About Gusto Italiano
About Us
Founded in Calistoga, California - in the heart of Napa Valley’s wine country - Gusto Italiano has been sharing the true taste of Italy with American tables since 2017. As natives of Naples (Napoli), our passion for authentic Italian food, wine, and liqueur inspired us to create a direct bridge between Italy’s most beloved artisans and food lovers across the United States.
What started with handcrafted pasta and traditional Limoncello has grown into a curated selection of Italy’s finest specialties: sun-ripened Italian tomatoes, premium extra virgin olive oil, artisanal ketchup, regional sauces, and more. Every product is chosen to bring the real flavors of Italy into your kitchen.

The Art of Gragnano Pasta
Our signature line, Gusto Italiano Pasta, comes from Gragnano - known as La Capitale della Pasta (the Pasta Capital of the World). Nestled between the Monti Lattari mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, this UNESCO-recognized region offers the perfect microclimate for producing superior durum wheat pasta. The slow-drying and bronze-drawn methods create pasta with a firm bite, rich flavor, and sauce-gripping texture that elevates every dish.
Our Philosophy
Food and drink are more than nourishment - they are experiences to be shared. Our mission is simple: to bring people together around the table with authentic Italian products that spark joy, conversation, and connection. Whether it’s a family dinner, an aperitivo with friends, or a festive celebration, Gusto Italiano helps you savor the dolce vita.
