The atmosphere here is excellent — warm lighting, a clean setup, and a relaxing vibe that captures the charm of a cozy Italian spot with a beautiful sea view. The environment alone, paired with an impressive wine selection, makes it worth a visit.
Customer service was moderate. The staff were polite, but attentiveness was lacking. We were left waiting outside for about 15–20 minutes — a noticeable miss, especially considering the restaurant was roughly 80% empty. There were also minor delays with refills and an awkward seating arrangement, though nothing too disruptive.
The food itself was hit or miss. Some courses were flavorful and thoughtfully prepared, while others felt rushed in execution or uneven in portion and presentation. We ordered the tasting menu for two, which was both expensive and lengthy — stretching over two hours. While the concept was creative, the pacing and overall delivery didn’t quite match the elegance the setting suggested.
Overall, this restaurant shines in atmosphere and ambiance, but there’s room for improvement in service and culinary consistency. It’s a lovely spot to enjoy a glass of wine and the view, best suited for a relaxed evening rather than a fine-dining experience.

A serendipitous find while having a family trip in Rhode Island.
Having access to many fine Italian restaurant in New York City and having tasted many of the best Italian restaurants throughout the world, I am amazed to find a restaurant of high comparable caliber here in Rhode Island.
The uni beef tartare was some of the finest I’ve ever had and all of their pasta dishes were perfectly cooked and delicious par to some of the best Italian dishes I’ve had in my life.

Nicely curated Italian restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining options. The chef’s choice 7 course dinner is a wonderful option. Impressive wine list compliments the food. The pasta was perfectly seasoned. The salmon was also very good. Terrific service as well.

We accidentally stumbled across the restaurant while taking a walk and went in to try. The menu is small but the staff explain the menu well if needed. We got a simple marinara pasta and mafaldine (lobster pasta). Both of them were very yum and seemed fresh. The marinara sauce is amazing. They were able to give a coloring set for my kid which helped. We had a good experience there!

Gusto is hands-down my favorite restaurant in Newport. Michelle is an incredible server; warm, welcoming, and so knowledgeable about everything she serves. She truly makes the experience special every time. I can’t wait to come back again very soon.

we had an incredible dining experience from beginning to end. giusto is absolutely worth they hype, and deserved of every praise and accolade.
tip: ideally secure a reservation as far in advance as possible, but you’re like us, and your dinner plans came together that afternoon, call and get on the waitlist to be notified if a seat opens.
we arrived at 8, and were able to secure a 9:15 seat, while we waited at the bar, standing for 10 mins before bar seats opened, and we ended up just having our meal there, which was an excellent experience.
nick our bartender was amazing, the food was beyond. top tier, i had the duck confit, and she had the buscatini, we had the croquettes to start, and ended with the olive oil cake and salted caramel gelato, oh and a negroni or 3, all were phenomenal choices.
can’t go wrong here ever! will be back!

I had my wedding rehearsal dinner at Giusto and it was unreal! We worked with Stacy who was so sweet and amazing to work with! She truly had everything under control and we didn’t have to worry about the thing. Now let’s talk about the food…THE MOST AMAZING. From the raw bar to the apps, to the multiple courses, to the dessert, everything was UNREAL. Every single one of our guests said it’s not only the best rehearsal dinner food they’ve ever had but some of the best food they’ve ever had. There was more than enough food for everyone and the space was beautiful! They even had a microphone for speeches. We truly had the most amazing rehearsal dinner at Giusto! And thank you to Stacy for everything!! We have also now dined there so many times and it’s become our favorite restaurant in Newport/all of Rhode Island 🙂

Everything about this place was an absolute 10/10, from the minute we stepped to the host stand to when we finalized our check. All of the staff was incredibly attentive, helpful, and went over the top to make sure we had a great experience. Our servers/food runners were great, the one server that stood out was Hope. She was friendly, funny, and overall created the best environment for our time there. All, and i mean ALL, of the food and drinks were AMAZING. Even the most unique & strange flavor combinations I was pleasantly surprised by; for example the capresi martini. I’ve truly never had anything like it. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I have ever had.

Absolutely fabulous. We live just outside Washington DC and have a few Michelin-star restaurants. Giusto is better. We had the Black Bass Crudo with kiwi and yuzu (amazing), the Japanese Eggplant, fruit di mare Bucatini and the Mushroom Agnolotti (wow), followed by the Coconut Lime dessert – all with a great Italian white wine. An amazing experience, with fabulous service a wonderful view of Newport harbor. Thank you, Chef and all the staff at Giusto!
