Our Mission
“When I think about creating authentic Italian cuisine, the words that come to mind are "homemade, seasonal, and traditional." My family, upbringing, and where I was born and raised have greatly inspired my culinary style. My town of origin, Monte di Procida (a small coastal town in Naples) has always been synonymous with the natural culinary resources that the land and sea have to offer. The freshness and genuineness of the ingredients, the smells and tastes of homemade dishes made from recipes that have been handed down for generations; all of which enforced my family’s belief that good food is created from simple, healthy ingredients and done so with passion, love, and hard work. I continue to hold that belief to this day. My restaurant, Gusto, demonstrates all of these qualities in our traditional and authentic Italian cuisine while adding the innovation and avant-garde of today's Italy. At Gusto, all of our ingredients are thoughtfully selected and imported from Italy, using only the best quality ingredients available. All of our pasta, bread, mozzarella, and stracciatella are made in-house following traditional Italian recipes, with the ingredients we import from Italy. We also use seasonal organic produce in our dishes. The menu is characteristic of Italy; the separate courses, the portion sizes, and the combination of the ingredients. The menu is changed every 2 months to offer our guests fresh, seasonal dishes.”
Chef Andrea Esposito

What does Gusto mean?
In Italian, the word for ‘taste’ is ‘gusto’. We chose this name because Gusto Ristorante Italiano BYOB can be seen as "A Taste of Italy," offering the true taste of the foods, desserts, and beverages that can be found in Italy today, with their quality ingredients and authenticity.

What do you mean by ‘authentic Italian’?
In the USA, there is a big misconception about the Italian cuisine. What is referred to as “Italian” food in the USA is actually Italian- American. The Italian-American cuisine, although inspired by true Italian cuisine, is much different in comparison and it is not what is made or served in any part of Italy. It’s what has evolved from the recipes of the Italians who immigrated to the USA in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Gusto’s menu is designed to allow you to experience Italy’s true cuisine without having to make the trip; we want you to feel like you are enjoying a meal in Italy every time you dine with us. Every dish we serve replicates the authentic taste of traditional recipes from Italy.

What makes the ingredients you use ‘quality ingredients’?
All the ingredients are thoughtfully selected and imported from Italy; only the best of the Italian market. All these items are grown, produced, and packaged in Italy and are not identical to the items sold on the American market under the same name. All of them are DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta/ Protected Designation of Origin) and IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta). What cannot be imported, we make in-house every morning using the ingredients we import from Italy. This includes our entire selection of pasta which is cooked to order al dente, as well as our bread, meatballs, mozzarella, and stracciatella following Italian recipes for an authentic and traditional taste.
Our seafood selection and organic vegetables are always fresh and seasonal. In order to guarantee this, we change the menu every two months utilizing only what the current season offers, following Italian recipes consistent with the Italian holidays and traditions.

Can you explain your menu structure and portion sizes?
The menu is designed to offer an authentic Italian experience even in following the Italian meal structure which is an antipasto (appetizer) as starter, a primo piatto (first course) of pasta, a secondo piatto (second course) of protein, and a contorno (side dish). For each course, we serve the same portion sizes as you would be served in homes and restaurants throughout Italy. The portion size of each dish is very exact. This is because it follows the idea that you will have multiple courses, allowing you to enjoy your entire meal.

Pranzo is a celebration of authentic Italian food.

The family-run deli & trattoria is located in the heart of Whitley Bay, offering Italian tapas, pasta, pizza and street food in the restaurant, on the alfresco terrace or as take away.

Open throughout the day and evening, Pranzo works closely with local producers, as well as speciality Italian artisans, to create a menu that can be enjoyed by all of the family. The wine list is sourced directly from Italian vineyards featuring classics such as Vermentino Toscano, Chianti Classico , Aglianico Porconero and Cannonau Dolinova.

Tuscan-born, Pablo, has spent over 20 years in the food and wine industry in Italy and here in the North East. Together with his wife Louise, they have created Pranzo to showcase mouth-watering family recipes using the highest quality ingredients. Pablo and Louise’s vision for Pranzo is to create a casual and friendly space, where authentic Italian cuisine can be enjoyed with family and friends.

La Storia dello Chef

Dino is geboren in de Zuid-Italiaanse streek Salento, waar veel gerechten van Il Fiore zijn oorsprong vinden. Als kind stond hij al met veel liefde in de keuken terwijl hij zijn moeder hielp bij het maken van verse pasta’s.

Toen Dino op zijn dertiende naar Maasmechelen verhuisde, werd hij de buurjongen van zijn toekomstige echtgenote Diana Pani. Diana, wiens familie afkomstig is uit het zonnige Sardinië, deelde zijn liefde voor pure ingrediënten en gerechten.

In de woorden van Dino: “Wij doen niet aan confusion cooking.” 26 jaar na hun trouwdag staan de jeugdliefdes nog altijd met dezelfde hartstocht in de keuken.

Hun warmte en gastvrijheid is binnen Maastricht ongeëvenaard en laat gasten even het gevoel van Zuid-Italië proeven. Dino en Diana zijn het hart van Il Fiore.

Special Pizza nasce il 21 Aprile del 2011, dopo un esperienza di 10 anni lavorativi presso un attività familiare da noi gestita. Un lavoro nato semplicemente da una grande passione per la cucina e da tanta voglia di crescere professionalmente

In Italia da oltre cento anni di tradizione nel settore dell'arte bianca nasce, nel lontano 1990 la PIZZA CROCCANTINA® dall'esigenza di ottenere una pizza leggera, fragrante , gustoso al palato con una discreta conservazione senza l'aggiunta di conservanti.

Dai sacrifici, le nottate in bianco passate a sperimentare e miscelare ingredienti e passione, nasce cosi, grazie all'ingrediente segreto, l'AMORE per la farina, questa fantasctica pizza che tiene il mercato degli snack da quasi 30 anni.

Il nostro lavoro , la dedizione,viene appagata nello stupore della faccia dei consumatori al primo assaggio, che sgranano gli occhi colpiti dal sapore del nostro prodotto.

Lavoriamo con materie prime solo di ottima qualità che ci garantiscono la costanza e il successo del prodotto.Da ormai quasi 20 Anni produciamo una linea con igredienti proveniente da AGRICOLTURA BIOLOGICA, e ci stiamo adoperando per ottenere la certificazione kosher.

La nostra eccellenza italiana , ormai riconsciuta dal 2016 con numero di certificazione 4669 al registro delle ECCELLENZE ITALIANE è esportato in BEGLIO, OLANDA, FRANCIA e GERMANIA, in espansione verso POLONIA , ROMANIA, SEVZIA....; ogni mercato viene attentamente valutato dal nostro ufficio estero, l'esigenza e il packaging migliore da introdurre nel mercato stesso.

La vostra soddisfazione è il nostro obbiettivo piu Grande!
