    we were highly recommended this restaurant so we went for dinner for my birthday, we ordered the Calamari for an app.. it came almost cold, very bland and very chewy. we always order calamari when we go out and we were very disappointed. we weren't impressed at this point so we ordered a pizza to be safe and it wasn't nice and warm when it arrived too.. it was edible but we were very disappointed. our favourite thing we ate was the cheese cake desert.. called the waitress Sarah for our bill, and she took almost 30 mins to come back to our table when i could see her check up on her other tables 4 times before she came back to us. we gave her a good tip even though we were disappointed in our experience and as she counted the tip and walked away she through her hands in the air and glared back at us while we were putting our coats on to leave. we will NEVER go back there again. very disappointed and will share with everyone our experience.

    We were in Lindsay for a show and our anniversary dinner. I previously read the reviews to determine where we would go for dinner and everyone had commented on how wonderful a place Gusto Grande and the reviews were not wrong. First time here - want a wonderful experience - food was amazing - service was impeccable - quiet and relaxed atmosphere - very happy - we will definitely be back.

    We love the food here and generally really enjoy the restaurant, however, we have a few suggestions. 1) food on the fringe was cold. Heat your plates. 2) use filtered water. It is obviously tap water and highly chlorinated. 3) you asked if it was a special occasion when we booked and we said it was our anniversary. This was not acknowledged. Why ask? 4) Serve the soup with bread or offer it as an option. 5) A small chocolate or biscotti with coffee would go a long way to making you feel like your meal was complete. Thanks for the opportunity to respond. K + D
