For us, Gusto has always been more than a festival. It was one special day a year when Joe got to work side by side with his dad, Mr. D. A day filled with family, food, laughter, and Mr. D singing in Italian for everyone to hear. He had a way of making everyone around him feel special, and somehow, when he was there, Gusto just felt a little more Italian.

Alongside him was Mr. Briga, another unforgettable part of the heart and soul of this tradition. Two men whose presence helped make Gusto feel like home. They may no longer be standing beside us, but anyone lucky enough to have experienced those days knows that a piece of them will always be there.

This year felt a little more special. Joe got to experience Gusto with HIS kids by his side, we got to welcome baby Briga into the Gusto family, and for a moment, everything felt beautifully full circle. Two families, another generation, still sharing the tradition they helped create.

We can only imagine Mr. D and Mr. Briga looking down, proud and smiling, knowing the bond between our families is still going strong. 🇮🇹❤️
