   We just arrived back from a trip to Italy ( focused on food and wine ). We were told by friends that if we wanted authentic Italian food, this is where we needed to go. Gusto delivered on every level. From the owner greeting us, seating and serving us. Everything about this place is genuine and authentic! The food was outstanding!

   The food was truly authentic Italian. The decor was modern Italian. The food, service was excellent. They are going to need a bigger restaurant once the word gets out !!!

   With the knowledge that Gusto Ristorante Italiano had been named the best Italian restaurant in Pennsylvania I was not expecting to go to a restaurant in a small shopping center. But when I and my party of three entered the restaurant itself we met very welcoming staff, great recorded music, and a very cozy and calm environment. I had already seen the menu online and was impressed by it in all the categories, which proved to be an accurate judgement on my part as prepped by my Italian origin. I had never tasted Cacio e Pepe pasta and so I ordered that here. The owner prepared it live at our table in a big cheese wheel and it was delicious. We also ordered smoked mozzarella for one of our appetizers and that too was brought to the table under a smoke machine along with five accompaniments. Again, deliciousness. I had a small taste of everyone else's pasta and main dishes at our table and everything - tomato sauce, fresh fish preparation, bragiole and meatballs and chicken - was, again, delicious. The espressos were also excellently prepared as was the cannolli in parts in a wine glass. Gusto will be a go-to restaurant for us now when we are in Pernnsylvania!

   Price- $120 for four people. To include two apps and two entries. Food was shared family style Food- Authentic Italian. Great product prepared perfectly. Best food anywhere nearby. True European menu, changed every few months. Service- two people handle perhaps thirty seats. Very much like Europe. May be a little slow when busy on weekends. We’re always in a rush, so slow down for good food Ambiance- simple pleasant interior Our Experience- Great food, relaxed. The table is yours for the evening, just like Italy Total neighborhood gem!

   We have always enjoyed every dining experience since we started dining at Gusto Ristorante. The owner and staff are warm, sincere and welcoming. The offerings are a reflection of all the food we enjoyed on our own ventures to Italy!

   We heard wonderful things about this restaurant so we had to try it for my Aunt’s birthday. Food was excellent but portions were extremely small and lacked presentation. Would have preferred a dessert menu but only gelato and espresso offered…(I understand the Italy theme but would have enjoyed a cup of coffee and dessert after dinner). Staff was great and hustled all night.
