Buon Gusto - Village of Irvington

An excellent local restaurant. Good attention to detail, and excellent specials especially recommend the veal Milanese special. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. A small and fairly basic space, but they make good use of it.

Buon Gusto is a beloved restaurant for my family. We go there for birthday celebrations, weekend outings with friends, and sometimes we even order takeout on weeknights when we're not in the mood to cook. What continues to draw us back is the reliable quality and deliciousness of the food. Our absolute favorite dish is the Chicken Parmigiana; it's a perfectly cooked chicken cutlet topped with just the right amount of tomato sauce and cheese. We enjoy it immensely! The staff is always welcoming, and we don’t mind waiting for a table because, believe me, the food is worth it.

I visited this charming little Italian restaurant with some colleagues from my previous job for a holiday gathering, and they had prepared a lovely table for 10 to 15 of us. The waiter was incredibly attentive and accommodating. The food was outstanding, and we had no complaints whatsoever (even from some of us who tend to be quite picky about our meals). The restaurant is conveniently located just off the main road and close to the train station, making it a great spot to stop for an excellent meal after work. It’s perfect for adding a touch of class to a small get-together with friends or family.

I really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. The staff and owner are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. It's a charming, cozy spot. We started with an appetizer of fresh shrimp and clams cooked in wine, clam juice, and garlic, which paired perfectly with the warm, crusty Tarranova bread. The veal chop, stuffed with prosciutto and fresh mozzarella and served in a light brown sauce, was incredibly tender. The XL shrimp with broccoli rabe and perfectly cooked penne was also excellent. The best part is that the prices are very reasonable, and you can bring your own wine. Make sure to tell your friends about Buon Gusto—it's truly a hidden gem!
