Il Gusto in East Lindsey

Had the offer on the Lasagne today with my wife (Thursday 31st October at lunchtime.) Food presented very nice my only little complaint Lasagne could have been a little hotter in temperature and tastier with a little bit more garlic ( personal choice) nice surroundings and the place was spotless. Would I return most definitely 👍

Called in for breakfast, nicely decorated and relaxing ambiance But disappointed they didn’t offer poached eggs? Loved that they put beans in a separate pot ( hate beans and tinned toms mixed on plate) and they were hot, items were good quality ( not that cheap mushy sausage) if any niggle? Eggs were a little too hard for my liking Would definitely go back and try Sunday lunch or tea time meals Thank you

A lovely little cafe, decorated really nicely. Staff were very attentive and freindly. We had lunch here (the halloumi ciabatta) which was gorgeous and breakfast the next day. Would highly recommend.

Visit this place on a regularly basis and always been great however the last few times there has been a few issues. First was breakfast when they had no goats cheese. This makes the meal and without it wasn’t great. The service was very very slow as well. Second was limited items on the lunchtime menu when half were breakfast items. Thirdly went to go in there just after 3 only to be told we couldn’t have food only drinks when it was food which we went in for. They close at 4 pm so surely it was enough time. Instead they told us no and carried on chatting amongst themselves. Please please please don’t let it slip anymore as it will be a shame as always been fabulous

Lovely to have il gusto open again. Great coffee and cakes, lovely breakfast menu and brilliant Sunday lunch. Staff are really lovely to deal with

I had a rump steak and wife had lasagne and the steak was huge and tasted lovely! Wife had double pink gin and I had a pint of peroni good value for money👍

The food here is always fresh, hot and delicious. The service staff are always friendly and polite. I've tried quite a few dishes now and they never fail to please.

Visited with 4 friends. We all choose different breakfasts and all were delicious. High quality and good value for money.

Disappointing to find out mid lunch that the seating area for dog owners also allows smoking. As non smokers, it completely ruined our lunch, which was lovely.

Absolutely lovely food , well presented and totally delicious, big portions. It’s spotless and very well presented and the staff are all friendly and really helpful. We eat here every time we visit Chapel St Leonard’s , Thankyou for making us welcome .

Had a lovely lunch here. Tomato and red pepper soup was the best I have had! Lovely bread on the sandwich. Highly recommended 👍

Another superb Sunday lunch. Loads of food, all very well cooked and of a high quality. Had the sharing roast the last few times, which is excellent value and there’s always enough for 3. The new gelato and crepe bar is open next door now, and that looks great.

Love my breakfast at Il Gusto when we visit Chapel St Leonard’s .. friendly staff .. nice and clean and “poopie” friendly

We went for Saturday morning breakfast and although we were only out for a standard full English, we tried il Gusto’s chef’s number 1 and it was outstanding! Buttered bruschetta topped with two fried eggs and streaky bacon. There was also a delicious crème cheese topped with cherry tomatoes and avocado. The coffee was also as good as it gets. We were so impressed that we returned for Sunday roast the following day. We were equally impressed and being Skegness locals, haven’t eaten a better roast in the area. The meat was all super-tender and it was nice to have belly pork as an option, on top of your usual lamb and beef. The best bit was the fact that the whole meal was served in a delicious home-made Yorkshire pudding. We’ll now certainly be regulars and it’s completely worth the drive out to Chapel.

Great breakfast as always! We just have to keep going back ! Such a good addition to this Village ! Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs is good quality and lots of it . Oh and the Sunday roast is wonderful And of course the friendly staff make this place a must visit

I wouldn’t usually leave a review for a coffee and cake, but wow. The Battenberg home made cake is to die for. The coffee (with oat milk) superb! Service with a smile too. If only we could try all the cakes but we are only here for a day. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area

Parked up in a free space, told to move as was out of front. Apparently blocked view because was in a van. Sat down and given menus however it wasn’t apparent where breakfasts was on menu, when I asked, they rudely suggested it was on there, and gestured me back to me seat after I asked them to show me, when I found on my own accord what I was looking for, I realised that the prices were extremely high for a standard breakfast. I immediately left and decided to go elsewhere. Another thing is the atmosphere, on top of the extremely rude staff, obscenity was being played on the cafe radio which is very unfriendly for younger audience and for myself, who thought it was very unfitting for a restaurant. Will not return. I heavily advise you not to go here yourself. I wish there was a 0/5 option.

