In the heart of Town Square El Nido, Gusto Gelato + Bistro has carved out a delicious niche as the go-to spot for artisanal gelato, hearty bistro fare, and specialty coffee. Located along Calle Hama, it blends a modern, air-conditioned café atmosphere with laid-back island charm—making it a sought-after treat stop for both travelers and locals.

Step inside and you're met with more than ten freshly made gelato flavors ranging from classic pistachio to unique olive-oil-and-salt soft-serve—served in cups, cones, or as part of decadent crepes and waffles. Treat yourself to their signature Nutella Coconut waffle topped with banana, or the Nutella Mango and Peanut Butter options for an indulgent breakfast or sweet afternoon snack. And if you're in the mood for a little upgrade, add a Bailey's shot for just ₱80.

Gusto isn’t just for sweets. Their Italian-style coffee—brewed from a proper barista machine—is a standout, complemented by homemade fruit shakes and crepes that pair well with gelato scoops. The bistro menu extends into savory territory too, featuring dishes like beef brisket burgers and cocktails such as a well-made dirty martini. Friendly service, spotless interiors, and quick kitchen delivery make the experience consistently satisfying.

What makes Gusto even more appealing is its attention to detail. Guests can enjoy clean, comfortable seating with an upstairs option at Pangolin Bar if the main floor fills up. They accept credit cards, offer gluten-free gelato options, and accommodate walk-ins looking for a quick, indulgent escape from the heat.
