If you come you have to get the pork tacos. Period. They’ll make you come back every weekend like I do and you have to get a margarita. I go here for brunch all the time just for the pork tacos and margaritas. Trust me man, this is my first review ever, this should mean something :-)

GO HERE! Everything my table had was so delicious. Pasta was perfect. The fried mozzarella and gypsy capellini were my favorite. Great service. Stellar wine as well.

Small space, very good service, basic Italian fare, safe and typical menu. Nothing very imaginative straight up stamped out of a mold selection of appy's pastas, meat and seafood. Not a single soup on the menu, meals Do Not come with a salad. Portions are good size and taste fine although relatively routine. The bread served is weak about one notch up from a hamburger bun. Decent selection of wine by the glass. Shared appetizer (calamari), two entrees (gypsy capellini and Salmon Gusto) two glasses of wine $95 including tip.

From the moment we where greeted the food, cocktails service and atmosphere was incredible, 10/10. The attention of our Argentine waiter was by far the best we have ever experienced and I have waitered over 10 years in fine dining restaurants as well my other half in dining. Must visit if you in Rio or live here!

Great food in this small local restaurant. All food made fresh from scratch. We all ordered different meals and each of us were delighted with our choices

Decided last minute to go for dinner with friends. Chose this restaurant based on Tripadvisor ratings. We couldn't have been happier. Two of our group are chefs and the others seasoned travelers with high standards. Cozy inviting atmosphere and server was prompt and knowledgeable on the menu. Calimari appetizer was cooked perfectly, mussels were also delicious. The special was a lobster stuffed ravioli with lump crab meat in a creamy tomato sauce....spectacular! Three of us had the Michealangelo Veal. Tremendous combination of flavors including shrimp and scallops over the homemade angel hair pasta. Their wine and beer selection complimented our meal. All of us agreed we will be back!

It's some of the best Italian food I have ever had. Every single person at our table had a phenomenal meal. The food was fresh, delicious and cooked with a lot of love. That is rare these days. We tell everyone about this fabulous place..

Our meal was excellent. Probably one of the best piccata preparations I’ve ever had. Service was excellent, and they are very reasonably priced. If you live in Cape Coral and have never been to Gusto’s you are doing yourself a disservices. All around excellence!!!

I ordered a pasta dish and this was my first visit. The interior was small and cozy with ”kitchen “ area in rear quarter visible reminding me of a home setting. I had fettuccine Alfredo. A recommendation from chef to substitute penne for the fettuccine (as this was takeout) was denied and I was pleased with results though it could have been more al dente as requested. The bread supplied was of sufficient size but authentic Italian would be better. The Caesar salad was fresh crisp with a good tasting dressing. All in all it was a positive experience I will attempt to repeat. As this was an early Saturday evening in season, reservations would be wise. My total score would be 4.5 ⭐️

we had the calamari that was to die for. i had the parpadelle with bolognese and the hubby had ravioli. both were delicious. definitely coming back
