Gusto
1901 Fremont Blvd., Seaside (831) 899-5825, gustopizzeriapasta.com
When Gusto burst on the Seaside dining scene in 2015, the restaurant immediately established itself as the city’s go-to destination for fine dining, and it has held steady in that spot ever since. Both the handcrafted pizzas and pastas star – the toughest part about ordering is choosing between the two – and prices are down to Earth, despite the fact that some dishes, like the gnocchi, are sublime enough to be served in heaven.
