Editorial Review for Gonzo – by Allison Austin
The Scene
The energy is warm, easy and pleasant--everyone is having a good time, and the feeling is palpable. In the front bar, boisterous neighbors and friends share bottles of wine; the large dining room, with its lovely painted ceiling and oversized portrait of a portly chef, is the destination for serious eating.
The Food
Pizzas are nothing short of excellent--perfectly charred, with a bend-y, thin crust. Pair them with a simple salad, such as grilled onions drizzled with olive oil, or arugula with sweet balsamic onions and Parmesan. Pasta lovers may be a bit disappointed: While the hefty bowls of pasta are fine, both the penne gratin and the pappardelle with lamb ragu taste like they're missing something. Among entrees, the porcini-crusted bass and the braised short ribs are standouts. And if you manage to leave room for dessert, the classic ricotta cheesecake is a very good choice.

My friend had reserved a table for th 4 of us at Gonzo. It was a great pick. We didn't want to leave the neighborhood and didn't want to go to a place where we had to dress to impress and walk out hungry. The food was simple but delicious and the staff was friendly and unpretentious. Only things that disappoint: no wine glasses and it did get very loud. But all-in-all, a nice place to go to in the Village when the food is more important than the bling.
Pros: Great Food, Friendly Staff
Cons: Loud

Not an experience that I will cherish to say the least. I don't understand what people see in this place. Is everyone that deprived of quality Italian food. I spent $25 for veal palliard which was decent at best along with a summer corn and tomato salad that turned out to be nothing more than a plate of corn for $13. The menu was very limited and with the exception of a few pasta dishes there wasn' to much Italian-prepared dishes on the list. Geez....I've had better at grandma's house. Won't be back to gone-zo.
Pros: Ambience was the only thing to speak of here
Cons: Quality of the food left alot to be desired, highly overpriced
