Although I have been a more frequent patron at their location in the 50s, I am a fan of this Cafe Buon Gusto and their DELIVERY! My food has always been fresh and hot with all the same care & garnish as when I have eaten in the restaurant. Why bother going out when you can have this food at home (if you are on the UES)? If you are not a neighborhood, hit the restaurant when you are up in the 70s for a great Italian meal.

This tiny little restaurant on 77th Street is a dream. It's cozy, but somehow if it were any other way, it just wouldn't be right. From the low lighting, to the little patio out front, this is a sweet little spot to enjoy your past with a glass of wine. The menu features many pasta and meat dishes, and you could also mix your own past combinations. By far, my favorite is the veal tortellini in a porcini sauce, which is decadent and deliciousness in every bite. They also make a nice chicken francaise, with just the right amount of tenderness. There are other locations throughout the city, but this location and ambiance wins hands down.

I found this place when I first moved to the UES because of the lunch special pre-fix menu they have. $7.95 for an appetizer, big bowl of pasta or sandwich, and a drink. Then, I went recently for dinner. It was absolutely delicious, reasonable, the ambiance was lovely, and the waitress was courteous and responsive. I couldn't have asked for more.
