Gusto Napoletano Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria

Lily Lily a month ago

Gusto Napoletano is one of the best places in Fayetteville for traditional Neapolitan pizza! 🍕🇮🇹 Everything is fresh-made with quality ingredients and cooked in a traditional oven. Their Tuesday specials are especially delicious and offer a great variety. If you’ve recently been to Italy and are looking for pizza, this is it in Fayetteville! Give them a chance, you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend Gusto Napoletano! 👏🍕

The Atmosphere here is very welcoming … I’ll give them that. I unfortunately didn’t like my food. I ordered the Tuesday special of Gnocchi (2) they combined the orders into one container … which I wish they would have asked if that’s what I wanted. My Gnocchis were not soft like big pillows, instead they were small hard chewy and dense. I also was not a fan of the Sauce. I’m Italian and grew up with my Italian Mother making these on a regular basis … so I know good Gnocchi. My Son and I took 2 bites each … then I threw it in the Trash. I paid $30 for something not edible. For that price it should have included Bread or at the very least Plastic ware. I didn’t ask for a refund , I didn’t want to be met with the whole Authentic Italian thing … again I’m Italian… I know good Italian Food … this wasn’t it. I wish I would have paid by CC so I could dispute the charge. Oh well lesson learned.

I wish I could leave negative stars. Authentic Italian my behind. Dough was undercooked, Customer service was horrendous. Inside of the pizza dough was gooey and the outside was dryer than my great grammas last date night. Asked if they had basalmic vinegar and got an entire lecture on how thats not Italian and I should know better. I just wanted something that wasnt dry on my pizza. I guess I should've soaked it in ridiculous amount of olive oil they put on my 8$, 2 slices of "bruscetta" as an appetizer. Crazy the stale bread was less dry than my pizza. Extremely condescending as well. If you get off on being degraded, then go for it, otherwise, I dont reccomend. Yet they put hot honey on their pizza, when I asked about that, I was told " oh its a new trend in Italy" Coming from someone thats been all over Italy and spent most of my time in Naples, dont waste your time. Dont think ive ever walked away from an "Italian" restaurant feeling so disappointed. Below, tried to salvage it myself.

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 outside was almost dark brown, which makes me think they weren’t using the right oil temperature. Oh, and the bread… I don’t even know how to rate that. I’ve had better bread from Food Lion. I don’t want to get too deep into the portion sizes, but let’s just say they were not nearly enough for a dinner portion. I get it, it’s a “European-style” establishment but we’re in Fayetteville. And honestly
