After an afternoon of shopping, my friend and I were famished and decided to try Buon Gusto for dinner since we had a coupon.
We walked in at 8pm and there it took some time to get seated since it's a pretty small place. We were finally seated and our waitress took our drink order.
I ordered the baked ziti Siciliano and the Italian wedding soup. Our order took a pretty long time coming out and after about 20 minutes of waiting the waitress came out to let us know that she was sorry for the wait since they had apparently closed down the kitchen without letting her know and that they had to start it all up again to cook our orders and that of another table that came in before us. I'm a little surprised and disappointed that they decided to close down the kitchen a good hour before they were scheduled to close. Seems like a bad business practice.
If we had known that the kitchen was closed, we would have found another place to eat, but after waiting so long we figured we might as well wait it out.
The soup was lukewarm, not surprising after hearing about the kitchen snafu. Our entrees finally came out and they were decent. My pasta was good and I enjoyed the sauce quite a bit. The eggplant was overcooked and had an unappealing texture.
Our server was sweet and she kept an upbeat attitude despite all the shenanigans that seemed to be going on in he kitchen. The kitchen staff seemed to be playing around and more focused on wanting to leave for the evening, which made us uncomfortable and we ended up rushing through our meal to leave.
I see this being a decent spot for take out, but try not to come by too close to closing time.
