Gusto Italian Restaurant Reopens In Lower Southampton Twp.

LOWER SOUTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA —A little more than a month after a car crashed through its eatery, Gusto Feasterville - Ristorante Italiano is back in business.

The restaurant reopened this week after making repairs to the business at 430 W. Street Rd. In late October, a car crashed through its front after a woman lost control of her vehicle, fire officials said.

"I am so happy to be back," Chef/Owner Andrea Esposito told Patch. "Even though it was only for a month, I feel like we've been closed for way more."

No injuries were reported and fire officials did not provide any more details about the accident.

Esposito, who runs the restaurant with his wife Giuseppina, said that Gusto —which opened about a year ago —is a "dream that came true."

"Closing down for the accident was really sad, but now we are back, back to our mission to bring real authentic Italian cuisine here in the States," Esposito said.

He added that the restaurant is also working on a minimarket where it will sell special products imported from Italy for the holiday season and homemade products that can be preordered.
