Gusto’s Lasagna
Gusto Handcrafted Pasta & Pizza, 1901 Fremont Blvd., Seaside, (831) 899-5825, gustopizzeriapasta.com
Sometimes you need a big, warm, smothering Leo Buscaglia embrace. Or, better yet, its culinary version. Whether you just got dumped or just need comfort food on a rainy night, nothing says “It’ll be fine” like cheesy, saucy goodness. Gusto’s lasagna is like a warm hug. Light layers of locally made pasta are kissed with béchamel and tomato sauce, beef Bolognese and Parmesan. By some kind of magic, it’s both filling and light at the same time, wrapping your soul in a kind of food wizardry that only Italy can conjure.
