Gusto Bistro in Florida

"Great good at a great price. The goat cheese bruschetta is fantastic. This place is little, but the staff is friendly and accommodating. We came in on Friday night without a reservation. We were able to find a spot at the bar and our waitress was super friendly and attentive."

"We were on vacation in St Augustine and came across this Italian Restaurant. From making a reservation to the greeting once we arrived, to the food; this was the BEST experience and the BEST Italian dishes ever. We were greeted and served by Cheryl who was so attentive, informative on all dishes and made us feel valued as customers. She is a true asset to this establishment. The food and service were so exceptional that we went back for a second time and will visit every time we are in St Augustine. It’s hard to give a 5star review to any restaurant, but this was an easy one as everything was EXCELLENT."

"went here back in 2025. service was amazing, but you HAVE to get the spaghetti amatriciana. the slightly spicy, crispy guanciale was soo delcious. best pasta ive had in a while. their salads (especially caesar) were among the best salads ive had as well. kudos to the chef."

"Scrumptious authentic Italian food!! The meatball (8 oz.!) is to die for—-the best meatball I’ve had since my husband’s Sicilian grandma’s meatballs!! We thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Piccata and the Pasta Carbonara! Both were delectable! We WILL be back! Call to make a reservation, to assure a table."

"Good food. I found this place last minute. Came with a group of 7 so I recommend calling in advance. Friendly servers and yummy food. The portions are good. Its just the wait can be a bit long. I wouldnt recommend if your on a time crunch. The ambiance is nice, there is also outdoor tables as well."

"We didn’t have reservations and they were pretty busy, but we were able to sit at the bar and the service was friendly. Our server went out of her way to give samples of wine she thought I might enjoy. The place was pretty busy. The quant atmosphere was awesome. The place is small, seating about 40 people inside as well as a few outside tables and the bar has room for about 4 more. We had the eggplant parmigiana. It came with a salad and bread and some spaghetti! The food was fantastic! So yes, I give it a 5 star! We are staying in st. Augustine and it’s about a 20 minute drive because of the light festival going on. Definitely worth the trip."

"Amazing little restaurant. Went there for my birthday and wasn't sure what to think but I'm glad we decided to try them out. The food and service were amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for good Italian food in Saint Augustine."

"The only thing that’s better than this establishment is the incredible service we received. The meatballs are incredible, soups are amazing, and the sauces they make for their dishes are straight out of Italy. The authenticity of this food is spot on. The lasagna is absolutely a show stopper. You can’t go wrong on this menu. We were fortunate enough to land with Cheryl as our server. She was incredibly knowledgeable, so welcoming, and very attentive. Apart from the food, she was the main reason we came back for a second meal. The rest of the staff was also amazing. The location is so charming, like you ran into a hidden gem in Rome. We’ll be back. Thank you to the wonderful staff and the incredible chef."
