    Tramonto Salad
    Romelia R.

    Everything was so fresh! A great lunch option with a variety of sandwiches, pizzas, and a couple of salads. Service was welcoming and friendly. You order at the counter and have the option to sit at a high top in front of the window, a few regular tables, or outside. The bread on all sandwiches was so fluffy but toasty on the outside. La Nonna - meatballs, eggplant, and mozzarella. The sauce on this sandwich was incredible. The meatball to eggplant ratio was perfect and the melted cheese brought it all together. California - a solid turkey avocado sandwich. Lucca - the burrata overpowered the sandwich and the ratio to the salame was not up to par but the caramelized onions made up for it. Margherita Pizza Slice - bread had a good crunch to it but was still soft. Sauce, cheese, and basil ratio was on point. Tramonto Salad - the lemon thyme vinaigrette brought this arugula salad all together. You can also build your own sandwich and they have a lot of great spreads and meats to pick from.

    Came here for the first time on 4/9/26 for a casual girl dinner with my high school best friends! I got the Toscana and omg it was so delish! Very huge portion of the sandwiches, I was full from eating one half! Still happy I had the other half to save for the next day for lunch hehe. Somewhat small place but decent amount of seating to sit down and eat. The servers were very nice as well and were helpful when asked questions! Definitely coming back again! :)

    Really cute Italian shop. Lots of pizza and sandwich options. Lasagne also really good. Seating inside or out

    Gusto Mia is a small sandwich shop with a charming wall of Italian shelf-stable groceries. We ordered 2 sandwiches: - Toscana (stracciatella, arugula, prosciutto, truffle honey on toasted focaccia) -- This one was the better one. The stracciatella (that soft interior of burrata) is my favorite, but fair warning: it's messy and the honey gets everywhere. I'll probably get extra prosciutto next - Picante (spicy salami, mozz, spread, arugula, jalapeño honey + added prosciutto) -- Despite the name, not spicy at all. We weren't fans of this one, would definitely try a different sandwich next time. A few things: They had flatbreads sitting out that looked like they'd been there a while...a little cold and unappetizing on display. Hopefully they get heated up before serving. And their sandwiches are quite bland. They're fresh and simple- not super saucy and savory. Add spreads and sauces if that's what you're looking for- or create your own. Overall- yes, they're pricey. But if you're craving a proper Italian sandwich done right, this hits the spot. Come hungry and grab napkins!

    I've gotta say I've been wanting to try Gusto Mio for awhile now. I'm so happy we did last night. The food is absolutely outstanding. We will definitely go back to try a sandwich and something else. The service was off the chart too so friendly and welcoming. +

    AH MAZING!! I cannot wait to go back and try something else! Pizza and a different kind of sandwhich is really on the agenda for the next time! The staff was nice, the food 10/10 and the restaurant small and intimate!

    You know it's good when you can't wait for the camera to eat first. Love this spot. Consistently delicious and unpretentious vibes - always hits.

    We ordered lunch for the office & chose this place for Christmas lunch & the whole office LOVED it! The pizza was so big, my coworkers thought it was going to be a slice but it was a whole serving that you could share with a couple people. I got the lasagna and it was the best lasagna I EVER had! I still think about it. I wish they were able to be bought frozen I would definitely buy it monthly lmaooo! The service & staff were so sweet and accommodating so definitely have to dine in one of these days!

    Returned and tried two more (different) sandwiches than last visit: Trevi - a more rustic sandwich + has simpler flavors compared to other sandwiches. It's also the most moist out of the 4 sandwiches I've tried due to the porchetta. Toscana - quite sweet with the burrata truffle honey, but pairs well with the prosciutto. Takes away some of the saltiness compared to the other sandwich I had last time.

    We didn't like our pizza, hope you had a better experience
    Jack R.

    Gusto means "enjoyment or vigor in doing something" like eating pizza for example, unfortunately this pizza was anything but enjoyable. We ordered the Personal pizza since it would be cheaper to order than individual slices. Pepperoni and sausage on foccasia was such a let down. Think non tasty foccasia and runny bland sauce and meh toppings. We just felt like it was something you'd find at an abandoned strip mall. I'll give it 3 stars for the restaurant being clean and the service being prompt but we didn't like their pizza which is what they're known for.

    Pastrami focaccia sandwich $18
    Scott F.

    It's great to have a quick and casual place to get a really good sanwich, plus some quick tiramisu dessert options. 5/5: Pastrami focaccia sando $18: It is a full-on pastrami focaccia sandwich, plus it has chunks of eggplant, which are unecessary, but tasty nonetheless.

