Gusto Grocery Italian Market

It's kind of funny how we run into things. I was leaving Costco on Morena after filling up on gas when I noticed a sign for an "Italian Market". When I did that "Google thing" I recognized the address. It was in the same business park as Rose Canyon Deli!

From what I could gather Gusto Grocery opened during Covid as a online store and has recently opened up what they call a "fulfillment center" and brick and mortar shop for folks who want to actually shop for "stuffs". In need for ingredients for my pesto chard, I decided to stop by instead of heading down to Little Italy and Mona Lisa for the Pesto Genovese that we like.

The actual shop is tiny; think half the size of Eurofood Depot. It's almost like a cubicle in size.

However, it is a cubicle stuffed with a nice variety of products with familiar names; like Bartolini, Rummo, San Giuolano, and Rigoni.

The location is quite interesting. It's actually located in the same structure as Rose Canyon Deli, just on the East side. There's ample parking and you can tell by the sign where the shop is.

Unfortunately, while they stock the Pesto we like, they were out.

Still, it's nice to not have to deal with the parking and such in Little Italy.

And while the selection of salumi and cheese looked rather small.

 I'm sure if you ordered online things would work out fine. And that guanciale looked really good.

I'm happy to have another option for specialized shopping.....close to home. Though the hours are rather limited, it looks like I won't have to go out of my way and struggle to find parking to get some of the Italian products we like.

Thanks for the tip, Kirk -- looks interesting! I noticed there are discount codes available if you order online then pick up in the store. Looks like a great alternative to doing the Little Italy thing, though the trolley has made the schlep much easier/less painful for us.

It is a nice alternative to going to Little Italy when you just need a single or a few items Peter!
