"If you 're 30 minutes away from Monterey (or at Carmel , don 't bother looking around for food.. just go to Gusto! Seriously, I don 't understand why the place was empty when I went. The food was a solid 10/10 in terms of quality, price, and quantity. We got Calamari, Burrata e Prosciutto Pizza, and Linguini con Scampi. The calamari was crispy, not too salty, had a mild squid taste and wasn 't rubbery inside. If you made calamari before, or if you ordered Calamari at a lesser place, you 'd know the big difference in quality. The Burrata e Proscuitto pizza is very light in terms of flavor and heft. Most american pizza focuses on thickness, strong salty flavors, or extremely cheesy. Not this one! The basil on the pizza is light but noticable, and not overpowering. I lack the vocabulary to describe the burrata and proscuitto. I like how you can see them make the pizza from tossing the dough, slicing the proscuitto, and putting it in the wood oven. This is the MUST GET item here. It looks like a big serving, but really it 's light. 1 hungry person can solo this. Linguini con Scampi is also a must get if you want pasta. The pasta is firm, consistent, and not salty. It is the sauce that adds flavor to this dish. You know the sauce is good if you can see small chopped bits of garlic swimming in it. The SHRIMP (or Prawn..? is perfectly cooked. Like the squid earlier, you 'll instantly know this is top notch shrimp cooked without a flaw. The meat of the shrimp is not too firm, but also not mushy inside. It easily slides out the tail shell. Another MUST GET. It looks like a big serving but do not be intimidated!! The ambiance is in between upscale and italian mama cooking in the kitchen. They play italian opera and some older music, which really fit the ambiance. Nothing too loud and the volume was low enough to have a leisurely conversation without semi-shouting. The bathroom is clean, but only 1 stall/toilet for men."

Nothing noteworthy. Just overpriced pizza and pasta. Save your money and choose a different place.

The pasta here is some of the most perfectly cooked I've ever had. It never disappoints. I always recommend this restaurant to my friends who visit Monterey.
John
Decent. Not sure why this has a Michelin nod under the Bib Gourmand category. Not very welcoming staff. Seems to have a 'locals only ' vibe. Food isn 't anything special.

Gusto was fabulous! The food, the service, the ambience was all wonderful! We were in from out of town and loved every bit of this great restaurant. They made us feel like special guests from the second we walked in. View menu

The food here is outstanding, and we come here often because it's so tasty. However, tonight we had the worst service I've ever experienced. I can't believe it—I'm really quite upset. It was just terrible. I ended up leaving a 7% tip, which is something I never do.

I absolutely have to give this restaurant two thumbs up! It was my first time visiting, and I will definitely be returning. Everything was perfect—from the service to the fresh pasta, it really hit the spot. If you’re looking for a place with fresh food, this is definitely it. Enjoy!

We drove 1.25 hours one way to enjoy this wonderful find. As we approached the front of the restaurant we could smell the deliciousness. I missed getting a pic of my wood oven baked margarita pizza but it was divine. There is a full bar as well as a nice lair of mocktails. Service was perfect and the price is appropriate for the quality and flavor. View menu

I discovered this local gem while staying at the Embassy Suites nearby. The atmosphere is wonderful, although the tables are a bit close together, which makes it feel a bit cramped at first. By the end of the meal, it feels more like a family gathering. The service is friendly, and the bustling staff, along with the mouthwatering dishes being served all around, really enhances the overall vibe. Every dish we tried was delicious, and they all complemented each other perfectly, making sharing a highlight of our evening. I would definitely return!

I had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant a couple of weeks ago. The place is impeccably maintained, and the seating is very comfortable, featuring both bar and high-top tables, as well as booths. My server, Yamilex, was incredibly gracious and attentive, displaying impressive knowledge of the menu. She guided me in selecting my drink and meal for the evening. This was my first time trying seafood at Gusto, and it truly exceeded my expectations. I ordered the seared diver scallops, which were served on a bed of beautifully prepared arugula and purple mashed potatoes. The authentic prosciutto on top of the scallops was a delightful touch and one of my favorite elements of the dis...