    Transported back to Italy with how delicious this place was! Came for dinner around 6 and it was empty, but seems they were getting lots of food delivery orders. Service was quick and the inside was clean. I had some questions about the menu and the lady working was very helpful. I decided on the Modena because I love anything with mortadella, my fiancé a build your own turkey sandwich with mozzarella, and we split a piece of sausage pizza. They hit it out of the park. Ingredients were fresh, flavors complemented each other and the focaccia was outstanding. The sausage pizza had just the right amount of sweetness with the peppers, it's really fantastic. We'll be back when we're in WC to try more of their menu!

    We recently came back from Italy and we had sandwiches just like the ones at gusto mio! Such a cozy and unique spot! We came on a Saturday like 2pm, it wasn't too crowded and we got out sandwiches pretty quick! Parking is a bit hard to find in the area. We got the pistachio cream sandwich and it tasted like the one we got in Italy. It was the perfect blend of cheese and meat. We also got gustosa which had truffle cream, prosciutto, arugula and stracietella cream, this whole combo was amazing. I honestly liked it more than the pistachio. The pizzas looked great but we didn't have a chance to try them. These sandwiches may look small but the focaccia is super crispy and fluffy and will fill you up. Total for 2 w/tax & tip: $39

    I see you have a gluten free option. Is it a focaccia pizza also? And is a small size considered a personal size pizza?

    The small size is huge. Enough for 2 ppl to share. It's 4 large rectangles that can easily be split into 8.

    I suppose there r no gluten free options for those of us cursed with celiac 😭?

Interior is interesting, it's like you're dining at someone's home? Street parking or there are lots nearby with the first hours or so free. Service was good  The Valentines prix consisted of an app, entree, and dessert, some of which are not on their regular menu!!  -bread and marinara (4/5): bread was great, thick slices and nice crust. Marinara was standard -potato-leek puree (4/5): came in a cute little cup to drink out of, good flavor -gamberoni (5/5): prawns were a good size and perfectly grilled. The sauce was a good addition -polette (4/5): meatballs were juicy and the pesto was flavorful and creamy. Interesting thing to have as an appetizer though -fettuccini carne (5/5): I always have an internal struggle about getting a red sauce or a cream sauce, so this was the perfect option as a creamy red sauce pasta. Serving size was good, and there was also plenty of meat and mushrooms, which I loved! Flavor was great! -lamp chop (4/5): good grilled flavor, but one was slightly too raw for our liking so we had to send it back to the kitchen to cook it some more. Our waitress was very understanding though! The mashed potatoes and veggies were also good. -tiramisu (3.5/5): good flavor, but there was wayyy more cream than ladyfinger, so the textural balance was off. And I love cream! -peanut butter chocolate brownie (4/5): really good but also pretty sweet. Loved how thick the whipped cream was, but didn't taste as much peanut butter as I would've liked Overall, I had a great experience for their valentines day prix menu.

We were promptly greeted by our server, Jess, who was "wonderful and lovely" as described by one member of our party. She gave us a quick review of off-menu specials and recommended we order before a party of 20 fully arrived. We didn't feel rushed and appreciated her looking out for us. The pace of our dinner moved along exactly as expected. Service (Jess, et al) is friendly, professional and timely. Members of the service staff moved in and out efficiently to refill water, remove plates and keep our table uncluttered. The dining room is busy and loud (or maybe we're old), so there was quite a bit of "what did you say" in our conversations, but it did not diminish the experience. The wine list provides a great selection to complement the menu without breaking the bank. Menu prices are in line with what we see these days - and the large portions make dining here a great value. Our table ordered Pollo Scallopini, Vitello (veal) Scallopini, Melanzane (eggplant) Parmigiana, and the off-menu special Salmon Piccata. Everything was excellent. The veal was a big hit with the table. Strongly recommend making a reservation. Looks like they do a good job with larger parties without impacting smaller tables and couples.

The chop was pounded thin and had a crispy texture to it (yum). It was covered in demi-glace and mushrooms, just delicious. Overall, great experience. Highly recommend.

