One Perfect Meal: Gran Gusto
by Boston Magazine | March 2010
“This month’s no-fail feast? Three courses of authentic Neapolitan-style eats—including one of the wood-fired thin-crust pizzas that have helped earned this hole-in-the-wall trattoria rave reviews—all washed down with a glass of house red. 90 Sherman St., Cambridge, 617-441-0400″
Gran Gusto and Chef Castellano have been nominated for the award as The Boston Phoenix’s “Best Pizza for 2010″! Now, instead of the winner being decided by the editors, they want to know what YOU think. So if you have a real passion for pizza, like we do, please vote for us! Grazie!

“Gran Gusto Is this Cambridge or Naples? The pizza is cooked in a brick oven, the crust thin and crispy, rich little islands of bufala mozzarella studding the bright, fresh sauce.”
“Primo from Big Night” Award for Dogged Commitment to Authenticity

“Chef Giuseppe Castellano of Gran Gusto (90 Sherman Street, Cambridge, 617.441.0400) deserves this award for refusing to overload his wood-oven thin-crust pizzas.”

“Tucked away in Cambridge’s Huron Village, this Italian restaurant has a cult following for its pizza marguerite, a thin Neapolitan-style crust pie topped with buffalo milk mozzarella and a wicked homeade tomato sauce.”
‘“Best pizza” is an inherently controversial topic even without inviting New Yorkers, Chicagoans, New Havenites, or other folks with nostalgia-tinged regional biases to the discussion. But for lovers of the thin-crusted Neapolitan style, the pizza margherita served at Gran Gusto (90 Sherman Street, Cambridge, 617.441.0400) is classic in construction…’

‘“Where can I find great Neapolitan pizza?” One answer is Trattoria Gran Gusto, a three-month-old Cambridge restaurant with casual, rustic décor and an authentic take on the cuisine of Naples — not coincidentally the owner’s birthplace.’
