Il Gusto d’Italia in Preston

I went in for the Takeout, the staff messed up the whole order being vegetarian they weren’t sensitive about it. If you’re a vegetarian you should never go to this restaurant for sure definitely.

Although the signs on the windows state 1 price, the business picks and chooses when you can have such deal. The rudeness of the male staff makes me never want to return

Amazing staff and amazing food! What's not to love, plus they are willing to accommodate those with dietary requirements (i.e. vegetarian).

If I could give this 0 I really would. Awful rude when you complain about your food. Chicken should cut straight not like a rubber steak! Cheap awful food

Lovely place, lovely stuff great food and atmosphere

a delicious food, I can't say more about Pizza, just as good a taste that reminds you of Italy, I recommend with all my 🫶👌🙂

Food was nice but the the rigatoni pollo was shy of chicken, the linguine with king prawns had 6 king prawns, which was just enough. Portion size was adequate. Service was not as good as it should be. Ordered diet coke, no ice, diet coke with ice came out. Asked to see desert menu, got the menu du.ped on the table no one ever came back to take an order. Black amerucano coffee was nothing special. Overall the atmosphere was interesting the background music went from loud to quiet to overbearing.

As ladies that lunch weekly we were delighted to find an actual restaurant open at lunchtime rather than having to eat at pubs that serve food. What a pleasurable experience eating there was. The menu was both varied and extensive. Any pasta or pizza at £6 95 at lunchtime was amazing value. The staff were so friendly and the food and service superb. The decor was bright, light and full of Italian touches even including the background music. The only downside to this terrific venue is a lack of nearby parking. We will be back to work our way through the menu. A jewel of a restaurant!

We recently made our second visit, having had such a great experience first time around but the friends with whom we went have been on several more occasions. The staff are friendly and attentive and the food is very reasonably priced with sizeable portions. A definite go-to among our friends when we're in town

One of the best restaurants in Preston for Italian cuisine.

Had an impromptu lunch for 10 teenagers - was the only restaurant in the area after Laser Tag - everywhere else is takeaway only so we had no choice but to book here I’m so glad we did, the food was lovely and the staff were brilliant - the party was so much fun. Thank you so much for treating them like you did

We ordered take away from here with 2 x gluten free pizzas and 2 x garlic breads plus a pasta. We are not fussy eaters and it was revolting. The dough was dry and powdery and so hard and crispy you could barely bite into it. Even the toppings were poor. The pasta was watery and tasteless. They also did not even remotely try and keep the pizzas gluten free. They didn’t put them on trays at all! Just put them in with the wheat pizzas. Yes I’m well aware it all goes in the same oven but at least try to not cross contaminate it underneath! That’s where you would get the most cross contamination!! Where it directly touches the wheat pizzas. What also irritated me is the girl on the phone told me it would be on a tray. I wouldn’t have bothered had I known that. Just to top it off I ordered 1 x tomato and 1 cheese garlic bread and I got 2 cheese ones. Not that they were edible . I think this place just needs to not advertise gluten free food as it’s inedible. The staff also need education on allergens. They have all the signage but no idea at all. I can think of better ways to waste £35!

Just been here with my wife the food was amazing the restaurant was nice and clean the staff was friendly and helpful we will 100% be going back again.

sent the wrong food and when I called to correct this, they sent out the wrong food for the second time, meaning I had to call again to finally get my food that I ordered

Food was without any taste like im eating paper towel. 25pound putvto trash

Our favourite pizza place in Preston. Excellent every time.

Used to be our favourite pizza place but last few times hasn’t been nice at all hard burnt hardly any toppings doesn’t taste nice at all like been sat there all day and chips are not edible disappointing

food delivered was not what was ordered

Food normally really good here but last order took a lot longer than normal to come and was delivered cold, complained to just eat and they have issued me £12 just eat credit off a £35 order, not really good enough, won’t be reordering for take away however will return to the restaurant as the food is good, just not for delivery.