Observations: 1) The place is very small. They sit you outside in a very windy alley. The food gets cold within 5min or so. Heaters don't help that much. 2) When you make a reservation on OpenTable you choose "Standard seating" - it doesn't mean inside. Inside capacity is about 50 or so ppl with 10 or so by the bar. So capacity is very limited. 3) We ordered lemonade for kids. They serve it in short glasses filled with ice to the brim (despite our ask for "no ice"), effectively reducing the liquid volume. We paid $35 for lemonade. 4) Food is very uneventful, nothing was remarkable. Their gnocchi with meat resembled Chef Boyardee from back in college times. Not sure why this place felt so pretentious with really no substance to back it. With so many options around like Montecatini, Doppio Zero, Benvenuti, La Fontaine, etc, not sure how they are still in business. Definitely not recommended for families, and have a hard time figuring out what audience they cater to.

Our waiter left us sitting for very long periods of time between courses, and we actually had to flag down another server to get the check. For my part, I expected better than the food I received. My husband and I split the chopped Italian salad, which we both agreed was rather flavorless and definitely underdressed. I ended up pouring some of the oil and balsamic vinegar from the bread dipping plate into the salad, which made it a little better. I ordered the Tuesday Trio which was a sampling of three supposedly popular pasta dishes. The Tagliatelle with Ragu was OK but a little dry. The corkscrew pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and pesto cream sauce was actually quite good, but my biggest disappointment was their rigatoni à la vodka, which is one of my favorite dishes. This restaurant's version was heavily flavored with smoky bacon, which, in my opinion really drowned out the lightness of a creamy vodka sauce. It was also pretty salty - I couldn't really eat it. However, my husband's Pollo de Toscana was delicious. Overall, I was unimpressed. I know there are better Italian places out there. Probably won't be back.

    Tomatina of Walnut Creek was unfortunately a disappointment…read more My spouse and I came to Walnut Creek with plans to grab dinner. We originally planned to grab boba and eat at a different restaurant but when we parked the smell in the air called us to Tomatina instead. We originally came in and the older gentleman said they couldn't seat us right away and to come back in 20 minutes. We didn't mind and took a walk around the block and was seated right away when we returned and he brought us menus. A waiter came and was friendly, making sure he got the order correct. It seemed like he may have been in training. We decided to each get a lemonade, share the meatball appetizer, I ordered the pasta trio and my husband ordered the chicken parmesan. The meal started out nice with the drinks immediately coming out and the appetizer shortly after. The drinks were good, however they were out of pint glasses and came in a collins glass instead. The waiter mentioned the lack of pints and the smaller glass calling it fancy but didn't reference if we'd get a discount or a refill due to the smaller portion as a result of the glass switch. The meatballs were tender and had a good flavor. The sauce was nice and the bread was serviceable. After we finished our appetizer, there was a lack in service for at least 15 minutes. They did not clear the dirty dishes, offer water, or provide any type of check in. While we waited, my spouse had noticed a pasta entree (and a salad) was put up and was placed on top of a pizza box. He didnt think much of it until we started to realize we had been waiting longer than felt appropriate and noticed it was 3 different colors, like you'd expect for a pasta trio like I had ordered. Eventually the pasta was removed and we gave the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't my food that had been sitting out for at at least 10 minutes and they were just slow. A few minutes later, a waitress brought our entrees and they finally cleared the appetizer plates. I took my first bite and my food was cold. Not it cooled down but was still kinda warm, any food that was exposed to air was physically cold to the touch. My husband tried to flag the waitress down that delivered the food and her and another worker were talking and looking at their register with no awareness of the rest of the room. Given the service thus far, I just got up with the food and walked it over. I explained it was cold to the point where I said she could touch it (I proceeded to touch a noodle) and it's obviously too cold to be served. She apologized and said she talk the the cook/chef. My spouse watched as she went with my cold plate to the open kitchen and it was clear that she explained I said it was cold but they were not planning on remaking it and just reheating it. A trio of pastas with 3 different sauces would not be reheated in a pan so the assumption is there would be a microwave involved. My spouse got up and approached the cook and waitress that reheating the pasta was unacceptable because if we wanted reheated pasta, we could get something from a freezer section grocery store. At this point the waitress seemed shocked that we'd say anything about them choosing to just reheat the food. After a few more remarks they finally said that they'd remake my food. But that'd mean I had to wait while my spouse ate or my husband would wait and then their food was cold when we eat together. At this point, the service was so bad and they made it fell like we were inconveniencing them by wanting at least warm food, my spouse said we just wanted to settle up and leave. Again it took them a minute to process that we didn't want to stay there anymore and eventually said we could just leave. We left and have no plans on returning. I would consider trying a different location since it's a chain, but I will not be back to the Walnut Creek location. I give Tomatina a very generous 2 stars for the service at the very start of the night and the flavor of the meatballs.
