Meet Our Team
Daniel Morin
Executive Chef
Chef Dan was raised in the restaurant industry and has been cooking since he was a kid. From brick oven pizzas to farm-to-table cuisine, his experience in the kitchen propels beautiful and creative dishes to please any palate. Dan joined the Gusto team in 2019 and has been an integral part of developing and refining the menus, cultivating impeccable tastings for private wine dinners, and pleasing regular guests with their favorite dishes. Dan wholeheartedly shares his passion for the culinary world by being in the moment and teaching his kitchen crew everything he knows – to him, that is the most rewarding part of being a chef. When this 6’7” ex-football player isn’t in the kitchen he is playing music, going to shows, or reading cookbooks cover-to-cover.
Ethan Murphy
Manager
Ethan began his career cooking in fine dining and high-volume kitchens where he thoroughly learned the fundamentals of curating an exceptional culinary experience. After gaining extensive experience in positions ranging from grill cook, garde manger, sous chef, and baker, he turned his focus to front-of-house operations as a server, bartender, maître d, and restaurant manager. For the past 15 years, he has refined those skills throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn in world-class institutions like Russ & Daughters and cutting-edge new brands like Eataly. Even when he is not on the clock, Ethan is passionate about volunteering his time to food outreach programs that focus on relief in times of need. He sincerely loves uniting community through the rituals of food and beverage and, as a native Texan, considers joining the Gusto team a true homecoming.

Cameron Lockley
proprietor
After graduating from the University of Texas with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in professional accounting, Cameron served as a senior accountant in Deloitte and Touche’s Dallas office. He then moved to Houston to hone his front-of-house skills working at the critically acclaimed Catalan Food & Wine Bar before moving to Austin and opening Gusto Italian Kitchen + Wine Bar.
His travels across Europe and to the great dining cities of the United States during his formative years enlightened his focus on the intersection of professionalism and the human touch that results in genuine hospitality - the concept that drives the culture behind all of his endeavors.
Cameron has served on the Leadership Council for the Austin Independent Business Alliance and the Advisory Board for The Wine & Food Foundation of Texas. He spends his spare time hosting dinner parties, joining friends at Barton Springs Pool and Lake Travis, and hiking with his dog Rafa at Bull Creek.
Federico Archuleta
The artist
Federico Archuleta was born and raised in the bordertown of El Paso, Texas, with Ciudad Juarez, Mexico on the other side of the Rio Grande. Like siamese twins, these cities are joined by bridges that hustle humanity, commerce, and contraband to and fro between the North and South.
Ever since Federico was thigh-high, he wanted to be an artist, and in his youth he crossed these bridges for cross pollination, letting that mad Mexican culture get under his skin and that big daddy American pop get into his hair.
Forsaking a formal art school education, Federico went for the "school of the streets" approach instead, recieving his education by directly working at jobs that honed his skills. This took him from creating mascots for platoons at Ft. Bliss,Texas to being a portrait artist on the market squares of Guadalajara, Mexico, all the way to Las Vegas and other cities as a display artist for Tower Records.