I order from Gusto Italia fairly regularly - Their pizzas, garlic breads are fantastic… (I can’t comment on the rest of their food range, as I haven’t tried it all) Their wines and beer are also great, for the price point they are at - And the delivery service is fantastic, especially based on other service providers on Just Eat - Gusto Italia always stick to their time slot for delivery and more than often it arrives early…. All in all, fantastic homemade food, great drinks and spot on delivery

Beautiful food, delivered quickly and hot. We look forward to ordering again soon.

This was my first time ordering from here and it won't be the last, my food was lovely. My Pasta Arrabiata was perfect, as were the mushrooms. Delicious food and reasonably priced, really enjoyed my dinner.

Loved it. Really a space to find the most tasty food in town

Delivery was over an hour from ordering, was notified of it leaving the restaurant and didn’t arrive for a further 45 mins, delivery status was updated by the restaurant to “delivered” when in fact it was not and waited further. No apology, cold food

Arrived piping hot and not long too wait either

Excellent food great delivery 👍

Always amazing. Fresh tasty pizzas! Never go anywhere else!!

This place is a little gem, On the outskirts of Preston If you have been You will go back!

Good quality pizzas and prompt delivery

food arrived hot on time and was delicious 😋

Lovely meal. The seafood casserole was delicious. Husband had a pizza & garlic bread & enjoyed it. Second meal we’ve had delivered & wasn’t disappointed.

We were late for our booking and the place was packed- but the staff were amzing and immdediately made us feel welcome. Food was alao amazing, served promptly and was piping hot. Generous portions- all in all a wonderful experience. We will return. Thanks All.

This is the best Italian restaurant I've been to by far. I've been to several Italian restaurants and the food here was authentic and the best I've had in a long time. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend a visit here.

Class food, the garlic bread with tomato was class and also thankyou too who let the chef know to leave the chilli's and mushrooms out the arrabbiata pasta, was brilliant, thankyou, 😀

Both our pizza’s were delivered on time, still very warm and tasted great as always.

I order every week ( takeaway) and every week the dish ( spaghetti pescatora) gets worse. My last one was Thursday. Clam shells - empty. Mussel shells - half empty NO prawns at all NO King Prawns when usually there are at least three decent sized half shelled. Burnt & cold Tomatoe garlic bread. Really poor quality seafood. I ordered one the week before which was below average, gave it one more shot on Thursday. No Thanks. Im done. Delivery always prompt & staff nice but the standard of food really has dropped Cheesecake ordered two weeks ago -all I can say is never again. Won't be coming back again for a meal or takeaway.

We popped in here thinking it was a quick pizza on our way out for a night out. We were so pleasantly surprised- it was a fantastic experience! Once inside it became apparent this is a first class experience with a fantastic menu, service and food. We will definitely be back!

We had a lovely evening celebrating a friend's 60th birthday. We had lovely food, the staff were very friendly and we were at the restaurant for quite a while, so not rushed out like you are at some restaurants where they are waiting for your table. They even went beyond the call of duty in helping us celebrate our friend's birthday when they brought the cake out that I had taken as a surprise, by how this was done (music, singing, clapping and cheering at the table). We have not been there for a while but hope to be back soon.

The food was delicious apart from the chips they was not good but I would order again.

Good food, lots of choice. Excellent value - especially the lunch time menu, any pizza or pasta for £6.95. Friendly service.

tasteless rubbish not cooked had to put in airfryer. even our dachaund wouldn't eat it never again

Pizzas were good as were the spicy chicken wings.

Picante Pizza was amazing, best pizza ive had in a long time, ingredients were fresh and oven baked. Will definitely be going back again and the price was reasonable.. excellent 10/10

Partner had spaghetti and meatballs and he said it was nice but could have had a few more meatballs as there was only 4 and then mentioned one of them was a bit hard. All the other food was nice :) and delivery driver respected being quiet coming to the house due to baby sleep so thank you :)

Delicious pizzas (as always) and great side salad. Spicy chicken wings go down well too!

Spent nearly £100 on my order, for it to be delivered squashed with all the pizza toppings all over the box. Called the restaurant to inform them, they said they’d come and collect it, take it back to the restaurant to check, and re-send new food out. This whole process took far too long. Delivery driver turned up 2hrs later. The owner was so rude on the phone. The delivery driver however was really lovely and understood our frustration. Lovely restaurant but wouldn’t order to my home again.