Well what a disappointment after our last visit a while ago. The Lasagna was tasteless and bland worse of all it wasn't at Lasagna temperature. In fact just warm. And there food is not cheap. Shall not bother going to eat there again. 2 out of 10.

Beyond fantastic.. Really welcoming staff, friendly and helpful! The food was spectacular!! Yum, yum, yum!! Every bite was amazing! Highly, highly recommended!! A************

Had calamari starter, very poor, calamari was small and overcooked/overpriced. Main meals of pasta with meatballs and parmesan chicken breast were superb so didn't mention the poor calamari to them.

1 ordered a latte with my meal.The latte came two thirds full with froth taking up some of the remaining third. I asked for a top up which was done and I said to the waitress thank-you I will come here again. She shrugged her...

Ate lunch here with the family while staying nearby. Lots of choice on the menu, including some healthy choices. Food arrived quickly and was very tasty and good value. We did have to send back some scampi, as it wasn't cooked properly, but we were...

We call in here for a tea/coffee when walking in the area. Popular with people for breakfast, although we’ve never eaten here. Always happy with the service, drinks & prices.

Great place to eat best in the Village ! Good Selection of food, service by senior staff is excellent! Coffees are of good quality and value Not your normal greasy spoon ! Thank god !

Called in this morning, 9th august 2022, for breakfast. Both mine and my wife's cooked breakfast were virtually cold. I mentioned this to the person at the till when I went to pay the bill , (small lady with long dark hair). She told me...

We came across Il Gustos, looking for somewhere that served fresh food and was something different to the regular fish and chip shops! We were delighted when we walked inside, the decor is sophisticated and very clean. We chose two wraps for our lunch which...

Had a meal with my family here. My lasagne had fatty bits of meat in it to the point where I couldn't eat it. I raised this with the waitress who told me that as it was minced meat that's what you get. She then...

4 of us went for breakfast, 3 of us had the large breakfast which was lovely, piping hot and very filling, sister inlaw had the bacon and mushroom cob again excellent. Staff were very friendly and attentive and the restaurant spotless. Highly recommended.

Brilliant little cafe/restaurant for chapel. Was clean and spacious inside, was fairly busy for a Monday so that was good to see. Food was ace and service was good not to mention decent prices. Deffo will be returning!

Had a lovely meal on Saturday,4 of us,good friendly service,had Burgers,Wrap, Omelette all very nice,,Good size portions food made to order,very reasonable prices,we had a special little server,my husband called her sausage,she said she was not dog,so not dog I hope you got your £2...

We ate at Il Gusto for 3 consecutive mornings while staying in Chapel St Leonard. The food was delicious. I have not tasted such lovely bacon in ages...not salty, not fatty, didn't shrink to nothing on the plate. I had both a full breakfast and...

We were shocked to see this place closed down in March but thank goodness its been having work done and is now back up and running. More seating under cover outside but dog owners have been relegated to a few tables to the side of...

1st I was forgotten so had a long wait (wasn't busy). The hot chocolate was nice but I was dissatisfied with the bacon barm. The barm was a good size but when I looked under the lid there were 2 mean pieces of bacon which...

Nice coffee, foods ok. The service can be very slow especially when busy. It is pricey. Some of th staff could do with some customer service attitude training.

No friendly welcome No friendly vibs, no eye contact , uncomfortable Menu very disappointing Not vegetarian friendly as stated Tables very sticky Don’t bother

Was pleasantly surprised, kids had huge tasty omelettes whilst we had chicken parmasan which was lovely with tasty chips as well.

Very friendly staff and made to feel welcome. Clean and comfy surroundings. Great coffee and cakes. Would definitely recommend and come again.

Disgusted with the meal and the customer service paid £18 for two club sandwiches just 3 slices of mushy bread. Hardly any filling complained to staff no apology absolute rip off avoid at all cost. Breakfasts are crap and expensive too!

I think this is the best place for breakfast in Chapel St Leonards. Really tastefully decor, the staff are lovely and very friendly. The food is of a high quality - not cheap bacon or sausages, and is freshly cooked to order. If you value...

Been here for coffee, breakfast and lunch on numerous occasions over the last 2 years and have always had a great experience. Very good, high quality food, good coffee and a decent range of drinks. Chloe and the rest of the FH team are really...

Not bad at all decent staff and food ,something apart from the usual seaside fare, good steak sandwich with lovely gravy.

