Customer Reviews
Enjoyable time at Gufo! I was impressed by the elegant decoration and warm vibes. Service was also very fast. As for the food, I was most impressed with the pizza. Very flavorful, nicely crusted and great portion. The crispy onions on the charred potatoes were also a great touch, making it a lot more flavorful. The pasta, while tasty, was too small in portion, so it became unmemorable because I barely got to taste it. I would definitely try more pizzas here, and maybe one or two pasta dishes that piqued my interest.
We ordered the Swiss Chard pizza and the Radiatore pasta. I absolutely loved the pizza with its crispy crust, but wasn't a big fan of the pasta. It could've used more flavor. We didn't have reservations but the hostess was able to accommodate. Service and atmosphere was great!
The food was amazing, friendly staff and nice atmosphere for a night out. Their focaccia bread with the platter of different toppings/spreads were so good. The snap pea caesar was delicious (great starter), the Rigatoni and Squid Ink Bucatini was pretty good. Their pizzas were amazing 🍕 (especially the one with ricotta on top).
I love their food, especially their pasta. We started with a squid (a bit too salty for us but flavorful) and Brussel sprouts. They were good with the bread. Tiger prawns were super delicious. We saw a grilled black bass on reviews but they no longer serve it. Rigatoni was super good - the pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was rich without being too salty so you can still taste the distinct wheat aroma. Their clam trottole was too sour for us. The restaurant was packed on a Friday night, so service and food were a bit slow. Make sure you make reservation. IT WAS SUPER SUPER LOUD. Hard to talk.
Highly recommend for a great meal! Gufo hits the nail on the head in every aspect. 1. Drinks - fantastic. I had the negroni and it was so beautifully made and crisp. The Saved By the Bell had this really nice herby taste with the great spiciness coming from the chile vodka. 2. Food - delicious. The asparagus was so well made, tender with a fantastic crisp. The cacio e pepe arancini balls were fried so nicely with a melty interior finish. The Dandelion Greens pizza was light, but creamy. The lemony sauce was so nice. The meatballs were home-y and filing, made you feel like you were eating a nice comfort meal. Finally the unpictured cavatelli was certainly the star of the show. Cooked to the perfect aldente setting with a nice crispy breadcrumb on top. The flavor was just delicious and un
