About

Gusti Restaurant Equipment has been a longstanding provider of commercial kitchen products and restaurant supplies throughout Richmond, VA, and surrounding regions for over 25 years. The company was founded in 1992 by long-time Richmond food-service industry operator Joe Gusti, who brought decades of hands-on restaurant and hospitality experience to the business. Originally focused on serving local restaurateurs with quality equipment and advisory support, Gusti Restaurant Equipment grew into a full-service showroom and warehouse operation with a 30,000+ square-foot facility located at 1901 Dabney Road. The company stocks a broad inventory that includes commercial refrigeration, cooking equipment, prep tables, sinks, walk-ins, smallwares, tabletop items, restaurant furniture, and outdoor cooking gear — catering to both back-of-house and front-of-house needs. Over the years, Gusti has remained family-run, with Joe’s sons John Gusti (President) and Matt Gusti (Vice President) actively involved in operations. John oversees front-of-house sales and customer consultation, while Matt manages warehouse inventory and project support, blending a mix of industry knowledge and practical experience to assist clients on projects large and small. What sets Gusti apart is its combination of old-school customer service and modern retail offerings. The company helps restaurateurs, chains, hotels, churches, and even home chefs find equipment that fits both budget and operational needs, offering in-store browsing, personalized consultation, and installation services. Customers value the Gusti team’s hands-on approach, product knowledge, and commitment to practical solutions. Despite evolving industry trends, Gusti maintains its emphasis on relationship-driven sales and support, positioning it as a respected local partner for foodservice professionals. Their deep roots in the Richmond food community reinforce their reputation as a reliable resource for quality restaurant equipment and supplies.