Great food but really should be open of an evening closes to early so missing out on the adult night life during the tourist season. Good service but the menu should be for evenings.

On a very wet day Il Gusto was a welcome refuge. Nicely decorated with well spaced tables the menu was varied with something for everyone. The food was excellent with a reasonably priced set menu for the adults and the kids chose a single dish...

I went with my family and absolutely enjoyed the service and the food which were terrifically good. One of the nicest places to eat! P. S especially the sunday roast was the best:)

£25 of my hard earned money down the drain I had 10oz rump or should I say 10oz lump of gristle not fit for human consumption I wouldn't even feed that to my dogs. I told the waitress, she could see that I had left...

We visited this cafe a couple of times on our holiday. It was our favourite cafe in Chapel St. Leonards. Tables are nicely spaced for the current situation. Food is excellent and great value. Only thing that let them down is I ordered Salmon Bruchetta...

Friendly helpful staff. Good service and good freshly cooked food. Seating spaced for social distancing. We sat inside but nice to have folding doors open as it was a lovely sunny day. Will go again.

This place is much needed in the Chapel area. It’s very modern and extremely clean. We’ve had breakfast here as well as coffee & cake and afternoon snacks. The food is great and nicely presented. The staff professional and friendly. Highly recommend

Great service and staff the food is lovely as I have been for lunch and breakfast the tables are clean and tidy and during these times of COVID-19 they are following the rules perfectly

Will do it again and spend a bit more time chilling out and watching the world Go by on a sunny day here

We go into Il Gusto regularly. It is a great place for a full English, lunch and a nice bottle of wine or just a mid morning coffee. Prices are resonable. Probably a bit more than other local cafes but it is more upmarket than many of the other cafes in the vicinity. Staff always really friendly. Thoroughly recommend.

My partner and I spent a few days in the area and discovered Il Gusto at the beginning of our stay. The food was that good that we visited more than once while we were there. I had a ham and cheese omelette and it was delicious and the ingredients were all good quality. Couldn't fault it. The staff even made me something off menu on another occasion and again it was so tasty. We will definitely be back again at some point.

Had a lovely lunch, sitting outside with the dog. Recommend the salmon dish which was delightful. Had only just had a coffee before. Will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Good food, brilliant service and the staff are excellent, we really recommend this place for the food, service and value for the money.

Nice up market breakfast place with different options to try. Excellent coffees quirky decor nice to sit outside

I try to visit at lease once a week. It’s clean. It’s friendly. It’s reasonably priced. Winter or summer it’s great

Had coffee here a few times when visiting with friends who recommended it but never eaten here until recently. One day, I tried the pepper, mushroom and onion omelette, which was lovely and cooked well, it’s a good size portion too which is very filling and sets you up for the day. The next day, we ordered Dinos Special consisting of 2 slices of toasted crusty bread topped with fresh cooked ham, 2 fried eggs and melted cheese with a choice of salad or chips for an extra £1.90, this is also filling and tastes great. Not overly priced but the food tastes great so it’s worth paying for, if you want cheap and greasy, there’s plenty of places around Chapel.Chloe, who has served us a few times is very friendly, welcoming whilst remaining professional.

Such a nice place to eat or just have a good coffee. Although there is not an extensive menu there is enough to please most people. The outside is very welcoming with a patio surrounded by tall wooden planters which have been planted out nicely & bi folding doors which are lovely in the better weather.The inside decor is very attractive & comfortable. The food & coffees are very good. Nice place for a visit.

We have visited Gusto a few times now and have always found it ok,the service is fine and although we only have a coffee or a tea its been fine, This time we decided on splashing the boat out and having a cake with our afternoon trip, My Husband have a muffin and I asked for a slice of their cheesecake, The muffin looked and tasted lovely according to my husband, but my slither of cheesecake was a different matter, it certainly wasn't the slice that was shown on display, it wasn't even 10 centimetres across at the thickest part ,it wasn't worth getting the plate mucky for, it looked as if a normal portion had been cut in half.Wasnt impressed and we will not be returning.

Went in today for the second time. This time with the family.

A very nice, clean and modern coffee shop, lovely location looking onto the village green. Food was great and presented lovely, a breath of fresh air to an area bogged down with old style greasy spoon cafes, will defiantly return and recommend highly.

