removed, (as I had sent her with a cash tip). I had called earlier in the day to ask for it to be removed and staff made her feel very awkward asking why her mum had asked for it to be removed and if I knew the manager. It was her 15th birthday. I have worked in the industry for over 20 years and don’t agree with a service charge being automatically put on, especially not a 20% service charge on a mediocre meal with bad service.

Probably one of the worst meals I have had out in years. 9 people, total cost £459.91. I should have complained there and then however I was with business guests and did not want to cause a scene. 5 of us had steak, terrible choice...

A pleasant restaurant offering mainly Italian food but does have some English choices. The staff are pleasant and helpful. Quite hot if you’re sat in the conservatory

We visit here a lot and the service is impeccable. Staff go above and beyond. And the food is equally as good. We would recommend booking in as it’s such a well known place. Thank you gusto !

Disappointed in this visit when compared to previous times we’ve dined here. Both food and service were not the usual standard, possibly a reflection on how busy they were and staff just couldn’t keep up with orders. We were told a few times orders were...

Very Disappointing, the fungi starter not that pleasant - toast went soggy with the over garlic mushrooms. Mains:- Saffron risotto with ossobuco- the risotto was overpowered by the saffron and the ossobuco accompanied with it was quite a bland sauce. There early bird menu is now NOT available and has been replaced by there 'Christmas Special Menu' at £25 for 2 courses & a £10 charge for 175mil house wine . If you had booked a table when the early bird menu was advertised, I'm sorry but they make no exceptions, you will have to have the more expensive Christmas menu .

Visited for a Xmas evening out, four of us, the ambience of the place was magical. My only gripe was my friends had chicken in a sauce, this came with fries, no veg included or even the option for veg, the price wasn't cheap, so feel they need to add vegetables with fries or even better new potatoes. I'm giving 4 stars, for my meal, which was delicious, I had the sea bass which included veg and fries, so better value.
