    The lovely ladies at Gusto Napolitano provide the friendliest service and their pizza is excellent. It had flavors from my second homecountry and the brick oven taste is delicious. I really don't know what was on this pineapple (mango?) cheesecake but it was one of the best desserts I've ever had...👌🇮🇹

    When we got there the owner was getting wood out of their car to bring inside and my husband offered to help her. She declined. We come in and have a seat and start looking at the menu. The woman inside was very nice. Owner comes in and asks if we have any questions. I said no and that I was thinking of getting the porky fig. She said oh that's a good seller. I said "yeah I like sweet and salty. I make a pizza at home that has the prosciutto, arugula and balsamic glaze on it." She went off saying they don't use that.That's it's a topping for rancid meat. We don't use that in Italian cooking. I tried to say that's okay I was just trying to say l like salty sweet. Both in my eyes would be salty sweet. (Prosciutto+fig jam, prosciutto+glaze). She wouldn't let me say anything. I just sat there looking down while she grilled me on why it's awful and rancid and tried not to cry. "We don't do sauces cuz it's not the Italian way. We don't have ranch or balsamic and that people leave all the time when I tell them that." It was intense for no reason. I say again "I'm not asking for you to change your pizza." I really just wanted to get up and leave at that point but just felt so awkward and trying not to cry. My husband and I sit in silence while waiting for the food and I try to collect myself. A little while after the food comes out she comes by and asks if we like it and says it's different huh? I'm like yep it's salty sweet. All in all the food was okay but won't be returning. Pizza was fine. Panini was very crunchy so if you have dentures or something I wouldn't recommend ordering. If She came off so strong and for what. To defend Italian cuisine against balsamic glaze. Like because I like something doesn't mean you have to serve it or like it. I really think it was a case of waiting to respond and not actively listening to what I was saying. Either way we won't be back. Got home and cried.

    The most italian thing is their margherita. She says she’s from Naples and “ the pizzas are all different everywhere “. I’ve sent this to my Napolitan family to make sure I’m not mistaken. NO WHERE IN NAPLES serves “pizza” like this. Other than that. The wine is fine and the “pizza” has enough salt to call it seasoned. If you get anything other than the margherita or marinara, make sure you ask for it to be made with sauce. *Reply* Had the customer service been better when i asked for sauce, maybe i would. Had you had enough customer service to ask what was wrong when I took a bite out of a single slice and didn’t want a box, maybe i would have. None of this added up to the traditional napolitan I’ve experienced in Napoli. The attitude wasn’t even the same. You had your nose turned up from the moment we requested something different from the menu. I’ve lived in Naples, been all up and down Italy and never have i asked per una diavola and received una pizza bianca con salamino. Your 1 star could have been a 5 had there been customer service

    I have worked at this restaurant for six months now, and I have to say that it is a wonderful experience! I have learned so much about Italian food! Chef Nadia is an amazing educator as well as a chef! And the food is delicious! Everything is fresh (I know, because I prep it!) and the ingredients are precise, meaning there are no substitutions to the authenticity of the pizza. And the wines are all hand picked for her restaurant straight from Italy. Definitely an experience you will never forget!

    My Bae (Chris) loves oven brick pizza and we stumbled across this little hidden gem. He and I have both been to Italy so we know how Italian pizza tastes. This place is definitely somewhere to go if you are looking for authentic Italian pizzas. The owner, Nadia, welcomed us and gave us great customer service. She explained that all the ingredients used are imported from Italy. She is also one of the few female certified Neopolitan pizza maker. She explained the process of becoming a certified pizza maker. She also said she’s been at this location for 2 years. I have lived in the Fayetteville area for 11 years and haven’t heard of this place. If it weren’t for Chris to want oven bricked pizza, I still wouldn’t haven’t tried this place. We ordered the margherita pizza, salami pizza fritta, rice balls, and a caprese salad. Everything was delicious. I then ordered a spinach fritta as everything tasted great. The deep fried fritta was flavorful and they even have a Nutella one that I am going to try the next time I go there. The margherita pizza was very simply made but it was packed with flavor. You can taste the love that is put into their food. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting authentic Italian pizza. Nadia also does pasta Tuesday’s which is different every week. She said to check out her Facebook and Instagram pages to see what is available that day. Please check them out if you are in the Harris Teeter area as they are right across from there. The name of the restaurant is Gusto (which in means “Like” in Filipino).
