Gusto Italian Grill rebrands as Gusto Farm to Street in Silver Spring (Photos)

Not long after celebrating its first anniversary in downtown Bethesda and Silver Spring, Gusto Italian Grill has shortened its name to Gusto, with the addition of the phrase "Farm to Street." The changes have been underway for weeks online and in advertising materials, but yesterday new signage was installed to make it official.

During this fall, Gusto has added a number of new menu items, including a cauliflower crust pizza and new salads. They also pulled off an impressive win in the North Bethesda Market tomato sauce contest.

On Saturday, December 17, Santa Claus will stop by for lunch at the Silver Spring location, and dinner at the Bethesda Gusto. There will be free candy canes, and kids will eat free with the purchase of an adult entree.
