Gustoso

I had heard of Gustoso from friends and decided to stop by and check it out on my way through my old hometown. I am glad I did!
I chose the namesake Gustoso pasta dish. It was delicious! It was a creamy sauce with corn, mushrooms, large bites of chewy bacon (not crunchy bacon crumbles), parsley and parmesan served atop a delectable al dente fettuchini. Perfection in a dish.
I also had the risotto bites appetizer. Risotto blended with 3 cheeses (I want to know what cheeses) then breaded, rolled into a ball and deep fried. These were served with watery marinara, but needed no dipping sauce. They were excellent on their own.
Prices were higher, but the portion sizes matched the prices. With an entree and a meal, it's big enough to split with a friend.

Servings are great proportions, food is full of flavors, cooked fresh every time. There's something for everyone and the desserts are incredible

I really liked the food in this place because they prepare it instantly so it is always very fresh and their attention is very special with some very sweet people

A must try! Food from a food truck served in a small dining room from a counter-service style concept.... With absolutely amazing flavors and twists on old standbys.

Small, cozy spot with a small but quality menu. I travel for a living and spots like this are always a pleasure to find. This is good, inexpensive, tasty and proper quality food for the prices. Don’t believe any other reviews except for positive ones.

Came to Emporia to take my wife to dinner, looked up the place figured why not. Very welcoming, super nice, and pretty quick. Dining area is a little small but works great. Food was hot and absolutely amazing. We left with our stomach full, and even though the prices are coming up on everything everywhere, this place is fair and worth every penny. Will definitely make a trip to come back. Thank you.

Excellent food and large portions. This may be my new favorite place in Emporia.

The pasta was amazing, it was just the right consistency! Very rich and creamy flavor, did not disappoint. The service is also amazing, very friendly and welcoming place!
