Patricia Estorino

Chef / Owner

Gustazo Cuban Kitchen
Cambridge & Waltham

Patricia Estorino of Gustazo Cuban Kitchen (Cambridge and Waltham) is a 2024 James Beard Nominated Chef (Best Chef Northeast). She brings a colorful and imaginative twist to traditional gourmet Cuban cuisine.

Before she became a chef, Patricia Estorino was a professional dancer in Cuba. Maybe that explains her gift for melody, one that pays as many rewards on the plate as it would on a stage. At the Cambridge location of Gustazo, Estorino offers a robust expression of contemporary Cuban cuisine, from the sweet citrus of pepper- and pineapple-trimmed swordfish ceviche, to the silky richness of mariscada stew that bathes mussels, clams, shrimp, and scallops in coconut-milk-and-lobster broth. The Cambridge location also boasts a full bar program. It is a bustling and lively environment – a neighborhood favorite and perfect for a special night out!
