Gusto Italian Bistro

I love this place and Roberto! The food is sooooo good and I never feel crummy after eating there, even if I eat a lot! The food is so flavorful and unique, with the use of Italian ingredients. I love the marinara. The value is incredible for the cost too. We've been able to order several things to try because it's so affordable. Roberto is so kind and makes a point to interact with us. It's what I imagine visiting an old world place to be like. It's definitely an experience - from the bistro ambiance outside to the decor, food, and care from the owner inside. Gusto is definitely a favorite place of mine - from the first visit!

When someone really puts his heart into culinary, enjoying food, making great dishes and very genuine, that's what I found at Gusto. The food is amazing, it's an extremely authentic Italian bistro and everything made fresh to order, all the ingredients are fresh and even the croutons are legit. This place doesn't use store bought broth, they make their own broth which makes the food very savory and not overly salty. The chicken Milanese is bomb, crispy and juicy at the same time and tiramisu is gone in 60 seconds. Definitely one of my fave places at the shoppes and can't wait to try their other items!PS: Their pricing is very affordable as well, not overly priced at all.

Wow! My sister & I came here on New Years day, so glad they were open. I first saw this eatery on Instagram & was eager to try. Well, we found a little gem here at Gusto. It's a really cute Italian bistro, you order at the counter, which I'm in all favor for. We ate there, outside the bistro are two small tables you can eat your food. Outside the mall there is plenty of seating, unless you take your food to go.The owner was very sweet & he is very passionate about explaining the menu to you.The food was "Magnifico" you can tell there is love behind his food.Our taste buds were doing the happy dance throughout the dinner.I also ordered my son a dish to go, for his lunch break. He really enjoyed his food. He wanted to go there and eat on his day off. You must try this bistro, it is authentic Italian, delicious. Can't wait to go back...soon!

I had the best lasagna here the other day! Gusto is a welcomed and refreshing addition to the Shoppes serving great Italian food in a fast-casual setting, without sacrificing quality. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients here in the tomato sauce and even their pizza crust. The storefront is beautiful and modern. It felt like I was grabbing a bite to eat at a pizzeria/pasta shop in Italy. The staff here were very friendly and helpful in deciding what to order. Highly recommend checking this place out and sitting at their cafe tables outside to enjoy.

Came in on a whim, saw a sign that said afogato & of course I had to try it, I waited for about a little over 10 minutes yes for a cup of ice cream filled with whipped cream..... the hold up ? They were making the whip cream.I took several spoonfuls of whipped cream... and ice cream...... no coffee flavor was present.... I then walk back to ask for a shot of espresso bc clearly this was a $7+ cup of vanilla ice cream..... and the cashier said he would have to charge me for an extra shot ? Really ?????? I had just texted my friend we should come in here and try their food bc the place does look cozy and pics look good but. Not anymore. He did put an extra shot of espresso in my cup, but not out of good customer service but because I then caught an attitude and said really, there's absolutely no coffee in this cup of ice cream. I I probably won't be coming back to try the food

Have had the pleasure of eating here twice now and both times the food has been soooo good. To start the place is located inside the shoppes, near Barnes & nobles, very nicely decorated, simple but so cute. The workers were friendly and greeted me upon my arrivalNow the food.. wow the food is so good & I can immediately tell how fresh this was.My first time here I had the wallet sandwich with French fries, the garlic aioli flavoring was delicious!Today my sister went and got lunch for the family and I tried the milanese sandwich, I think this may be my new favorite! It was so good and the chicken was white meat, crispy & overall tasteful. I know I'll be back for this soon!My sister got an Alfredo pasta with shrimp, garlic toast and tiramisu. She loved it as well. So happy about this new and delicious Italian spot opening in our city.

Second time coming here! Same as the first experience! Great staff, Roberto was there to greet me and "Welcome back" which is awesome he remembers us! This time we noticed they offer lasagna and the wife and I are fans. We ordered a lasagna slice, it came with garlic bread and the Lasagna was fresh! The cheesiest and most delightful flavor! The pasta was soft with lots of flavor made with 100% beef! It was probably the best lasagna we've tasted in years. Gusto me Gusto! We also ordered the Mac and cheese. It's so soft and cheesy but light as well. Overall a great experience and will continue to recommend Gusto to all my local friends!

First of all, I love how quaint this place is. It has very minimal decor, but also very impactful. I love the open concept kitchen as well as the fact there are outlets here in case you wanna sit around for a bit. There really is only two table to sit, but plenty of outside seating in the shoppes area.The aroma of the coffee is intoxicating when you come in here in the morning. The pastry selection is a very minimal and it looks a bit dry, but I'm sure you can have it warmed up as it's just display that they are probably putting out here. Service is very friendly, attentive and authentic. You can almost speak Italian here and I'm sure they will understand you. I like that you can customize your pasta in many ways. I opted for no toppings but the price is very reasonable for the portion and selections. Taste is great! The pasta is made al dente, with just enough topping. I did wonder if they have condiments to go, as I wonder for those who like extra cheese would we have the choice. Will have to come back to try other items and coffee!

This was my first time to this new restaurant and from the pictures on Yelp it looked pretty good. And while both the ziti and marinara it came with were good, I just didn't feel wowed by any of it. They were just adequate for someone who wasn't looking for world-class pasta.Even more disappointing were the meatballs. They were kind of cold and flavorless, especially compared to the pasta which was still pretty warm and still had more than a little flavor. Were I to come here again, I would definitely try the bolognese to see if that meat sauce fared any better.The service was good and the space was limited, but I don't fault the joint for the facilities. It's what they had to work with.I just don't think what I had was a $15 bowl of pasta. Maybe I'd have a better opinion if I'd forgone the protein and just had a $10 bowl of ziti. But who knows?I'm willing to give it another shot but I just don't see this place becoming a regular stop. That's a shame because the world could use more fast casual Italian spots.

Very good food. Nice portions and fantastic flavors. I ordered the gnocchi twice now and it's amazing. We have also ordered pizza which is very good
