If you're not picky about ingredients or health, you’ll probably enjoy this place. The service was excellent and attentive, and the atmosphere is decent for casual dining.
Food notes:
Pizza sizes range from 8 to 16 inches.
Gluten-free crust is available but only in the 8-inch size, which was a letdown.
All pizzas and pastas are made with a blend of oils—including canola and olive oil. No seed-oil-free or organic options available.
If you’re health-conscious or avoid industrial seed oils, your best bet is a salad—but even then, nothing here is organic.
Final thoughts: Great service and a convenient spot for a casual bite, but not ideal if you’re mindful about ingredients or dietary quality.
This is about the 110th time I’ve been to gurus in Orem and every time the food has been excellent and the service has been fantastic. I’ve ordered just about everything on their menu and have never had a bad meal. This is a great place to go if you have to eat gluten-free. Highly recommended!
Don't trust the Gluten Free menu! Waited 25 minutes for our GF pizza's and they arrived definitely not gluten free, regular flour crust. It wasn't even busy. When listening to them discuss it too many of them were confused with the gluten free option. Atleast I got my money back, but we are still hungry. We are very disappointed because we had even called ahead and asked about gluten free options
We should have left when they brought out the bread. The bread honestly tasted like gluten free bread. The balsamic was cheap and the oil was CLEAR. I don't know if it was soybean oil or maybe avocado oil, but it was NOT olive oil. My wife's bowl of minestrone was almost bereft of any ingredients. Hardly any pasta, mostly broth. No beans. Weird.
My "lasagna?" noodles cheese, hamburger and canned sauce. NO seasoning. NO garlic, onion, oregano, basil, parsley, etc. Not even salt or pepper. And they covered the plate in sauce!! I was dumfounded after the first bite, so I passed it to my wife. So bland I couldn't finish. When the waiter came to check on the food, I told him it was terrible and, pointing to my plate, I said "that's not lasagna."
My wife's Caesar salad had decently seasoned chicken and the veg was fresh. So there was that. And while I actually like tomatoes in my salad, large slices of beefsteak tomatoes doesn't scream Italian. The italian dressing was canned. One step up from cafeteria salad.
They didn't charge me for the lasagna. So there is that. But you know the bad Mexican restaurants that rely on cheese for flavor? This reminded me of that only worse.
I wasn't expecting Cucina Toscana. Now that is a restaurant! I expected more of a family style Americanized Italian restaurant. But good. It wasn't. Nothing tasted unhealthy. It's just not a restaurant. There is nothing Dolce about this place. Steer clear. I almost never send food back or write reviews. But these people shouldn't be running a restaurant. How it got 4.3 or how it got awards I just don't know.
