    The most outstanding Italian in the whole of Bournemouth (and I’m Italian). Food is delicious, service is wonderful and the chef is the loveliest person you have ever met. Finally Bournemouth town centre has somewhere worth going to!!

    Great Italian rasturant, had lunch The Ragu was excellent and a selection of homemade breads. The waitress was very good and incredibly welcoming and attentive. It's honestly worth coming here over other options locally. It still retains that old-school independent Italian charm. Brilliant.

    I recently dined at Puro Gusto and was thoroughly impressed by both the exceptional service and the outstanding homemade food. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and made to feel like part of the family. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, offering great recommendations and explaining the new menu. The food was the real star of the show. Every dish tasted fresh, flavorful, and truly homemade. You could tell that the ingredients were carefully selected and prepared with love. The Duck Breast was a standout—rich and perfectly cooked, the Seafood Risotto as well. The portion sizes were generous, and the balance of flavors in each dish was spot on. What really sets this place apart is the attention to detail. The chef clearly cares about every element on the plate, and it shows. Whether you're here for a casual meal or a special occasion, Puro Gusto delivers a dining experience that feels both personal and professional. I can't wait to return!

    Ordered a creamy truffle, padano pasta. It was served in a wheel of the cheese and it was so so tasty! The flavours could have been too intense but they weren’t. It was so well balanced and I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu! The restaurant was cute and cosy and the staff were so lovely! 10/10!
