We ate at di Gusto today for a late lunch today. We are Italian and look for authentic Italian food. This restaurant lived up to what we were looking for. I had oriechiette pasta with broccoli and anchovies (only 2 on the top) and my husband had pasta carbonara. We split a delicious tiramisu with espresso. Davide, the owner’s son, was our server and was wonderful to talk to about where he is from in Italy and where we have visited Italy in the past. The owner also talked with us. The food was delicious, service was excellent and the atmosphere was simple but classy.

Finally writing a review after many wonderful visits to diGusto. If you want authentic Italian food, you have to go here! Tonight, we started with the meat and cheese charcuterie board which is unbelievably good. Meats are so fresh and delicious - we wound up going home with a pound of mortadella and a mozzarella for lunch tomorrow as well as some imported pasta and wine. We took my Italian parents tonight who thoroughly enjoyed their lasagne and carbonara pasta dishes while my husband was so happy to have oricchette with broccoli. It was a pleasure to talk with Roberto and Monica and their son, Davide, before we left. This is truly a gem of a restaurant in Naples. Highly recommend.

To start… the water they brought us had no ice and was actually warm. The food was either mediocre or in one case just bad. Our table faced the kitchen and we could see a microwave being used for just about all the food. One person in our party ordered the chicken parm which I tried and agreed with him that it was not good and was lukewarm at best (almost cold). Maybe because it wasn’t microwaved long enough? The portion was small which ended up being fine after we tasted how bad it was. It comes with your choice of a vegetable as a side or, you can pay an additional $9 for a side of pasta instead. The pasta was ordered for the extra charge and was maybe a half cup worth of rigatoni which again didn’t matter because it also wasn’t good. The pasta in the carbonara was good but the actual carbonara itself had no taste. The service was spotty but the staff were all really nice.We had to wait a while for service, for our food, and then for the check. I was surprised after reading all the excellent reviews that our experience was so different. Will not be back.

An Italian restaurant that puts Caesar dressing on a house lettuce, tomato , carrot salad for a Caesar salad is suspect It was good at best. Portions are fine for one person. Do not plan on sharing. However I think that is great verses portions that r too large. Needs some music in restaurant
This charming, family owned and operated (mama-chef, papa-host and son-waiter) did not disappoint. Starting from the fresh bread at the onset, to the dreamy panna cotta at the end, everything was delicious including: caprese and prosciutto & buffalo mozzarella salads, baked gnocchi and Chicken Milanese. Noise level very low, chairs slightly uncomfortable. Di Gusto is a gem. We shall return!

The quality of the food at this restaurant is far superior to any Italian restaurant in Naples. Don’t let the fact that it’s not on fifth Avenue, or in the Mercato, persuade you against trying this restaurant. It was truly as close to being in a restaurant in Italy as you can get. I had the homemade spaghetti and clams and felt as if I was eating at a sea side restaurant in Sorrento. I highly recommend this restaurant to anybody who loves and appreciates true, authentic, Italian food.

We enjoyed our meal at di Gusto. We had the polenta and bolonese sauce and the carpaccio for apps. We had the salmon, the lasagna, the carbonara, and the stuffed pepper. Of these, the polenta and the lasagna were the best. If we were to criticize, the pepper could have used a sauce. While the pepper and meat were cooked very well, overall, the dish was a little dry and could have used a sauce. The carbonara, too, was a little dry, but with excellent flavor. Overall, it was a very nice meal. We would not hesitate to come back for another experience.

Chef Monica does an amazing job at creating her tasteful pasta dishes. We love coming for dinner and look forward to many more dinners at Di Gusto!Great experience Roberto and
Wow!! Visited this family-owned hidden gem off Tamiami Trail and loved the authentic Italian experience. We originally planned to get takeout but thankfully changed our mind and dined-in. The Italian wine, food, and even the homemade bread were all delicious -- the carbonara was a standout. Excellent and warm service by our waiter who is the chef's son. Our new fave Italian spot in Naples -- we'll definitely be back.
