In California, wine is most associated with the northern regions of the state, where cooler climates and volcanic soils help growers cultivate internationally renowned varietals. One of California’s first commercial vineyards, however, arose on the banks of the Los Angeles River. Just a mile outside of LA’s present-day downtown, priests with the San Gabriel Mission planted vine cuttings harvested from Mexico as early as 1771. Though the industry later migrated to Napa, these early vintners introduced California to some of the European growing techniques that are still used across the state today.

This is a wonderful restaurant & a blessing to find in an area of town that is otherwise inundated with fast food restaurants. They serve excellent food - we have eaten there several times and have never had anything we wouldn't reorder. Their house wines are very good as well. This is a fine dining restaurant. I would give it a 5 stars!!

The four course meal coupon was great but a lot of food! The bottle of wine was nice and the proprietors was very warm and welcoming, as was the wait staff. Delicious pasta, great bruschetta and very tasty salad.

Very pleasant and friendly wait staff, and the food, while not amazing, was very good. We had a four course meal, and liked that the courses were on the smaller side. We got small tastes of more things!

Benito Prezia founded Buon Gusto Ristorante because he wanted a place where families of any size could gather and enjoy great Italian food. The dining room can seat parties of up to 100 and the menu of Italian classics continues to keep up with the times. But it's what happens behind the scenes that really counts. Chefs select their herbs and vegetables from the restaurant's own garden, filling dishes with fresh-picked flavors. And to keep diners of every age happy, the menu offers a variety a dishes such as spaghetti and meatballs, brandy-soaked beef tenderloin, seafood paella, and vegetarian manicotti. The chefs even make a few gluten-free pastas, helping everyone in a family enjoy a meal at the same table, even when someone is going through a parachute-pants phase.
