Buon Gusto means ‘good taste’ in Italian. We strive to bring you the ‘good taste’ of Italy in all aspects of our restaurant. Located in the historic Victoria Hotel building in St. George’s Square in Downtown Guelph, Buon Gusto is warm and casual with exposed stone walls and a contemporary interior design. Our wood-burning oven, made in Reggello, Tuscany is ‘il cuore’ (the heart) of Buon Gusto. We import molino caputo tipo 00 flour and San Marzano tomatoes from Italy, to make our pizzas in the traditional Neapolitan thin-crust style, hearth-baking them at 900 degrees Fahrenheit for just 90 seconds. Our menu also features pastas made from family recipes and small-plates of antipasti, perfect for sharing with family and friends.

The word ‘Miijidaa’ is from the Ojibway language that loosely translates to “let’s eat”. It's a celebration of our roots, foods, wine + brews; a chance to showcase cuisines that influenced our culinary landscape and to show off our northern bounty.There are many influences in what has come to define "Canadian" cuisine starting with the First Nations, followed by the influences of the French, English, Vikings, Portuguese and more. Our menu is a modern take on our northern gastronomic history with each cuisine and tradition inspiring the tapestry of our culinary landscape that we hope to celebrate on our menu.

We weren't sure what to expect, but chose this restaurant on the basis of it's menu, which we viewed online. We waited about 5 minutes for our table, but happily spent it at the great bookstore in the building. Our server Liam was courteous, fun and very attentive. The place was quite full so we were glad we had reserved in advance. The vibe was trendy and comfortable, and the food ( trout, beef cheek, pizza, beer salad,peanut butter pie) was 👌👌. We absolutely will come again.

Haven’t been here for a while and what a pleasant surprise. Food is usually decent but we’re intrigued by their menu as they are leaning in on French food. We had a great meal. The duck cassoulet was amazing. Great pizzas as usual. Ambiance is still a nice casual dining experience but the food has definitely been kicked up a notch since our last visit. We will be back for sure!