Quick delivery, food hot and delicious x

Daughters 21st meal made special by the friendly staff and delicious food

Italian with a little English twist, with Italian chefs and waiters. Quality of ingredients is supreme, had a nice steak with Mediterranean veg, and as starter great chicken livers. Wine is from the north east of Italy. Definitely recommended by an Italian, I will be back soon!

Went with a friend over the weekend , I have been before last year and the food was good, this time though it was pretty awful.It had really gone downhill. I ordered spaghetti bolognaise and it was watery with hardly any meat, not what i expected. Service was just ok at best, also, full of loud uncouth families who let their brats run all over the place.. I wont go again.

Excellent gluten free availability

The only restaurant I order pasta dishes or pizzas from in Preston as (almost) always delivers freshly cooked meals. Can’t fault them.

Our pizzas were very good, as (almost) always are!

No tartar or garlic sauce with the calamari. Pizza wasn’t great and the tiramisu was off! Mascarpone tasted sour like it was stale

Excellent food was fresh and hot, first time order will definitely order again soon.

I always order a pizza and dessert from here and they're consistently excellent. Easily as good as you could get in a restaurant and miles better and more authentic than the offerings from the big three international pizzeria chains.

Gusto Italia, always great authentic Italian food at reasonable prices… Delivery service from Just Eat, always on time and the food is still hot to eat…. Ordered many times before and highly recommended…

Excellent food as always. Pizza tomato sauce was very good and side salad one of the best. Spicy chicken wings went down a treat too.

A delicious spaghetti carbonara; kind, helpful professional service.

Friendly local Italian. Great crispy duck salad starter. Great negating starter too!

Whilst I don't expect " fine dining", this "restaurant" is the worst place I have ever eaten in. From the outset the service was unbelievably slow even though the place was quiet. I ordered mushrooms as a starter, they arrived and looked very dry and overcooked and had clearly been keeping warm under a grill or in the oven. Waited almost an hour for the main course to arrive - salmon in a cream/prawn sauce. The salmon, again, was overcooked and dry. The rice was a pile of stodge and inedible. On expressing my dissatisfaction with the waiter, I was met with total disinterest and in fact he was rude and condescending. He advised me that is what real Italian rice should be.....I don't think so. I was going to ask for a doggy bag but even my two labradors would have turned their noses up. There are several excellent Italian restaurants around Preston, this is certainly not one of them. Good food, customer service, a friendly manner and a pleasant persona is something you will not find here, Avoid !

Read a few reviews before going. Didn't read thoroughly. Awful service, and dire food. Menu said 2 courses for 17.95, but questioned the waiter and he provided different menu. First red flag. Ordered king prawns, said served with garlic, lemon and chili Jam - when the dish arrived, the prawns were swimming in some kind of soup, tasted like sugar had been added, the prawns were overcooked and mushy, couldn't eat. Asked about the steak pizzaola and ordered, after waiter assured, was steak with a tomato sauce. An hour later, a dish arrived that was lukewarm and looked nothing like any steak pizzaola it had little taste was lukewarm the meat was in strips and it was tough as old boots. About 10 roast potatoes sat aside the food, they looked like they had been dipped in a fryer. Would not go near again.

Absolutely amazing lasagna £7 too. Excellent. And pizza was great. All was piping hot. Can’t recommend this place enough 5 stars.

A tad too much cheese on my Margarita pizza plus also lacked oregano/basil? Not as good as the one I ordered last week but I guess they can’t get it right every time! Profiterole was yummy!

Crispy Duck salad starter was a joke for £6.50 hardly any crispy duck and what there was were the tiniest piece might as well have just ordered salad

A delightful, welcoming Italian family-run restaurant where I always receive an attentive and professional service. The prices are very good value and most importantly the food is consistently of a high standard. A wide variety of Italian meals are on offer, the highlight for me being the fish casserole, which is a wonderful, nourishing and delicious dining experience. They also stock a first rate red wine “Amicale” which scores 4.1 on the Vivino wine app and is something I always look forward to. All in all, a cracking restaurant. Well done guys.

Excellent food very reasonably priced. I've become a regular.

