    Caprese
    Leksii B.

    My fiance came to visit from San Diego and it's been hard to impress him with restaurants in Modesto, but he couldn't stop saying how delicious the food was here. We came for brunch & I'm absolutely in awe with this place. I can't believe I didn't come sooner. From the minute we walked in they greeted us with a friendly demeanor. I ordered a Carmel latte and it was made with love by Vinny. They brought out a delicate buttery warm croissant. Jenny was our server and she made the greatest recommendations. Jay is such a great chef, he made our Caprese and as something so simple, it was absolutely delightful. The chef in the back of the house made a phenomenal minestrone soup (made to order) I had to get some extra to go. Not to mention the pasta was made from scratch with rich flavorful sauces. This will definitely be my go to Italian place. Thank you everyone for such a great experience.

    Awesome food. Got the seafood risotto subbed the risotto for spaghetti .... Yummm.... Would highly recommend

    Grilled veggies and egg and amazing option for us vegetarians.

    We have been coming to Gusto Italiano for over a year now. We are so happy with the service very professional and friendly. The food is always fresh and full of flavor! They have wonderful vegetarian options as well and are always very accommodating. And we love the full bar! Would recommend to everyone. And Karaoke every Sunday at 8pm is a must for me!

    Fish special with veggies and mashed potatoes (potatoes were so flavorful)

    Amazing!! First time trying Gusto Italiano and I will be back. Right when we sat down the owner came over and made us feel at home. Everything looked amazing so we asked him to just keep bringing us food so we can try it all. Everything that came out was prepared perfectly and had great flavor. The seafood was fresh, pasta was cooked to perfection and the flavors were insane. The wild boar was the most surprising. Wasn't sure how I would like it but it was one of my favorites. Even after eating a lot more than I usually do, I didn't feel heavy or weighted down like I would when I eat pasta. This is so fresh and homemade that it doesn't give you that feeling. It is a very cozy spot and it is a great place for a group of friends that like to share, laugh, enjoy wine and have a good time.

Location does take reservations and they get very busy on holidays. They have a full bar they have bench seating and regular table styles. High-end cuisine with flavors that pairs, so great together. We started with the bruschetta while enjoying our cocktails. Then moved onto the absolutely perfectly cooked filet mignon coated, and garlic butter. Vegetables cooked to perfection.. Then, of course, we had to finish it with their crème brûlée, amazing vanilla flavor, perfect caramelized sugar top. This is not a cheap place to go to so make sure that you bring your wallet, and your appetite.

So now was really howling it was yummy and decent experience since I was taking mom out with us too. And let me tell you, we were so happy with our service and food. The chef's are absolutely amazing, the waitress was kind and very competent. We honestly have nothing but positive things to say. I always strive for a wholesome healthy kids menu as we have two crunchy kids (6 and 3) and hate when us adults eat wholesome food and the kids menu is garbage, and let me tell you their food was all made from scratch, so wholesome and delicious. They shared a kids pizza with white sauce, chicken nuggets meal (which is a breaded Milanesa style cut up) with big curly fries that gave potatoe wedges vibes, and we had Garlic Spicy Chicken pasta which's was so absolutely delicious and full of bold flavors, my a rib eye steak meal that very well cooked full of flavor and juicy, and an adult size chicken Alfredo pasta. We were so happy, and went back the next day for lunch. This was 5/10/26... and today it's 5/13 and we're heading back there again! Highly recommend. I did think about taking pics, but I was so hungry and in the moment. Ambiance is nice and kid friendly, which we appreciate.
