MIO GUSTO Italian Cuisine -Food CA (Near Frisco)

3 /5 abt: I believe we were the first customers since today was their opening day. The place looks very nice. The server was nice, seemed nervous but maybe because it’s his first day and he doesn’t speak English all too well. We ordered the Margarita pizza as a starter. The dough was light and airy and good ratio of cheese and sauce. The server brought out some bread for us as well and offered some grated cheese and olive oil to go with it. As he was grating the cheese, a lot of it spilt over to the table and on our laps. We ordered the Saltimbocca and Misto di Mare as our mains and those took about 40 minutes before we got them. It was a long wait considering we were the only customers seated in the restaurant at the time. The mains weren’t that great, the chicken and pasta were really salty and I didn’t taste any white wine when it was supposed to be a white wine sauce. The shrimp was the best part of the Misto di Mare, however 3 of the mussels in the dish were closed which can be very unsafe to eat. We also found some weird material in one of the open mussels. We pointed it out to them and they brought over some more mussels which were better than the ones in the dish. Overall, I think they can improve on the quality of the food and on the time it takes to bring the food out because I can’t imagine how much longer we would have had to wait if they were busier.

4 /5 Martello Aimee (Cherry): After seeing that this place opened recently, partner and I stopped in for a Friday night dinner date. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, they had a Christmas tree and were playing Christmas music with medium ambient lighting. Other than the employees, a family in the back that seemed to be related to employees, and one other family, we were actually alone in the restaurant. We received complimentary bread that was quite good. Soft, warm, and served with oil and vinegar. Could’ve used some butter, but still delightful anyway. I got the Piccata, and though it wasn’t bad, I didn’t find it amazing either. The chicken had a lovely cook to it, and they actually served the side pasta in the sauce instead of with marinara which was nice, but the sauce distinctly lacked the citrus flavor that makes Piccata what it is. I strongly believe no lemon at all was in the sauce. It was more than palatable, just not what I expected. I also felt that overall, the prices seemed reasonable and competitive for the area. All in all, the place gave me a distinct feeling of, “I’m a little disappointed today, but I’d come back and try something else.” Likely something in a red sauce. Shoutout to our server Amanda for her great service during our meal!

5 /5 Elfrida Toska: Mio Gusto Italian Cuisine has become my go-to restaurant, and it continues to impress me every time I visit. This family-owned spot has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the owners are always respectful, friendly, and genuinely appreciative of their customers. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated : cozy, stylish, and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable, whether you’re dining with family or enjoying a quiet meal. I ordered the salmone alla champagne, and it was exceptional , perfectly cooked and full of rich flavor. My son had a cheese pizza, and it tasted just like the authentic pizzas you’d find in Italy. And I have to mention the tiramisu . It’s the best you can find in the DFW area. It’s housemade, incredibly fresh, and absolutely delicious. The quality of the food is consistently top-notch, and the prices are very reasonable for what you receive. Mio Gusto is truly the best Italian restaurant in the area. Excellent food, wonderful service, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a place I’m always happy to return to. Highly recommended!
