The food has declined so much. Went in on a Saturday night and it was nearly empty, poor atmosphere. Weird that they combined menus with Cholon, not interested in Asian/Italian at the same time.

Hello Ashley, Thank you for the candid feedback on your experience. We understand you are dishearten by the merged menus, which was heavily requested by returning customers of both locations. While we shared a kitchen, a staff, and many products, we had an invisible wall dividing our offerings, which left may customers dissatisfied. And while we've had positive feedback, we apologize that this merger did not meet your expectations or satisfaction. However, we are continuing to move forward with bigger operational changes that we are excited to share in the future, as the current offering is a limited time menu transitioning us into bigger and better things. We hope you will give us another chance when this happens. Thank you, Gusto Italia & ChoLon-Sloan's Lake Team

Hello Alexis! Thank you so much for dining with us recently! We understand some hesitancy when it comes to the merged concepts, but with popular demand we made the decision to have this limited time offering to satisfy numerous guest request! Glad to hear that the initiative has been received well, and we look forward to your return visit! Thank you, Gusto Italia & ChoLon-Sloan's Lake Team

Service was ok, food was good. Location is killer. We overordered. The 12 inch is meant for two so I would recommend a pizza an appetizer and that should be enough for two.

Everything was phenomenal. Their new cherry tart dessert was absolutely delicious. Perfect amount of tart and sweet. I went for the Amalfi Pie and it did not disappoint. I will definitely be back. Service was great also.
