Gusto Italian Café - Center Harbor, New Hampshire

This is simply one of the best restaurants you will ever go to. We’ve been multiple times already and will be continuing to frequent when we’re in the area. The food is phenomenal and the service is wonderful. My personal favorite is the Milano on fresh focaccia. One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had! The breakfast sandwhiches are also great! I tried the Calabrese. Everyone is so kind and even threw in a sfogliatelle pastry to try for free. It was the best of the lot. Love this place and couldn’t recommend it more!

Such wonderful place with warm people. The owners are so friendly and the staff too. Today I loved sitting there with my two boys watching the owner come in with her new Baby smiling and having the best time. Such an absolutely great environment. We have been coming here for 2-3 years and it’s always wonderful. Don’t come to the area without stopping! Get there early to make sure you get one of the fresh cinnamon rolls they are crazy good! This was the berry croissant and hazelnut latte. Chefs kiss!

"I recently discovered a charming Italian cafe with my sister, who's a regular there. Despite being from out of town, I felt right at home. The cafe was bustling with people, but we were seated promptly.

The menu boasted an impressive array of options, from sandwiches to desserts. Their latte selection was particularly delightful. I opted for the Chicken Milano sandwich, which exceeded my expectations - it was truly delicious!

The chocolate croissant was another highlight, flaky and rich. Overall, I'd give this cafe a well-deserved 10/10. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by - you won't be disappointed!"

Not the first time we’ve been and won’t be the last! Can’t recommend this place enough to anyone nearby. Fresh sandwiches, tasty variety of pastries and amazing coffee!

Great little cafe with excellent service. We got the inferno breakfast sandwiches which my wife really enjoyed but I wasn't a huge fan. I thought it needed spice and I wasn't a fan of the Italian sausage which is totally a personal problem, otherwise the sandwiches were delicious. We got carrot cake which could have used much more spice as it was fairly muted. The sfogliatella was interesting with an orange like filling, maybe other spices as well (it wasn't labeled as to the filling so we're just guessing off our palettes). I wouldn't get the same one again but we love baked goods so we'd try another. The bombolonis were decent. The lemon filling could have been much sharper but it was filled very well. The chocolate needed much more filling. Both were fairly dry also which detracted from the experience. Overall good not great first time there. I'd come back and try other things if I was in the area but we won't be going out of our way.

We had a delicious breakfast at Gusto! Nick and Elena have truly created such a wonderfully authentic and beautiful spot for locals to come and get a true taste of Italy. The breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and pastries were Devine. Congrats you guys!!

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.

Great spot for breakfast or lunch, counter service. Tons of options from pastries and coffee to delicious paninis and much more.

From the sign on the wall they have beer and mixed drinks also. There's indoor seating but it can get a bit crowded. But you should put this on your list of places to eat when in town.
