Profile

Though it's a neighborhood place, Gusto is the rare local spot worth a visit just for the food. Adhering to the kind of up-front, simply layered, freshness-beats-all approach that makes Italian the most appealing summer fare, Gusto's menu is stocked with items like panzanella (bread salad), grilled focaccia with fig and prosciutto, squash blossoms filled with mozzarella and ricotta, and seppioline (marinated cuttlefish with chiles and crushed olives) that won't weigh you down. Even earthier items like tripe get a lift from a crackling Parmesan crust. A seasonal, spirited pasta con le sarde practically fizzes with the refreshing trio of sardines, pine nuts, and raisins. Surprisingly, what may cause your enthusiasm for Gusto to wilt is its sparkling but unnavigable design, which keeps the staff from establishing any flow. It's not their fault, but sometimes it makes you want to scream.

Extra

When the temperature is hot, enjoy your meal with a sparkling Lambrusco from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy.

Brunch
Sat.–Sun., 11 a.m.–4 p.m.

My family and I have eaten at Gusto many times when we've travelled to NYC to see family. All dining experiences have been nothing short of superb. The space, service & above all the food has been some of the finest culinary experiences we have had the fortune to experience! I know there was a short time when Chef Montiel was gone and some have written negatively about their experiences during this time frame. Fortunately he has returned with incredible enthusiasm, creativity and GUSTO!

Gusto offers lovely atmosphere and excellent service, but most of all great food that you will talk about even after dinner.
