Home Slice A locally…read moreowned Italian restaurant that's been in operation in Seaside for over ten years (ca. 2015). Gusto is one of the few truly scratch-made Italian restaurants that specializes not only in pizza, pasta, and sauces, but also features an old-school brick, wood-fired pizza oven. Hell, they even make their own mozzarella! They have not only caught the eye of locals and Yelpers, but have also managed to earn a recommendation in the current Michelin Guide. The Good: * Private parking lot, as well as street parking. * Fabulous service from Alex! * Prices are very reasonable considering the food quality. * Local beers on tap. * Strawberry Prosciutto Salad (seasonal special) was fantastic! Who knew strawberries paired so perfectly with salty, cured prosciutto and pistachios? This might not be on the menu all the time, but if you see it, get it! * Complimentary focaccia was unbelievably soft and delicious. As if it couldn't get any better, their olive tapenade served alongside it was equally delicious, making for an unbeatable duo. * The Margherita pizza is the ultimate test of a pizza restaurant--and they passed with flying colors! It's so simple that if something isn't right, it'll be easy to spot, but everything from the homemade mozz to the slightly charred crust and the delicious sauce made this the perfect pie. I give it a score of 3.14159265359...! The Meh: * Meatballs were a touch too tough and could've been a bit more tender. They were still fuçking delicious, so honestly, who cares? The Ugly: * Despite the name, Seaside isn't the most glorious place, and this location is downright sus AF. Conclusion: Maybe one of the best meals so far of 2026. If you have any doubts about coming here, relieve yourself of them and get down here posthaste.

Wow!! Did not expect to find authentic home made Russian food in our own backyard. We used to eat…read moreRussian cuisine more living in LA, but being back north, it has been hard to find good places. I might even say that Mama Sofia's food surpasses some of the food we've had in restaurants. We picked up from their home in a quaint neighborhood - it took a minute to wait for the food to be packed up to take home, but it was worth the wait, as most of it was still warm from just being prepared. A couple recommendations on what to get: eggplant/tahini dip, borscht (perfect flavoring and ratio of beets/cabbage to soup), blinchiki (beef, chicken), pastry with cream cheese and strawberry jam (but make sure you have people to share this with!)

The reservation…read moreprocess requires booking online with a $25 per person hold, which is refunded the day after you complete your reservation. Our server was amazing--very attentive and friendly, especially considering there were only two servers working that night. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, with about 10-12 tables filled (roughly half the restaurant). There were also four people working in the open chef's kitchen area. When we asked which one was the head chef, we were told he had taken the day off since it wasn't very busy. We ordered the milk bread, beet salad, wagyu, chicken, and swordfish. The milk bread was slightly burnt on the bottom, but the inside was soft and pleasant. The beet salad, however, was incredible--beautifully presented and every bite was delicious. It was definitely one of the highlights of the meal. For the entrées, the swordfish was the clear winner, followed by the chicken. The wagyu, unfortunately, was disappointing. We asked and were recommended medium rare, but it arrived closer to medium well. It ended up being chewy and tough, which was surprising given the quality you would expect. To their credit, they did offer us a complimentary tiramisu. It was a very generous portion and the friend who was able to eat it said it was quite good, though only one person in our group could enjoy it due to dietary restrictions. Overall, the ambience was nice and the service was wonderful, but for a Michelin-rated restaurant I would expect more consistency--even on a night when the head chef isn't present. I'm not sure if I would return, but I did truly appreciate the great service and welcoming atmosphere.

The pork was soft and juicy with a few crunchy edges, the carrots were tangy, the bread was fresh and not tough and kept good balance with the amount of sandwich filling.

The guys behind the counter were attentive hosts.

I had high hopes for this place based on the strong reviews, but unfortunately it didn't live up to…read moreexpectations. I stopped in for lunch and ordered a couple of sandwiches to go, thinking it would be a good way to try the food before committing to a larger purchase like steaks, pasta, or other items from the shop. The sandwiches came out to $42 for two, which felt pretty steep. While I waited, I looked around the store at some of the other products, but nothing really stood out to me, and the service felt a bit underwhelming. The sandwiches themselves were just okay--nothing particularly memorable for the price. A few hours later my stomach also felt a bit uneasy, which didn't leave the best impression. Overall, the experience fell short of what I was expecting. Perhaps I just caught them on an off day, but based on this visit, I probably won't be returning.

I got the Pork Belly Fried Rice and it was amazing. The pork belly was tender and came with a sour vinegar sauce that paired perfectly with it. Ask for extra sauce. My wife got the Lemon Curd Pancakes and we shared Marciana's Breakfast Fried Rice. Both were excellent. The lumpia was a little greasy, but still tasty. My daughter got the pancakes and immediately gave them a thumbs up. By the end of breakfast, both my wife and daughter were giving me kudos for picking the spot. Doesn't happen often, so I'll take the win. Great food, great service, and the perfect way to end our trip before the drive home. We'll definitely be back.

The food here is a fusion between Filipino type ingredients and American breakfast. Those familiar enough with Filipino food has to know that it is going to be oily, salty, sweet, heavy, and rich in flavor. That's exactly what we got.

None the less we enjoy this place.

You can tell they really care about their customers and their food. The menu had so many amazing sounding options that we couldn't decide... so we didn't, we ordered three different pizzas and I'm so glad we did! Every single one was fantastic. The Sophia was a dream if you love white sauce pizza -- creamy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced without being too heavy. The Golden State was one of the most unique pizzas I've had in the best way possible. Every bite had something interesting going on and who knew pizza and potatoes just work so well together. But the absolute star for me was the special "La Bomba." WOW. The Calabrian chili gave it the perfect kick and depth of flavor. It was bold, a little spicy, and completely addictive. I would honestly come back time and time again just for that pizza alone. They have a unique crust was perfectly cooked crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside -- and you can tell they use high quality ingredients. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully put together, not just thrown on a pie. The place itself has a great vibe, good service, and the staff makes the whole experience feel welcoming and fun. Whether you're dining in with friends or grabbing a pizza to go, this place checks every box: great service, creative menu, amazing flavor, and pizza you'll be thinking about long after you leave. Already looking forward to our next visit!
