Gusto Italian Restaurant Closed In Lower Southampton Twp.

LOWER SOUTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA —Gusto Feasterville - Ristorante Italiano had a surprise dinner guest Saturday afternoon.

The Lower Southampton Township Fire Marshal said that emergency crews were called out at 2:43 p.m. Saturday for the report of a car crashing into a business.

That business happened to be the eatery on 430 W. Street Rd.

While no injuries were reported, the restaurant's chef and owner Andrea Esposito told Patch Monday morning that the business is probably going to be closed for two or three weeks to repair damage.

"Unfortunately, a car drove into the restaurant," Esposito said. "I guess the lady lost control of her car."

Fire officials did not provide any more information about the accident.

Esposito said the business closed for the rest of the day Saturday and was also closed Sunday.

"We do not know when we will be reopening because there are some damages to the restaurant that need to be fixed before we reopen," Esposito said.

The restaurant, which serves authentic Italian cuisine, opened a year ago.

"We want to thank all of you for the prayers and the support," Esposito said. "Thank God, nobody got injured. The driver of the car is fine, people on the sidewalk are fine, and our staff is fine. The accident happened when there were no clients in the restaurant. Unfortunately, we got bad damage in the dining room so we need to be closed until further notice."