The food is great, always fresh and very tasty. The decor is modern and up to date. Staff very friendly. However was a little disappointed with the time you have to wait. The restaurant wasn’t full at all so couldn’t understand why the wait was so long. Any longer and we would have left and asked for our money back. Amazing cakes.

Came for breakfast due to St Leonard’s Cafe being closed, what a disaster!

Bought a fantastic gateau to have as dessert at a family meal at Let Piazza (run by the same family!). Highly recommended Summer Fruits and Elderflower gateau.

Just what chapel needed. If I want a coffee I want a proper one not a milky coffee. Lovely welcoming staff coffee is 5*

Breakfast menu until 1pm and then brunch menu from 12pm. Breakfast special good value and the ham, eggs and tomato is my favourite from the breakfast menu

Heard good reviews about this Italian coffee shop. Decided to give it a try. The food is absolutely beautiful, very well presented, stunning cakes and the coffee 👌. Give it a try definitely worth a visit for a special occasion

Weve called in fo coffees before but this morning we thought we would pop in for breakfast and we werent dissapointed at all and no overpricing either. It was such a pleasant change to have fresh tomato rather than tinned and what we call proper butchers sausage, and the bacon is very good quality too. ll Gusto is super its very clean and the staff are very friendly and welcoming, nothing us too much trouble. It makes a refreshing change these days to be served with a smile and friendliness. We have and will continue to recommend ll Gusto to friends and family. Well done guys and gals keep up the great work you do. Its a brilliant place for everyone both young and old

As locals we have been to Il Gusto on a number of occasions in the last few months and have been delighted with the quality of the food and service. There are separate breakfast and brunch menus and everything we have tried has been delicious. The portions are good and the prices are reasonable given how tasty the food is. You can also pop in for a coffee or an Italian ice cream, which are to die for! The premises have large folding doors which gives the feeling of sitting outside when you are inside and out of the sun / wind; and there is also a patio whereby those of us with hounds can sit. Love the place!

Cycled into the centre, looking for 2 takeaway coffees to sit on the sea front at the end of the summer.

Quality food, quality staff, quality establishment. In a holiday resort thats not easy to find, but this place is a breath of fresh air. For locals, we finally have somewhere to go to indulge..ponder over the extensive list of different hot drinks, dribble over the counter of exquisite cakes. A real treat in many ways

nice to have a coffee house with a wide choice on offer ice cream palour was lovely and the milk shake i had was lovely

We visited here most days on our weeks holiday, breakfast and lunch was delicious and fantastic coffee

Spotted this cafe whilst driving past in Chapel St Leonard's & thought it looked very inviting. Returned later for a drink. Had 2 cream teas which were very nice. Cafe had a very chilled atmosphere & away from the bustling trunch lane area. Would definately visit again

After visiting Chapel every year it was very refreshing to find a lovely cafe/restaurant to visit this year. Wonderful and friendly staff. Lovely food, high quality. Fab Latte and yummy ice-creams. Will definitely be returning next year. A very welcome addition to chapel.

Super brunch and lots of delicious cakes too outside seating available to take the dog,great coffee and nice surroundings

Visited Il Gusto this morning for snacks and coffees- excellent service- excellent menu- excellent food- excellent coffee-five star all round. This is first class!!!

Called here today for two latte coffees was very disappointed they were Luke warm and tasted of nothing wasted £5 Will not call again

I couldn't in any way fault my visit to il gusto today. I visited this afternoon with my family and was served by two young girls who were both very pleasant and polite. We had coffees and cakes which were delicious and reasonably priced.The place was spotless with a nice relaxed atmosphere and staff were all well presented and friendly. We will definitely be returning and already have recommended to others.

This is the second time we have visited Il Gusto and have nothing but praise for it.The staff are friendly and helpful and the cakes fantastic .Its only recently opened in the village and it is a most welcome addition to the area.You can just have a drink or cakes or a snack meal.We are most impressed and will certainly recommend to family and friends

We visited Ill Gusto today about 3ish. The meal was ok but the music was loud and inappropriate for children. The words in the songs were using the F Word. We went to tell the staff and she said it was the radio. It wasn’t it was a tape or a cd. She didn’t apologise and wasn’t particularly interested. It was our first visit and our last. Would not return

Fabulous food, great prices and excellent staff. Very highly recommended. Just what the village needed. You must try it out.

What a fantastic creation from the guys at La Piazza. Il Gusto is a real gem. A continental style open-fronted cafe bar restaurant.
