The food and service at this restaurant was the absolute best I have ever had. Not only was the food superb, but with the service we received I especially felt SERVED. I recommend everyone I know who is visiting SF to try it. We would come to SF from Florida just to dine at Buon Gusto Restaurant. The experience made me remember what it's like to be treated like a lady.
