Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visiting Harrogate on a Saturday afternoon, we popped in here on the spur of the moment, probably tempted by the gorgeous aromas coming from the restaurant, and so glad we did! We were alone in there the whole time, which was surprising, but still very pleasant with the calming chill music that was playing in the background. We chose dishes from the £14.95 set menu and a couple of nice cold draugh beers. The food was served pretty quickly and was delicious, both the bruschetta and mushroom starters, and the linguine and spaghetti meatballs mains. The tiramisu desert I indulged in could have done with a bit more amaretto for flavour but was very good. If we lived nearer I’d visit every weekend! Thank you to our pleasant, attentive (but not intrusive) polite waiter. Hope to be back soon.

Delicious food, really delicious! The atmosphere is great, the hosts are alert and personable and serve the food with real Italian flair. While you're there you're already thinking about when you can go again. Nothing but praise! 100% value for money! In short: PERFETTO!

Went for a family birthday meal food very good, lovely surroundings small but cozy! Unfortunately we got there 10 mins before our booked time and was told quite rudely you are 10 mins early and kept us waiting in the doorway till the table was prepared we felt very awkward, within seconds of sitting we were asked 3 times within 5 mins what drinks we would like to order not given time to think. One of my guests ordered lamb chops and another waiter interrupted and said have the steak on specials and my guest felt pressured to change his order which he did as it was becoming embarrassing in a small place the steak on the bill cost £45. The service was very quick and other waiters were very friendly But our experience that evening was disappointing as it was recommended to us.Booked on OpenTable.

Went on a Saturday night in November. Read the large weight of positive reviews and did not expect such a poor family meal with multiple issues by all of our party. Firstly we had to wait 15 minutes despite a booking. The Salmon Tagliatelle was a good portion but way way too salty as was the Linguine Al frutti di mare. The Lasagne was again you guessed it way over seasoned. To put this into context we are all firm believers in well seasoned food but this was collectively ridiculous. Onto my really poor Diavola pizza. Firstly it came on a plate not a board but unsliced. Also absent was a pizza cutter with only a knife and fork to attack the pizza. It was bland with no noticable nduja to taste. It was a really poor effort with the jalapenos straight from the jar thrown cold on top. Maybe it was just a bad night as we are clearly in a minority of the reviews. We could have sent all the meals back and complained but decided to roll with it and finish our meal. We departed to a nearby hostelry where we downed copious amounts of water and agreed to never return. I am perplexed as there is so many positive reviews but we wont return . There are much better Italian restaurants for not much more money in Harrogate

I'd read the previous reviews before I booked this restaurant and they were all excellent but you are always a bit unsure, but it absolutely lived up to it's reputation! Excellent food, the service was fantastic, we were a very noisy party of eight, mixture of family and friends having not seen each other for some time so we were very loud (apologies to other diners!) . The staff were very accommodating of food allergies and slight changes to meals etc and we really couldn't have had a better time. Excellent value for money, approx £40 pr head including starters, mains, drinks and service. We will definitely be back!

Thank you guys for a fantastic night

On Sunday evening we went to the Buon Gusto Italian Restaurant for an evening meal we were greeted very warmly by Alex who showed us to our table. The ambiance was very warm and friendly from all the staff I ordered a pizza garlic bread for starters for my wife and myself. My wife likes cheese on her half ,l like tomato & chilly on my half ! It no trouble . We received our starter which we both agreed was the best we had ever eaten Our main course,s were Rissoto King Prawn in Saffron Rice and Tortellini Pasta with Chicken, mushrooms and a cream sauce . Both dishes were outstanding in size and quality .In fact the lovely couple on the next table said that when we had ordered the starter they knew we would be able to despatch our main course,s !! All l can say is if you ever visit Harrogate and want what is probably the best Italian restaurant Then it has to be the Buon Gusto on Cheltenham Crescent

An update - more a confirmation - of reviews following previous visits. Whenever we're in Harrogate this is where we choose to eat. The service is impeccable - friendly without being familiar - and the food is cooked to perfection. Even the broccoli was wonderful, the best I've eaten. We really go to Harrogate to eat here, rather than eat here because we're in Harrogate.

Christmas party 8 of us on busy Sunday night. They made us feel really comfortable. 3 of our party gluten free. They said not a problem as they said they can do anything pizza or pasta gluten free. That’s was fantastic. Super place super food and superb service. Highly recommend. Specially for gluten free options.

I was hungry and tired when I stumbled upon this restaurant in Harrogate. I ordered an excellent dish of penne with king prawns followed by exquisite lemon sorbet served in a frozen lemon half. The ambience is friendly and relaxed with perfect service. Thank you Buon Gusto Harrogate!

Slightly worse than average lasagna. King prawn linguini was good. Manager wasn’t interested in feedback even though he asked if we had enjoyed our food. Prices on website menu were out of date and lower than restaurant menu. Again manager wasn’t interested in our feedback.

I booked this restaurant as a little date with my Fiancé as we were in the area for a wedding the following day. When we arrived we were greeted by a lovely gentleman, they were originally going to squeeze us in downstairs and one of the other hosts said "Don't do that, it's too close, take them upstairs" - they were genuinely thinking about experience from the very beginning. We were sat down upstairs in a lovely corner window seat and our waitress was lovely. She took our order and our starters came out super quick! The calamari and Arancini were lovely! We then had our mains come and we were so impressed. Great sized portions and the calzone was also packed full! The waitress also recommended a little parmesan in my calzone sauce which made it even better! All in all it was great food and fantastic value for money as well as amazing service, the people here really care about their restaurant and their customers. If we find ourselves in Harrogate again we will definitely be returning!

Had a wonderful meal at Buon Gusto Italian. Opted for the fillet steak which was perfectly cooked and a very generous size!! I’ve been a customer here since it opened and have never been able to fault the food, staff or atmosphere. Not surprised Buon Gusto has just won best Italian in Harrogate 2024. Well done!!

I’m surprised at the mostly 5 star reviews for this restaurant as our experience definitely fell short of 5 star. We had booked a table based on the great ratings on this site. On walking in, it felt like we were entering Granny’s front room. It was quiet with one other couple dining and there was no atmosphere. Our waiter was totally uninterested and seemed bored, when I asked a couple of questions about the menu I just received a short reply as if I had no right to ask and certainly there was no enthusiasm from him about the menu. To be fair the mains were good which is why I have awarded 3 stars but the desserts were poor, the cheesecake was extremely sickly and the ice cream dessert I had was just awful and the advertised hazelnuts seemed to be missing from it. There are far better Italian restaurants in Harrogate.
