Gusto Ristorante is a Northern Italian restaurant. The executive chef and owner Giancarlo Balestra with his wife Nancy bring the vibrant flavors of his native hometown of Rome, Italy to Hilton Head.
The couple who met in Rome 28 years ago discovered their shared passion for food and adventure and have since owned and operated restaurants in Aspen, Co, Winter Park, Fl and Saratoga Springs, NY. They fell in love with Hilton Head and decided to jump into this new exciting culinary adventure. Hence the name Gusto, which means flavor and taste in Italian but also means a zest of enthusiasm for a delicious taste of life.
Open: Monday-Thursday, 4–9 PM, Friday & Saturday, 4–9:30 PM. Closed: Sunday.
