Gusto Grocery Italian Market

Finally Italian Grocery! We have found our basic ingredients over here. while you’re living aboard, this kind of shop that help you. The price more cheaper than the Italian shops downtown SD even it’s small but quite good for our needs.

After I returned from a trip to Italy, I needed to buy the proper ingredients for several dishes, and so I returned to this jewel of a store. Originally a wholesale and mail-order operation, Gusto is now open to the public and operates an online store. They sell such essential Italian products as cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, coffee, dried pasta, and the original reason for my visit: guanciale. While they are in an industrial office park off Morena Blvd., if you are in San Diego, finding them is worth the effort. The store is a delight, and so are the people who run it.

Really authentic Italian products that taste delicious. Fast shipping and extremely friendly & knowledgeable if you contact them for suggestions like I did: went with the Carbonara meal kits for my family as I couldn't return home for Christmas. My brother told me "it was the best pasta I've ever had" - awesome.

San Giuliano Unfiltered Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 liter It tasted nothing like olive oil and more like motor oil. Very bad bitter taste, not even a hint of olive. The color was clear yellow as opposed to the cloudy green color of unfiltered olive oil that they show in the picture. When I asked if I could return it, Luca at Gusto Grocery stated since it was opened they couldn't return it. Duh! how do you find out if it is bad unless you open the bottle and taste the motor oil. $18.99+shipping went straight to the sink drain. Kirkland brand from Costco is much better at half the price and it tastes like EVOO. I also use Partanna EVOO which is superior. So much for Gusto.

Awesome authentic Italian products with excellent customer service. Antonella is so personable, and gives you specific details and recommendations for each product. An hidden gem for sure!

Friendly service. Nice surprise. They have imported goods from Italy. Found fresh cannoli shells! And so much more. If you are looking for something specific, contact them in advance. They can accommodate your request to the best of their ability.

Wide selection of high quality products straight from Italy. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If you're looking for those Italian special treats, don't look any further, Gusto Grocery will most likely have them in store for you. +++

The porcine ravioli and tomato basil pasta sauce are beyond The Best! Excited to try more from this authentic Italian grocer! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Gusto is located in a quiet business area not too far from Costco. 4 stars for great parking! I can't review the actual store because it has already closed for the day (I arrived at 12:20 pm). Wish they had their hours more visible. I chased their sign that was set up outside of Costco on Morena Blvd to come here. No hours posted outside of the business. I'll update my review once I actually get to go inside. I am excited to see what they carry! Store Hours per Gusto's website: Online Store: Open 24/7, 365 San Diego Fulfillment Center: Monday - Friday, 9 am - 12 pm, PST. Saturday - Sunday, 10 am - 6 pm, PST. Shop or pickup after normal hours by appointment.

What an absolute gem. A little hard to find at first (at least for me), but once you are there, it's Italian Foodie Nirvana! The store is small, but packed with exquisiteness: fresh and dry pastas (excellent brands), amazing assortment of olive oils from several Italian regions, guanciale, pancetta, pecorino from Sardegna, more cheeses, balsamic vinegars, coffee, cookies, and so many more delicacies. Do yourself a favor and go explore Gusto, you will be happy you did, I am. Ciao.

This little Italian grocery supply store is a hidden gem. All the high quality basics you need are here and people who work here are friendly and know their products. This is where I will come for all my Italian grocery needs.

Super nice and helpful. Small selection but it's a specialty store and they are super helpful!

Gusto is a very small Italian Specialty store. They are in a business area down the street from the Costco. There is plenty of parking. Make a note of the suite number to find them.They have a few fresh items in a refrigerated section but most of their items are packaged. They have several types of risotto's that you just add water to the package. There is dry pasta from Italy. It was nice to shop without the crowds.

As an Italian this quickly became my go-to store for my favorite imported delicacies. The store is new and has a good amount of products while new ones are adding quickly. Plus the location is convenient with plenty of parking for a relaxing experience, I really enjoyed shopping here.

Gusto has the best Italian food products I've tried in San Diego. I'm a member of a cookbook club and one of the recipes we wanted to make called for guanciale - I didn't know where to get it, found gusto online, and when I arrived they helped with ALL the ingredients! They even convinced me on a different cut of pasta that was perhaps better suited for the dish- the cookbook club agreed, they were right. Thanks, guys!
