The story
In the heart of Spello, on Piazza Giacomo Matteotti, Gusto Bistrot earns a 4.5-star rating for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and honest Umbrian cooking. According to creator JustUs, it’s a bistrot with craft beers, traditional homemade dishes, and “incredibly kind owners.” They found the food “all top-notch” and the price very fair for the quality—a clear local-spot balancing authenticity with value.
The menu leans on regional classics. Standouts include the Strangozzi al Tartufo, a truffle pasta, and Maialino Porchettato, a porchetta-style pork. The Torta al Testo con Prosciutto—a flatbread with ham—and the Birra Artigianale al Sacrantino craft beer show the range. Even the Scaccia Diavoli Rosé and Barricata grappa round out a meal that feels both casual and deeply rooted in place.

Bruschette
They brought us some bruschettas with three toppings: tomato and basil, truffle, and guanciale with balsamic vinegar. The bread is fantastic, really good. A perfect start to the meal.
Tagliere dei Salumi
The cured meat platter is a must, all from around here. It has prosciutto, salame, capocollo, and more. Fantastic.
Torta al Testo con Prosciutto
The torta al testo is hot, just out, with prosciutto. It's incredible, the heat is its death. Perfect texture, soft. Amazing.
Strangozzi al Tartufo
Hand-made pasta, I can tell from the fork. You can see it a mile away – all different sizes. The truffle sauce is delicious. Spectacular. This is how you make strangozzi al tartufo.
Lasagna
I had a craving for lasagna, well made, really well made. Both first courses were truly top-notch. The lasagna was perfect.
