Piani per il 2026! Plans for 2026!

Ciao Famiglia Gusto!

First off, we’re on the lookout for a few new faces to join our Gusto family! We’re currently hiring for a chef and a baker to help us share more incredible creations with all of you. If you or someone you know might be a great fit, please send a resume and cover letter to gustoitaliancafe@gmail.com — we’d love to hear from you!

We’re also searching for the best interior designer in the Lakes Region (someone who knows Gusto and understands our heart) to help us refresh and rearrange our upstairs bar and seating area. We’re hoping to fine-tune the acoustics, add warmth, and make it feel like an effortless extension of the Gusto experience. If you have a recommendation (or are that person), please reach out!

And now for some truly wonderful news: thanks to you, our Gusto community, we’ve been named Best Coffee Shop in New Hampshire once again in the Best of NH competition! We’re beyond grateful for your votes, your visits, and your constant support. Every coffee & Milano is inspired by your friendship and encouragement!

Looking ahead, our 2026 Italy Club schedule is almost complete! Next year’s calendar will be filled with classes, dinners, and gatherings inspired by beloved Italian traditions — La Befana, la Pasqua, Ferragosto, Vendemmia, and La Notte del Tartufo to name a few — each one a reason to come together and celebrate the flavors and stories of Italy. Our first event will kick off in January 2026, so stay tuned for more details!

A quick note for this week: our upstairs will be closed for a private event this Thursday night, so if you’re planning to dine with us, please make your reservations in advance.

Then, on Halloween night, we’re bringing out the spooky spirit with live music and a 10% discount for anyone who joins us in full costume — we can’t wait to see what creative looks you come up with!

And finally, thank you for all the feedback about hosting monthly dance nights at Gusto! So many of you expressed your interest that we’re thrilled to announce we’ll be adding these lively evenings to our 2026 calendar. It’s going to be such an incredible year at Gusto!

Buon Appetito
