Gusto Italian Café

I lived in Italy for two years, so I don’t say this lightly — finding a true taste of Italy in New Hampshire felt special. Gusto Caffe in Meredith is the closest I’ve come to being back there. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. The warmth isn’t just service — it’s genuine. The baker is from Sicily, and you can taste that authenticity in every bite. Everything is fresh, simple, and absolutely heavenly. Raul makes the best cappuccino, and Elena greets you with the most beautiful smile. It’s not just a café — it’s an experience that brings you straight back to Italy. 🇮🇹

Stunning Italian Café. Probably one of the most authentic Italian places you can go to in New Hampshire. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff are kind, and the food is so fresh. Prices are fair considering the economy and the pastries are a must have. If you’re craving Italian, stop searching and just come here. You won’t regret it!

Food and coffee were great! Tried a smoothie and a pastry, also excellent. Everything looked so good! I just had breakfast and treats, but I can't wait to go back and try more options! Cool space right by the water!

Definitely a place you don’t want to drive by! I’ve never had anything here I didn’t like. They have something for everyone. As a vegetarian it’s nice to see an Italian sandwich option that isn’t a Caprese. I got the Palermo which is a chickpea fritter sandwich and it was so delicious! Light but yet filling which can be difficult with a vegetarian/vegan option. We also got some amazing pastries for later. Everything was so yummy and the service is just as incredible as the food!

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!
