Patio Dining · 7.0
Italian · Downtown Guelph · $$

The patio adds another useful version of Buon Gusto when weather cooperates: downtown Italian food in the St. George's Square setting, with lunch, pizza, pasta, cocktails, and dessert close at hand. It is a meaningful part of the restaurant's appeal rather than just overflow seating.

The Shakespeare Arms

8.4
Patio Dining · 6.5
