Found this during the pandemic while trying to support some local places. I've … More tried both the pasta and sandwiches with fries which were both great and highly recommend them.
Staff was also always nice and quick to get your order ready. Everyone was wearing their mask correctly and they seemed to be following all COVID regulations to keep customers safe. -

The owner and workers here were so kind and helpful to me. I am an Uber Eats … More driver that ran into an unexpected car issue after picking up an order here. It left me stranded for about a half hour, and the restaurant did everything in their power to help me out. They really made a wonderful impression on me, and I would love to come back to eat here anytime. -

When it comes down to it, over my 5 years in Lakeview, my GrubHub account doesn't … More lie. This is by far my most ordered from restaurant bc it is fast and delicious. Lasagna de la casa, rigatoni alla grassa, portabello rapini, insalta al gusto (don't be fooled by the salad title this is so delicious) are the staples. -

Was looking for a great Italian restaurant in Lakeview and happened to try pasta … More Al gusto. Wanted to celebrate a special occasion at home during the stay at home pandemic phase and the food from this restaurant just made it so special. The gnocchi in Al gusto sauce, the shell pasta in Alfredo sauce, spinach salad all was so delicious. Can't wait to eat at the restaurant when things open up again. -

I love it here! They have the best fettuccini Alfredo! I love ordering it with … More chicken! The food is always pleasing and is comforting. The prices were just like the ones at Olive Garden but the food was much better. Much appetizing! I will gladly come back! And recommend you do so! I’m picky with food so me actually enjoying it was surprising to me, but I love me some pasta! There’s also a tiny like museum I enjoy watching while going here, when you go to the bathroom you can see old pictures they used to put on the wall and a door they used to use and some old lettering sign. That says (states) “Pasta Al Gusto”. I might admit I don’t like the new photos but I love everything else otherwise 🙂 -

Absolutely love the charm of Pasta al Gusto. Our waitress was amazing and the … More pasta options were delicious as usual. Loved the gnocchi with vodka cream sauce and highly recommend the Pomodoro e Caprino for an appetizer. You can't go wrong with goat cheese, a rich tomato sauce and French bread! The lunch special and dinner entrees are affordable and the portions are perfect. -

I've worked down the street from this place for awhile, but I ordered for … More the first time yesterday. I had the vegetarian salad (although I am not a vegetarian).

I ordered thru grubhub for delivery. I ordered the"Spaghetti Pesto e Pollo". … More So the order took very long to arrive, the food was a bit cold and the pasta was stuck together.....but with that being said, the pasta had a very good taste,it didnt have aton of oil like other places,it came with enough chicken pieces and vegetables and enough sauce that it was very delicious.. maybe next time I'll just dine in and really enjoy the meal directly from the stove. -
Daniella Antilla-Porter ★★★★★ 4 years ago
The food here is amazing. I've now had about 4 or 5 different dishes and … More I honestly am not sure how to pick a favorite. If I had to choose I'd say that the Al Gusto sauce is my favorite but man, they are all so delicious. And the price is so low for how much you get and the quality of it all. -

Gabriela Garay ★★★★★ 2 years ago
This was our first time here; we were looking for an affordable BYOB pasta spot. … More This place was amazing! We ordered a lentil soup special, garlic cheesy bread, raviolo de carne and spagetti with meat balls. Everything was delicious and well seasoned with lots of flavor. The meats were cooked well and not too dry. And to top it all off, the service was attentive and super friendly. Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu offerings and shared really great suggestions. 10/10 would recommend to a friend and will return soon! -

Jonathan Douglas ★★★★☆ 4 years ago
Surprisingly good, homemade Italian eats, tucked away in a small space on Southport. … More There are a lot of options to try, although the staff tend to lean towards many of the same dishes whenever we ask for recommendations. This is not a bad thing, they make generous portions of solid comfort dishes at very reasonable prices. The restaurant itself is a bit sparse, so we tend to eat on the patio, or get take-out. -

I liked these guys for a long time. We would always order them for lunch at … More work. They decided to change their lunch special menu and remove several of our favorites but refused to change their menu on their website. They also frequently would mess up basic parts of delivery orders (like not including salad dressing with a salad or forks with pasta). I put up with it for a long time but today was just too much. I'm done with this place. -

We were going out for a group dinner and were planning on trying The Butcher's … More Tap, but it was so loud in there I could barely hear myself think. We walked up and down the Southport corridor but everything was packed to the gills on a Wednesday evening at 6:30. So then we passed Pasta al Gusto, which was almost completely empty and had suspiciously reasonable prices. I was skeptical but we were at the end of our ropes looking for a place to just sit down and eat.It's a small space inside and there's nothing special in the decor, but it's clean and there's a nice, cozy theme. We ordered a caesar salad and cheese bread for appetizers, which were both good.For the main meal, I got the linguine pesto. I'm a complete layman when it comes to stuff like this so I didn't really know what to expect, but it was totally delicious. The noodles were cooked to just the right texture (apparently in white wine?) and the pesto sauce had the consistency of a really good alfredo, but was...well, pesto. It was delicious, and I sampled some gnocchi, lasagna, and some other stuff I can't name that was all really, shockingly good.We didn't get dessert, but our waitress (who was great also, by the way--we kept asking obnoxious questions about the dishes that she was happy and able to answer) claimed they were all made from scratch and made a compelling case for the tiramisu that I'm excited to go back and try.I tend to only write these reviews for restaurants that I really enjoyed but that I'm worried don't get enough attention. Pasta al Gusto definitely fits that bill. It's very inconspicuous among the boom and dazzle of the other restaurants along Southport, but it's also very worth the visit. -

We ordered Pasta Al Gusto for a graduation party. The Rotini al Gusto, Penne … More Bolgnese and the Spaghetti Pomodoro were all amazing! We also ordered several pans of Panini sandwiches to pull out later in the evening and they were delicious! Our guests were raving about the food. Thanks! -
