Gusto Café & Wine Bar

Here’s one more sign that Hopkins’ historic Mainstreet has become one hip stretch of sidewalk. Run by Chuck Venables, whose résumé boasts such flashy venues as Manny’s and Cosmos, Gusto’s grilled chicken panini with fontina, mussels with white wine and tomatoes, and gnocchi with brown butter and sage echo the standard of elegance he established in the big city earlier in his career. With satisfying food, a fine wine list, and a stylish dining room set in warm, earthy tones, Gusto adds a welcome dash of class to a street that boasts more (and better) entertainment than you’ll find at Block E. 922 Mainstreet, Hopkins; 952-945-9463
