Had a nice dinner here on 12/9/25 for a business meeting. Staff was very friendly and very good follow up at our table which is rare sadly to say at most restaurants these days. I had the chicken Francese and for apps we had garlic knots, bacon wrapped shrimp, and the meatballs as a group of 8. I’ll be heading back to the Gilbert area in a few months and look forward to trying this place again so if your in the area, check em out 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Such a nice gem in Cooley Station. The ambiance was nice. The staff was nice and informative. We started the night out with some Whipped ricotta which I highly suggest trying. Some other dishes we tried were the chopped salad, the salmon and the Stromboli. All were amazing!
The entire experience from the hostess/seating to the ordering/dining was excellent. Our server was fantastic and not only made great recommendations, but checked in at the right times, refilled drinks perfectly, and just made us feel comfortable. We had the Short Rib pasta and the Linguine and clams. Both were excellent. Can't wait to come back and try more!
My first time here. We went for Mother's Day. It was extremely hot and we ate outside. Our food was delicious and as we went to pay. Our waitress told us Mom's eat free for Mother's day. What a surprise. Thank you Crust so much. Made our day super special.
First time coming to Crust, Our reservation was for 5:15 And they sat us right away, this place was crowded so if you’re coming here, I recommend making reservations, Our waitress Natalie, who by the way is amazing and awesome always checking on us and always with a smile on her face thank you, Natalie, We started off the fried Calamari And a couple of margarita drinks from the happy hour these drinks were delicious, ordered some garlic knots, My girlfriend had the eggplant parmigiana. I ordered the spicy rigatoni sausage. These were delicious. At one point, my girlfriend says that the eggplant is better than mine. I don’t understand that but OK., So if you’re in the area, I recommend this place for a nice meal and if you’re not drive over you’ll love it.
