    We started with the homemade bread & dips followed by ragu pappardelle & pistachio pesto & salmon spaghetti & finishing with choux au croquelin, all of which was absolutely stunning! Puro Gusto is the real deal a genuinely authentic Italian right here in Bournemouth. Excellent, friendly service & comfy seating run by a passionate couple making everything who make everything from scratch (just difficult making a choice) will definitely be returning very soon

    Nice vibe 🇯🇲 The small island Iced Tea cocktails 🍹went down well 😊 Service was painfully slow but it was busy due to it being Father’s Day (& hey nothing ever happens in Jamaica in a hurry 😂) The food was plentiful and delicious. The chef came and had a nice chat with us after. All in all we enjoyed it 👌🏼We will be back 🫶🏼