Nothing was to much trouble. Excellent in every aspect. I particularly wanted a risotto, they delivered, even when they had to change some of the ingredients. I fact I I looked and every menu on line ,no risotto. I also got take-out

Didn't require any service. Food was fantastico

The young girl was very polite who took my phone order. My pizza was cold and some of my order was wrong. I spoke to the manager (he's a very nice man). The manager sent me a complimentary and it was really good. I would recommend.

The service and communication towards my family is perfecto. The pizza and the pork was exquisite thank you so much.

Ordered two pasta dishes . One prawn and one beef. The beef was tough and had a tasteless oily sauce . The prawns were really overcooked and didn't taste nor smell very fresh . Not impressed and won't be ordering again.

One of the best Italian restaurants in Preston, amazing food, great service and awesome atmosphere. We went for an early valentine's night and we had an amazing time. The staff was really amazing and very friendly. The food is amazing and it's good value for money. I totally recommend the sharing starter platter and the tiramisu, which is amazingly tasty! The pizza is very tasty as well. Always get the roasted potatoes, they are amazing.

Excellent food as always and good friendly delivery driver, no problems at all as always with this Italian

We had a brilliant night. The waiters had us all laughing! Food was tasty and well presented. 😋

stuffed mushrooms tastes bland. not like other times ordered..pizza ok nothing above others tho..might be odd one of ..fast delivery friendly lady.

Excellent service delivery lady very polite and professional

Food was really good and we had a lunchtime special of pasta or pizza for £6.95. Service was great during the meal but rude and ignorant before. I would have given it 5 stars but on entering the restaurant at 11:55 for a table booked for 12:00 I was ignored by two male members of staff who walked past me. The guy in the kitchen tried to get their attention but failed so I had to stand in the empty restaurant like a spare part. Eventually after one of the male members of staff stopped faffing about with cutlery he came over and said they weren't open yet. Then don't open the door until you are!!. Not a very good welcome to a paying customer. Having said that the meal was excellent and the place was packed with happy customers half an hour later. I think I would return because the food was excellent but the welcome was disappointing.

The tomato sauce on the pizzas we order today was probably the best we have ever had from Il Gusto…loved it!

disappointing, bbq ribs no sauce and very dry. chips under cooked 👎

…what’s this pizza is, over burned and thin…

Very pleased with the delivery time, but not impressed by the food sadly. The garlic bread mexicana was quite dry. I ordered olives as extra on my pizza, paid extra, no olives on my pizza.

By far the best pizza in Preston. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy authentic Italian pizza / pasta 🍕

30 minutes late is pretty terrible, first time having bad service so its a shame

Very nice staff, brilliant with the kids too. Make your own pizza went down well with the kids. Didn't feel rushed, prices not bad, nice atmosphere. Will definitely call again.

Really good experience, fantastic service,staff are so nice and the waiter is absolutely amazing with children...what a star👍the kids even made their own pizza....lovely waitress who was very attentive to our party and the main man was on hand throughout ensuring excellent service. Would definitely eat here again, food was excellent.

Amazing food. The salmon was delicious, and the Tiramisu was awesome. Tomato garlic bread absolutley covered in topping, class.

Awesome pizza and the 5 cheese gnocchi is superb !!

Apart from being cramed in a tittle corner the food was excellent

Great pasta great Italian food, so much better than Indian food or takeaways. we should have more traditional Mediterranean European food in Preston . warm tasty Italian food 👏🏼

This is one great Restaurant 5 to dine in. The menu is a must. The waiting staff are great, polite and know what they are doing. The chef/ Owner knows how to cook his meals.

Very good staff are splendid food amazing I loved it really reccomend ( and if you have children they do ice cream and birthday party’s)

Pizzas were tasty but given 4* rather than 5* as thought a tad too much cheese plus, I would love some added oregano, but that’s me! This restaurant makes the best pizzas anywhere in Preston.

Fabulous pizza and pasta, as always, best take away in Preston!!

Pasta is waterlogged could have ate it with a spoon

Only restaurant I go to in the area, everyone very friendly very relaxed atmosphere, perfect food , faultless

Garlic bread was lovely, the pasta sauce and sausage were not nice.

Always great food from Il Gusto. Arrived on time hot and tasty
