Bar Gusto - Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Amazing cute and cozy pasta place! The chefs here really know what they're doing. Ask the servers for recommendations on sharing plates! We loved everything especially the BURRATA and egg yolk raviolo. Fried artichokes also a favourite. And boy oh boy is the service here ever top notch :)

The atmosphere & service were both great however the food was ok. Wouldn’t go again as it’s quite overpriced for what you get.

I will start off by saying the only negatives: small seating area (maybe 5 or 6 tables...30 patrons?) And the bathroom is share with the restaurant next door (they are attached more or less). That said we had an absolutely fantastic time and enjoyed the meal thoroughly. 1 server was all ... they need because she was on the ball. Very knowledgeable when we asked questions, very friendly and quick with the water refills. She checked on us enough when it was needed and left us alone to enjoy our gathering. 2 of us shared the 5 course meal (1 with the drinks pairings) while the other selected antipasto an appetizer and spaghetti and lamb meat ball main.. Absolutly fantastic. Portion size was good. No one went hungry and I eat a lot. Prosciutto antipasto was served with salted bread and was delicious. Egg ravioli cooked without mushrooms per request and was the best thing I ate that night which is saying something as everything was great. It comes as 1 or 2. I wish I ordered two. A regret of my life now. Lamb shank was tender and served on buttermilk polenta. Spaghetti and meat balls came with lots of sauce (noodles was not spaghetti but long flat (like an inch wide) noodles) and melted smoked mozzarella in the middle of the lamb meat balls. Pasta in carbonara was rich and tasty. Artichoke appetizer was large and I am told delicious (I don't eat artichokes). Even the house wine was good (red Alpha Zeta Valpolicella). ...then there was the dessert. We had the tiramisu and the lemon tart. Both were to die for. The lemon tart came with a rosemary creme which I did not think would be good, but it cut the tartness of the lemon perfectly making it a beautiful and delicious dessert. I highly recommend this place. It isn't for someone on a budget mind you. Three of us ate (and ate well) for about $100 per person. Read more

We got Carbonara and Risotto .... absolutely loved both. Atmosphere was great, service also great and drinks were good. Highly recommend!

Went in on Saturday evening. Wasn’t too busy. Ordered drinks and the arrancini. Both ok. Had a hard time choosing something to order for a main course. Asked the server but she didn’t have any recommendations. Settled on the carbonara and the squid ink linguini. Found the carbonara really smokey ... but that’s all. Not a lot of actual flavour. The squid ink pasta had a “Parmesan broth” it honestly tasted like smelly shoes. The service was sort of awkward too, I think the server was being trained which is fine but they probably should have just mentioned that. We had a gift card and were told we couldn’t leave a tip on the gift card. Silly. Overall compared to una, bar gusto really missed the mark. Will be sticking to the other Taste Group restaurants.
