Gusto Italian Café

This was our first time here. It’s a bit rustic but it’s cute inside. The food and the service were great. I ordered a toscana which comes with prosciutto, it was sliced perfectly thin. My one complaint is that the $8 orange juice, which was delicious, wasn’t full to the top.

The lemon croissant was flaky and delicious, but slightly too sweet and not lemony enough for me.

First time today, terrific lunch. Firenze sandwich truly tasted like it was plucked off the streets in Italy - the bread was the star of the show. Looking forward to the next time I’m in the area so that I can stop at Gusto!

This place had good reviews from people I know, so I figured it was worth trying… but WOW! This was the most amazing lunch I have ever had.. hands down. And the cinnamon buns… 10000/10. This is by far the best quality lunch food and treats around. I was so impressed! Super friendly atmosphere as well. I thought the prices were good/average when I ordered but the portions are incredible! We easily could have shared my sandwich. Well worth it.. and worth the drive from Laconia any day… My husband and I are obsessed and absolute fans now! Amazing job.

100/10 reccomend!!!!!!
The closest place to Italy without leaving the country.
Authentic Italian pastires and atmosphere. A little slice of Italian Heaven and located right here in the Lakes region the staff welcoming and amazing.
Everyone needs to come here atleast once in their life. The expierence of a lifetime.

Wonderful cafe featuring tasty espresso beverages and homemade pasta dishes. I will be back to try their breakfast sandwiches.

Best Cafe I’ve been to for gluten free options - and they’re hardly advertised! You can order the breakfast sandwiches and get it on gluten free focaccia - a first for me after a decade. Plus, live guitar music! What a brunch.

They also have a wide range of gluten free desserts which were all great. Their menu says they have cooking courses and After eating there I’d be interested in learning how they make their gf bread!

Hidden gem.

Always amazing! Go here!
Great atmosphere
Delicious food
Dinner isnt my favorite but the breakfast and lunch sandwiches are awesome

I love pastries and this place has the best I’ve ever had!! The kids loved the food so much, they want to plan their next vacation in Italy! Definitely 5 stars!!!

My husband also got a breakfast sandwich and quiche and both were amazing!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Elena and Nick are the incredible husband and wife team behind Gusto. They recently helped cater my husband's 40th birthday celebration and I cannot recommend them enough. A++ experience from planning the menu to the day of the event. The food speaks for itself and our guests were all raving about how delicious everything was - the charcuterie, olives, cheeses, eggplant and chicken parmesan, and their famous tiramisu. The lakes region is so very lucky to have this gem - thank you, thank you Nick and Elena!

I cannot say enough about this place. Had to try it after seeing so many wonderful reviews. We came for lunch yesterday and then returned for breakfast today. The owners are so friendly, welcoming, and clearly love what they do. The croissants were absolutely AMAZING. My husband said it was one of the best things he has ever eaten for breakfast and he is a tough critic. They deserve more than 5 stars. It’s a must visit.

Hands down best food in the Lakes Region. Truly authentic Italian cuisine, amazing atmosphere and owners and staff that make you feel like family every time you go in. Gusto is this NH native’s favorite place to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. So excited for GUSTO TAPHOUSE to open this summer!

Gusto is PHENOMENAL. The Lakes region isn't the easiest place to find memorable food, but this place takes the cake. They have 3 cases filled with some of the freshest and most delicious pastries I've ever had. Nutella croissant, lemon cream croissant, hazelnut braid, ricotta nutella tart, fruit tarts, dark chocolate PB croissant, tiramisu, cannolis, sfogliatelle... we bought a LOT. It was all 10/10. We came back the same day and got 3 paninis, the Toscano, Milano, and Roma - all WOW. They truly couldn't improve on anything. So well seasoned. Bread like a cloud. I can't wait to try everything on the menu, and am so grateful for a perfect lakeside spot to grab a truly sensational meal.

Counter service lively and charming, ambiance warm and friendly, food simply fabuloso! We had an Amalfi and a calabrese, with Nutella lattes. Working hard to resist the delectable pastries. Definitely worth a visit. Update, just had to stop in one more time before heading home. Pasta of the day and a macchiato—perfect end cap to our vacation, serenaded by a wonderful guitarist and thoroughly enjoyable meal. Thank you Gusto!!!

Absolutely love this place! I’m from Boston but whenever I’m in the area I have to come by. The food, drinks and vibe are incredible. The gentleman behind the counter is always so nice and fun. I always feel we get a kind, genuinely fantastic service.

I had to stop-in after seeing the highest super-dooper reviews.
Great atmosphere！
Delicious fancy food！
Tiramisu is my favorite!
Thanks to the delicious gift of Chocolate croissant to my son.
Will definitely come back!

We stopped by a second time on our way home in August . I am craving their food! Absolutely delicious sandwiches. And those pastries are to die for! Those flakey, custard filled squares covered in berries! We grabbed four of them and wanted more. This place is just so good. Cinnamon rolls and the fruit tarts were also a hit. I wish we lived closer!

The Inferno is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had, wish we still lived in the Lakes Region so I could have it more often!

Amazing gluten free breakfast and dessert options. Family loves their non-GF foods too. Got one of the many breakfast sandwiches on GF focaccia and the tiramisu as take out. Wow!

When you like fresh pastry and baked goods, that's the place to go when going through town.
We had a little sampler through the pastries and everything was delicious

Enjoyed the food here a lot. Easy to order from the counter and lots of seating down and upstairs. A wonderful addition to center harbor
