Gusto Napoletano Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria

Me and my coworkers went there for dinner after a long and stressful day, hoping to enjoy some authentic Italian food. However, the whole experience ended up being pretty underwhelming. During dinner, our very well-traveled group was reminded several times that it was a “European-style eatery,” as if that somehow put them on a higher moral ground compared to a typical U.S. restaurant. Anyway, back to the food. We ordered a few pizzas for the table. The dough was very doughy and slightly gooey, and the bottom wasn’t crispy at all. It honestly made me wonder if their pizza oven was even hot enough. I ordered the fettuccine Bolognese, which was overcooked to the point that I couldn’t even twirl the pasta it kept breaking. The sauce flavor was mild. The arancini was fried so long that the ou

As an Italian (born and raised), I can say with absolute confidence that this is the only place in Fayetteville that makes REAL italian food. If you come here expecting to eat gigantic portions of fettuccine Alfredo, pepperoni pizza or garlic bread dipped in butter, know that you will be disappointed. For that you can go to Olive Garden or all other restaurants cosplaying as “Italian” around here. But if you want to experience the real italian cuisine and especially Neapolitan pizza this is definitely the place! It is like a home away from home 🏡

Excellent. Best margherita pizza I ever had in my life. My family is from Naples & Calabria, and this is still the best I ever had in my life. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!! I went back a few days later & had margherita pizza with extra basil & arugula!! I live in FL & will be stopping every trip to & from NY!💝

The parking was convenient. Not sure what was better the service, food or prices. The service was beyond compare because I’ve never been spoken to in such a condescending way at a restaurant. Whether it was telling me (2 Italian Grandmas) how Italian food portions in Italy are not the troughs we get in America or scoffing at the question of whether I could get al-a-carte sausage or meatballs (no by the way) the service was consistent. Admittedly the 4 ounces of bolognese sauce tasted good but the 4 ravioli for $18 was a bit undercooked. When I asked for a knife to cut it I was expecting to be told they don’t use knives Italy because there were none on the table but yes they had them (yay). I should have known better but hoping I was on a roll made the mistake of asking for bread and butte

Delicious wood-fired pizza in a location you would never expect it. Service was excellent and pizza was among the best I've had - certainly better than any chain restaurant. I will make it a point to stop here when I'm in the area again.
