Gusto Handcrafted Pasta & Pizza

Every aspect of our dinner was fantastic! 12 guests and everyone loved their drinks and their food! The restaurant staff was very accommodating of our late-booked and large party. From appetizers to pasta to fish, the dinner was superb. The restaurant is quite small so be sure to call ahead and make a reservation. Also, do not be put off by the fact that it looks like took over an old Perkos or Denny’s. This is definitely a case of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Service was great starting with drinks at the bar all the way through dinner.

Went there for our anniversary dinner & I must say the service is exceptional! It was a last minute reservation and they still managed to make it special for us with a complimentary dessert - which btw was exceptionally delicious! Vegetarian Pizza was okay but their artichoke ravioli was oh-so-good!

Actually delicious fresh pasta! Fig-strawberry salad is was fresh and a large portion. Beautiful presentation, superb service.

Nice little pasta & pizza shop in Seaside, CA. We got there right as they opened, with the delightful smell of wood fire pizza leading the way. Staff was on top of it, service was good. Food was excellent. There was a steady stream of people coming in, which showed it was a popular place with the locals.

Not just another pizza joint. The food is delicious! Great pizza selections made with perfectly crafted dough. My favorite dish is the roasted beet salad and the chicken Parmesan. Highly recommend anyone make reservations & check it out.

The whole place is great! We had a margarita pizza and some pasta… and it was delicious! You could definitely tell it was hand crafted. The drinks are great too and you can even see the people making your drink at the bar. And to top everything off the customer serves is great! It is a little pricey tho, around $25 per person. Definitely would recommend, and would go again if we weren’t just visiting. (Review written by my son, Jake,11)

Ya know how you get hungry after work and there’s zero food at home? Yeah. That was me today. Where to go… Gusto! My first time here. A little pricey. The atmosphere reminds me of a not-too-busy early evening restaurant on the North End in Boston. Italian national waited on me, a lil rough on the outside, a true Italian! The other customers were locals. My wine is Windy Oaks Pinot Noir. The bread is homemade and is served with a nosh of olive oil, chopped olives, sun dried tomatoes and possibly garlic. Super yum. After staring at the menu undecidedly, I ordered a staple of Italian cuisine, the chicken parmagiana with spaghetti alfredo. Fantastic combination. The pasta is undoubtedly homemade, but it was somewhat sticky. The parm was crispy but tender, perfectly cooked. Nothing here is premade. Was it as good as the North End? It was close. Do I recommend it? Yes. Will I come back? Yes. Bon appetit!

Gusto's is a gem. We always enjoy the food. The beet salad and braised short rib are favorites. The orange Italian soda tastes great. The restaurant is clean with well spaced tables and seating. The service staff are excellent and enthusiastic about the food they serve. The restaurant has it's own parking lot. I would recommend reservations if coming for dinner.
