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.

    Our experience was wonderful. We appreciated the flexibility of the staff in accommodating a last minute accommodation of an extra person to our party. Other than a somewhat surly hostess who greeted and seated us the whole evening was fabulous. Shout out to our server Brie who was pleasant and personable. She was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed great interaction and she assisted us in staying within our time frame to ensure we made the event we were attending right after. Food was scrumptious! Beverages were delicious. Service was spot on. Would definitely recommend to others. Thanks for helping us make our family event enjoyable.

    Food quality was outstanding and service was perfect. We had an event to go to and not too much time to linger and the staff made it possible for us to enjoy our delicious meal and get to our venue with plenty of time to spare. Nothing was diminished because of the rush!

    Service and food/drink start to finish was amazing! There was a mix up in my order and it was quickly resolved, no troubles! I really appreciate their friendliness, chatter, efficient work. Tables can be small for ordering big things, can get crowded! But love the look and feel of the space. It’s busy and feels close to others, but we were able to still really enjoy our time, food and conversations.

    Our annual Christmas party went very well. Food was hot, steaks were delicious, and the desserts were very tasty. The Keg was buzzing with energy while we were there. Just a great atmosphere to hold our Christmas party.
