This was such a treat to end our stay in Hilton Head. From the minute I made my reservation till we left we were showered with smiles, and that great Italian attitude of enjoying life. The staff truly made you feel like family, and their whole purpose was to make sure you enjoyed their food. Our waitress was so warm and friendly. She explained their menu, their wines and answered all our questions. I tried the Spaghetti alla Carbonara and my wife had a Ravioli Special. Our dishes were so perfectly made, the bar has been set to the universe. Gonna be hard to find any made better. And did I mention everything was reasonably priced. Next time we’re in town we’re not gonna wait till the last day to eat here.
Came for an early dinner and asked the server for recommendations. Without hesitation, he indicated the Chicken Parmigiano. The warm bread was very tasty with the dipping oil. The chicken was pounded very thin, was really tender, and it actually was the first food that I ever had that truly melted in my mouth. There is no need to consider anything else. Before exiting, I spoke with the hostess and two other servers and was told that for nearly an hour before opening, all you hear from the kitchen is Bang, Bang, Bang pounding of the chicken.
On my recent trip to Hilton Head Island, I discovered Gusto Ristorante and it was amazing. The dishes were so authentic, it felt like a culinary journey straight to Italy. If you're in the area and craving genuine Italian cuisine, this place is a must-visit.
May B is possibly the best server I’ve had in my dining life. The perfect balance of professional and personal, checks in regularly but not too much, very nice to my kids, and delivered excellent pasta. We will be going here for years to come.
Came in tonight for dinner, the three entrees ordered were delicious and pretty good portion, personally my girlfriend lucked out by ordering the lasagna it was the best thing we got. Abby our server was phenomenal and very helpful.
First time visiting Hilton Head . We where greeted so nicely. We didn’t have reservations but they fit us in . The Server Jasmine was awesome explaining the specials . We went for the specials Seafood Cannelloni and the Fish of the day Seabass . Really the food was exceptional , had the insalata di pera , had a glass of Old Vine Zinfandel also .
Highly Recommend Gusto . Caio
Wow! Amazing authentic Italian cuisine- complete with ambiance and our fantastic Sicilian waiter. The Shrimp pasta dish (wish I could remember its name!) was terrific.. light lemon, olive oil white wine sauce… Chicken marsala was so good! Chicken parmigiana completely delicious and lasagna romana was mouth watering. Highly recommend and hope someday we can come back to HHI to enjoy the sunrises and this restaurant! Bravo, Gustos!
Food was delicious! Jasmine was a great server and took great care of us. Really recommend the caprese, it was so refreshing!

Gusto is a 5 star experience every time we go. The atmosphere is great, the food is delicious and you can’t beat the service. We like to sit with Antonio in the bar or patio section and he always takes such great care of us! We have taken friends and family members here to dine when they visit and they have all enjoyed the food just as much as we do as regulars.
If I had to complain about one thing, it would only be that they are closed on Sunday!
We had a very nice meal with good service. The place was not very busy when we arrived for our reservation, but it did become packed by the time we left. The bread was excellent and the pasta was very fresh and tasty. The deserts were excellent as well. We will return on our next trip.
