Gusto Caledon

Passed this restaurant a few times and thought we should try it one of these days. Since we couldn’t get reservations at our regular destination, figured we’d try this place. Wow! We were blown away by the entire experience. My daughter had a Caesar salad to start, amazing dressing which didn’t have to go in thick. My wife had a rose tortellini which she insisted I try (delish). Everyone else had pasta and pizza which they also enjoyed. The game changer was the gluten free pizza. My son has been trying to find a good GF pizza since discovering Johnny Farina in Ottawa. I’ve never seen my son demolish a pizza that quickly. He saved the last piece for lunch the next day and said it was still just as good. My hamburger was OK but nothing special. The coffee and lemon cake dessert was incredible. Special thanks to our server. Definitely be coming back.

On our anniversary we ended up in Caledon and being gluten-free were pleasantly surprised to come upon Gusto Restaurant and Bar, with gluten-free options, in Caledon, Ontario, Canada. We didn’t read their past reviews until after and were a bit surprised at them. It’s a bit remote, beside a gas station on a 2 lane highway in the country. Yes it’s a basic in some ways (they could use some softscape in terms of decor and update of the booths being a bit tired along the seams from kids) and in others ways not. We started with a Masi Amarone and chose the Pollo e Pesto pizza without tomatoes on gluten-free crust as our starter. The young guy server was pleasant and helpful with a cheery smile. The pizza was delicious and perfect to share as an appetizer. For our shared main we chose the Herb Encrusted Australian Lamb. Wow they were the juiciest, tender and most flavourful lamb chops we’ve had anywhere. I actually swore out loud on the first bite. I’d drive an hour again just for those. We finished with hot cafe macchiatos and heavenly tiramisu. After we peeked into the attached Sports Bar - we understood from our server that on some nights during the week it is fully packed. We look forward to returning when we are in Caledon next to explore some of their other menu options. Chris >
