Encinitas, CA Restaurants – Gusto Trattoria Italian

Categories: Encinitas, Restaurants

Encinitas, CA – Mike and I really enjoy a great date night. As a Realtor and Financial Advisor respectively, our lives have been busy and stressful over the past year – with many ups and downs to the business. A local Encinitas restaurant recently came VERY highly recommended by some business associates.

Gusto Trattoria is a small, quaint restaurant on Encinitas Boulevard in the shopping center with the newer Smart and Final. It is almost immediately behind Coco’s. The inside of the restaurant is quiet, and simple. The outside patio seems like its own little world, lit with white lights through the trees and shrubs around you.

The Gusto Trattoria Menu (and food) is AMAZING and very reasonably priced. The portion sizes are generous. Gusto Trattoria prides themselves on making all the sauces, dressings, and breads completely fresh. The fluffy italian bread was good – the sun dried tomato tapenade that came with it was AWESOME!

On their website, Gusto Trattoria posts their weekly ads/specials. On our visit, they were offering 20% off the food bill, a free bruschetta appetizer, or half off a bottle of wine. We had a bottle of Orfila Sangoivese for $17 – SUBSTANTIALLY less than you would pay to buy the bottle of wine in the local winery.

You have probably driven by Gusto Trattoria many times in the past without ever noticing it, but we do have to tell you, it is really a wonderful local restaurant. Erwin, the owner, will stop by your table and ask about your meal and your experience. I always like that touch. If you are looking for a great little restaurant with good prices, fabulous food, and just a wonderful environment, try Gusto Trattoria. It was a lovely little date night!
