GUSTO CUCINA ITALIANA – Italian
Ten tables, a Sicilian chef, and no ambition to be anything larger. Gusto Cucina Italiana has been cooking dinner in Cape Coral since 2016, Chef Vincenzo at the stove and his wife at the door, which tells you most of what the evening will feel like. The menu is sauteed-to-order Italian: penne Borgetto, gypsy capellini, salmon in lemon butter, shrimp scampi, chicken parmigiana, fried mozzarella to start. Diners come back for the portions and for the sense of being looked after. Dinner only, Tuesday through Saturday. Book ahead, because there are not many seats.
