Gusto Beach Restaurant Pizzeria

Great experience at this beach restaurant! Even though we were a walk-in, they took us in and we were seated right on the sand with comfy sofa-style chairs and elegant string lights overhead. The whole ambience had that perfect mix of upscale beach vibes while still feeling relaxed and welcoming. Our hostess, Alison, was very attentive and offered great recommendations for both drinks and food. I tried the sea bass with chipotle mayo, which had just the right amount of spice and flavor. Overall, a wonderful dining experience for my family!

Very nice place to be in Samara, Costa Rica. Directly on the beach with a beautiful view we enjoied our delicious lunch. Pictures speak for themselves and a very kind and helpful waitress, Alison, made it a perfect stay. 😊 No low budget but the prices fit to the quality. We were very satisfied and will come back!

Whether business or pleasure, always a pleasure: We kept coming back here while on our vacation to Samara! Twice for dinner and twice to use their beach chairs (we bought drinks/lunch in order to use them). The music is always good—it starts around 7 at night, and they had live music Saturday afternoon too! They also had a fire show a little before the music started at night, and it was super cool! One night it was raining, so they moved all the tables inside; however, the musician still played, and the vibes were still great! Staff is friendly, and they do take credit cards here! We loved the Verde drink—a kiwi gin and tonic. They had a good wine selection. For food we loved: avocado toast, spaghetti puttanesca, rigatoni alla boscaiola, the risotto special with Gorgonzola and beets, and the margarita pizza with prosciutto, as well as the affogato and cuore caldo al cioccolato for dessert. Make reservations for weekend evenings!

Amazing food, unbeatable atmosphere, and incredible service. We went 2x in our five day trip and both times were exceptional. They have an outdoor (beach) seating area, upstairs, and a great layout downstairs. It feels like you’re in paradise, and the food, service are the best out of everywhere we tried.

This beach club restaurant was our favorite in Samara! We spent our days relaxing on their comfortable and clean beach furniture, chairs, couches, umbrellas, having drinks, snacks and meals (lunch and dinner). The price was worth it for us. We experienced excellent service, fresh and delicious food and drinks. Since we spent so much time there, we especially loved the variety of food options, music, vibe, everything! Thank you!!

Great place to be at Samara beach. Food is good and expensive lol. Just like everything in this part of CR. Such a chill vibe we came back a few times. It is so much different than Nosara.

In a beautiful beachfront setting, delightfully prepared food, including tropical reinterpretations of mediterranean classic dishes, an awesome dining experience in Samara!
