If you live in Jacksonville, you don’t have to go far for an authentic Italian experience. Gusto – A Taste of Rome in Jacksonville Beach serves Old World Roman dishes prepared by skilled Italian chefs for a delicious and truly authentic experience. Co-owners Walter Bianchi and Executive Chef Tonino DiBella know the flavors of Italy because they’ve lived it.
